Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of textiles, and particularly relates to a fabric manufacturing process through foaming glue printing. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of fabric printing, traditional processes such as embroidery and printing can present rich patterns and colors, but often have problems such as low processing efficiency and uneven back, especially the embroidery process, although the pattern is fine, but it needs to be operated on the fabric with needle and thread, which is time-consuming and laborious, and easy to form protrusions on the back of the fabric, affecting the overall appearance and comfort.

[0003] In order to overcome these defects, the industry has been exploring new printing processes, among which the method of printing by glue has gradually attracted attention. This method uses the adhesion and plasticity of glue to form patterns on the fabric, not only high processing efficiency, but also can keep the back of the fabric smooth and flat. However, the existing glue printing process still needs to be improved in terms of pattern fineness and level. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a fabric manufacturing process through foaming glue printing, which aims to solve the above problems.

[0005] The present application is implemented as follows: a fabric manufacturing process through foaming glue printing, comprising the following steps: S1. Glue selection and preparation: 50-65wt% of water-based polyurethane-acrylate copolymer emulsion, 8-12wt% of modified nano-silica, 5-10wt% of modified cellulose nanowhisker, 0.5-2wt% of foaming agent (such as azodicarbonamide), 0.1-0.5wt% of foam stabilizer (such as sodium dodecyl sulfate), 1-3wt% of photoinitiator (such as TPO photoinitiator), 8-12wt% of pigment (phthalocyanine blue / titanium dioxide, etc.), the rest is deionized water and auxiliary agent (leveling agent, etc.), after mixing, first stir at 800-1000rpm for 30-40min to disperse uniformly, then mechanically foam at 2000-3000rpm for 3-5min, the mechanical foaming introduces air through high-speed shear force, forming a closed-cell structure with a pore size of 50-200μm, the expansion rate is controlled by the concentration of foaming agent and stirring speed; The nano-SiO2 is grafted with acrylate chains by silane coupling agent KH-570, and free radical copolymerization occurs with polyurethane-acrylate copolymer in the curing stage to form a three-dimensional network structure in the cell wall, thereby improving the mechanical strength. The hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the surface are hydrolyzed and condensed with the methoxyl groups of KH-570 to form Si-O-Si bonds, thereby reducing the inter-particle van der Waals force, preventing cell merging, improving the uniformity of cell wall thickness, and improving the cell compression strength. The modified cellulose nanowhiskers are used to stabilize the cells together: SiO2 provides rigid support, and cellulose whiskers impart heat-responsive shrinkage.

[0006] S2. Pattern design and printing: design the pattern using computer design software, and coat the glue on the fabric according to the shape and size of the pattern by electrostatic auxiliary printing equipment. The electrostatic auxiliary printing equipment uses a high-voltage electrostatic field to make the atomized glue droplets deposit in a targeted manner (such as an Epson nozzle modification system). S3. Curing treatment: S3.1 UV pre-curing: wavelength 365 nm, intensity 80-100 mW / cm², irradiation time 3-5 s; TPO decomposition radicals are initiated by UV to make the acrylate double bonds polymerize rapidly, forming a cross-linked shell layer on the cell surface layer, inhibiting the flow of glue, preventing pattern edge diffusion, and improving line precision. S3.2 Gradient temperature heating curing: 60°C→80°C→100°C.

[0007] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified nano-silica is as follows: Disperse nano-silica (30-50 nm) in an ethanol / water (1:1) solution, add silane coupling agent KH-570 (addition amount is 15-20% of the mass of nano-silica), and react at 55-65°C for 2h, then centrifuge and dry. The modified nano-silica is added in a gradient in the polymerization of the acrylic emulsion, and the final emulsion solid content is 40±1%, and the SiO2 dispersion degree is >95%.

[0008] Preferably, the modified cellulose nanowhisker is a cellulose nanowhisker grafted with poly-N-isopropyl acrylamide, and the grafting rate is 30–50wt%.

[0009] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified cellulose nanowhisker (CNW) is as follows: (a) Carboxyl modification of cellulose nanocrystals (CNW) surface (TEMPO oxidation method) Take 200 parts of cellulose nanowhisker aqueous dispersion (1.5-2.5wt%) by weight, and add 0.01-0.02 parts of TEMPO and 0.1 parts of NaBr. Stirring at 0-5°C, slowly add 10 portions of NaClO solution (effective chlorine 12%), control pH=10.5 (add 0.5M sodium hydroxide to maintain); After 2h reaction, add 5 portions of ethanol to terminate; Centrifuge (7500-8500rpm, 10-20min) to collect the precipitate, wash with deionized water for 3 times; Dialysis (3500 Da bag) for 48h to remove small molecular impurities, obtain carboxylated CNW (COOH-CNW) aqueous dispersion; (b) Introduce RAFT chain transfer agent on CNW surface Take 100 portions of carboxylated CNW aqueous dispersion (solid content 1-2wt%), add 1.5 portions of GMA, adjust pH=9 (sodium hydroxide solution).

[0010] Stirring at 55-65°C for 12h to make GMA epoxy group react with carboxyl group of COOH-CNW, introduce double bond; Add 0.2-0.4 portions of CPADB (RAFT agent), deoxygenate for 30-40min under nitrogen; Add 0.01 portions of AIBN (initiator), react for 24h under nitrogen protection at 65-75°C; Centrifuge the reaction solution (10000rpm, 20min), wash the precipitate with ethanol and water for 3 times respectively, dialysis for 72h to remove unreacted substances, freeze-drying to obtain RAFT-CNW solid powder; (c) RAFT polymerization to graft PNIPAM Dissolve 1 portion of RAFT-CNW and 4-6 portions of NIPAM monomer in 50 portions of anhydrous ethanol / water mixed solvent (volume ratio 1:1); Deoxygenate for 30-40min under nitrogen, add 0.2-0.4 portions of AIBN; Stirring at 65-75°C for 24h under nitrogen protection; Pour the reaction solution into ice ethyl ether to precipitate.

[0011] Centrifuge (8000rpm, 15-20min) to collect the precipitate, wash with acetone for 3 times to remove homopolymer; Dialysis (3500 Da bag, ethanol / water mixture) for 72h, freeze-drying.

[0012] Thermal response shrinkage: the grafted poly N-isopropyl acrylamide undergoes hydrophilic-hydrophobic phase transition at 32-35°C, the molecular chain shrinks and drives the cellulose skeleton to fold when heated, resulting in micro-volume shrinkage and forming a controllable concave structure with a depth of 5-20μm; Thixotropic thickening: rigid nanowhiskers form a network structure under low shear (colloid standing) (viscosity > 1000 cP), effectively inhibiting colloid flow, and dissociate under high shear (print head spraying) (viscosity < 200 cP), resulting in a sudden drop in viscosity (< 200 cP) and achieving high-precision line coating without halo.

[0013] Preferably, the electrostatic printing has a print head voltage of -3.0 ± 0.3 kV, a print head to fabric distance of 5-8 mm, the fabric is grounded to form an electric field, the electric field strength is 0.4-0.8 kV / mm, the ambient humidity is controlled at 30-50% RH, and the glue atomization particle size is 15-25 μm.

[0014] Preferably, the gradient temperature is specifically 60°C for 30 s, 80°C for 30 s, and 100°C for 60 s, with a heating rate of 2°C / s, and infrared radiation heating can be used; the gradient temperature avoids the instant collapse of the bubble, stabilizes the bubble structure at 60°C, and avoids rapid shrinkage; 80°C triggers the contraction of PNIPAM to form a three-dimensional recess, enhancing the stereoscopic effect of the pattern; 100°C completely polymerizes the acrylate, and the nanometer SiO2 and cellulose whiskers form an interpenetrating network; UV curing of the surface layer + infrared gradient curing of the deep layer realizes external shaping and internal shaping.

[0015] Preferably, the glue further contains 0.3-0.5 wt% of an ionic liquid (such as 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate), which is pre-dissolved in ethanol (1:1 by volume) before being added to the glue, and the glue is stirred at 800-1000 rpm for 30-40 min; the ionic liquid reduces the electrical resistance of the glue, improves the efficiency of electrostatic atomization, is compatible with nanometer SiO2, and the cations are adsorbed on the surface of the nanometer SiO2, reducing the surface tension of the glue, the atomization voltage, and avoiding bubble rupture.

[0016] Preferably, the process further includes a post-processing step of washing the fabric and softening or waterproofing the fabric as needed.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of the present application have the following beneficial effects: Smooth back: due to the use of glue printing, the process can form fine patterns on the fabric while keeping the back smooth, improving the appearance and comfort of the product.

[0018] High processing efficiency: the process uses mechanized printing equipment, greatly improving the processing efficiency, and significantly shortening the production cycle and reducing the production cost compared with traditional embroidery printing.

[0019] Strong pattern rendering capability: through precise printing equipment and glue blending technology, the process can achieve complex and delicate pattern effects, providing more creative space for designers and making the product more personalized and creative.

[0020] Environmental protection: the glue used in this process meets the environmental protection requirements and will not pollute the environment. At the same time, since a large number of needles and dyes do not need to be used, this process also has certain advantages in reducing waste and energy consumption. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
