Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of nonwoven materials technology, specifically a two-component ultrafine spunbond hydroentangled nonwoven material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Nonwoven fabrics refer to sheet or roll materials obtained by directly forming a web from fibers without traditional spinning and weaving processes, followed by heating and reinforcement. Based on the web-forming process, they are classified into several categories: spunbond, meltblown, hydroentangling, needle punching, and thermal bonding. Spunbond technology involves stretching molten polymer into ultrafine fibers using high-speed hot air, then directly cooling to form a web. It features extremely fine fibers and small pores, and is generally used for intermediate filtration and sound-absorbing functional layers. Hydroentangling technology uses high-pressure micro-water needles to entangle the fibers, resulting in a smooth and soft material, used in synthetic leather base fabrics.
[0003] The bicomponent spunbond hydroentangling process combines composite spinning technology with spunbond nonwoven technology. By using hydroentangling, composite filament fibers are peeled off and intertwined. The resulting material combines the technological and performance advantages of both spunbond and hydroentangled nonwoven materials. However, the existing bicomponent spunbond hydroentangling process still has some problems. For example, bicomponent materials are generally hydrophobic, and the prepared products have poor hydrophilicity and moisture permeability, requiring hydrophilic modification treatment after the finished product, which may lead to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the material. In the spunbond process, the smaller the fiber diameter, the easier it is to break during spinning, making it difficult to balance fineness and mechanical properties.
[0004] In summary, solving the above problems and preparing a two-component ultrafine spunbond hydroentangled nonwoven material is of great significance. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Preferred method for preparing modified montmorillonite includes the following steps: (1) Styrene, maleic anhydride, N-methyldiallylamine and azobisisobutyronitrile are added to isoamyl acetate under a nitrogen atmosphere and stirred evenly. The mixture is stirred and reacted at 70-80°C for 6-8 hours. The product is centrifuged, washed and dried to obtain maleic anhydride copolymer. (2) Add the maleic anhydride copolymer to a 35-40 wt% sodium hydroxide solution, stir at 30-40℃ for 40-60 min, adjust the pH to 5-6, remove the solvent by rotary evaporation, wash, and dry to obtain the hydrolyzed maleic anhydride copolymer.

(4) Add montmorillonite to deionized water and ultrasonically disperse it evenly.

[0013] Preferably, the modified nylon 6 masterbatch comprises the following raw materials, by mass parts: 44-46 parts caprolactam, 3-3.4 parts 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, 1.2-1.3 parts ethylenediamine, and 6-8 parts modified montmorillonite.
[0014] Preferably, during the hydroentangling fiber opening and reinforcement process, the hydroentangling energy is 18~24 J / g; during the side-blowing traction spinning process, the diameter of the bicomponent fibers is 10~15 μm, and the shape is hollow orange-petal type; the areal density of the bicomponent ultrafine spunbond hydroentangled nonwoven material is 100~120 g / m². 2 .
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: The present invention prepares modified polyester masterbatch and modified nylon 6 masterbatch respectively by using montmorillonite organic modification as a reinforcing filler, and uses it as the modifier corresponding to the two-component masterbatch. Nonwoven materials composed of two-component ultrafine fibers are prepared by spunbonding and hydroentangling methods. It has good mechanical properties and small diameter fineness, achieves a balance between fiber splitting ability and mechanical properties, and improves the hydrophilicity of nonwoven materials.
[0016] The method for organic modification of montmorillonite is as follows: styrene, maleic anhydride, and N-methyldiallylamine are copolymerized under the initiation of azobisisobutyronitrile to obtain a maleic anhydride copolymer. Then, the copolymer is added to a sodium hydroxide solution to hydrolyze the maleic anhydride groups and acidify them, resulting in a partially carboxyl-containing hydrolyzed maleic anhydride copolymer. Further, dibromoneopentyl glycol is used to modify the N-methyldiallylamine groups in the copolymer with quaternary ammonium. Finally, the copolymer chains are introduced into the interlayer of montmorillonite using an intercalation method to obtain modified montmorillonite.
[0017] Montmorillonite, with its nanosheet structure, can interact with polymer chain ends to form a network structure. Its introduction helps improve the mechanical properties of the fiber matrix and acts as a heat stabilizer, adsorbing small molecules and water from the polymer to reduce thermal degradation. Simultaneously, it acts as a nucleating agent, increasing the crystallization rate and production efficiency. Modifying montmorillonite using a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer as a base helps improve its dispersibility in the matrix, enhancing fiber uniformity and mechanical properties. During traction spinning, it reduces the risk of accidental breakage, allowing for smaller fiber diameters. Furthermore, the maleic anhydride groups, through alkaline hydrolysis, generate carboxylates, further increasing the matrix's hydrophilicity. Adjusting the pH retains some carboxyl groups, facilitating subsequent grafting modification. Finally, using dibromoneopentyl glycol to modify the N-methyldiallylamine groups in the copolymer with quaternary ammonium compounds for intercalation modification introduces them into the montmorillonite interlayer, while the two hydroxyl groups further enhance the matrix's hydrophilicity.
[0018] The modified polyester masterbatch is prepared by transesterification and polycondensation of dimethyl terephthalate, dimethyl 2,5-furandicarboxylate, ethylene glycol, and modified montmorillonite under the catalysis of zinc acetate and antimony glycolate. The modified nylon 6 masterbatch is prepared by solid-phase polycondensation of caprolactam, 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, 1.2-1.3 parts ethylenediamine, and 6-8 parts modified montmorillonite.
[0019] In this process, the copolymerization of montmorillonite with a structure similar to that of the masterbatch before use further promotes the dispersion of montmorillonite in the matrix, enhances mechanical properties, and ensures the presence of a large number of hydrophilic groups after grafting, thus maintaining the hydrophilicity of the matrix. Simultaneously, furan groups are introduced during the corresponding copolymerization modification process, which helps improve fiber mechanical properties while creating a certain similarity between the two components. Furthermore, the modified montmorillonite has a similar structure, which helps improve the compatibility and adhesion of the two components, preventing fiber splitting during spinning and improving fiber uniformity and mechanical properties. However, the amount of masterbatch prepared from modified montmorillonite needs to be limited; excessive content can lead to greater adhesion between the two components, reduced hydroentangling efficiency, and decreased water absorption of the material.

[0031]
[0032] Conclusion: As shown in the table, this invention prepared modified polyester masterbatch and modified nylon 6 masterbatch by using montmorillonite organic modification as a reinforcing filler, and used it as the modifier corresponding to the two-component masterbatch. Nonwoven materials composed of two-component ultrafine fibers were prepared by spunbonding and hydroentangling. These materials have good mechanical properties and small diameter fineness, achieving a balance between fiber splitting ability and mechanical properties, and improving the hydrophilicity of the nonwoven materials.
[0033] In Comparative Example 1, montmorillonite was modified only with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, resulting in weak dispersion and a lack of reinforcing segments and hydrophilic groups. Consequently, its mechanical properties decreased significantly, and its absorption time was longer. In Comparative Example 2, the addition of modified polyester masterbatch and modified nylon 6 masterbatch increased the adhesion between the two components, reduced the hydroentangling fiber opening efficiency, and consequently decreased the water absorption of the material. In Comparative Examples 3 and 4, furan groups were not introduced into the single modified masterbatch. This resulted in a certain decrease in the similarity between the two components, reduced compatibility and adhesion, fiber splitting during spinning, decreased fiber uniformity, and a slight decrease in mechanical properties.
