Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of flame-retardant fabrics, and in particular to a highly flame-retardant pre-oxidized filament fabric material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Pre-oxidized fiber is a high-performance intermediate fiber made primarily from polyacrylonitrile through continuous high-temperature stabilization treatment in air. It possesses excellent thermal stability, oxidative inertness, and intrinsic flame retardancy. Due to its resistance to melting and dripping at high temperatures, low pyrolysis rate, and high carbonization residue, it is widely used in heat protection materials such as flame-retardant fabrics, thermal insulation blankets, and protective clothing.
[0003] Existing pre-oxidized filament fabrics still have significant shortcomings in terms of performance consistency, interlayer bonding strength, and manufacturing process stability. Firstly, regarding yarn structure, the diameter and twist of traditional pre-oxidized filament fibers are difficult to control precisely, leading to problems such as fraying, looseness, and misalignment during weaving. This results in poor fabric surface smoothness and insufficient structural density, ultimately affecting the mechanical properties and dimensional stability of the final fabric. Secondly, existing multilayer fabrics often lack effective interlayer bonding mechanisms, relying heavily on physical pressing or inefficient resin coating. This makes them prone to interlayer slippage under heat or external force, and the bonding strength is insufficient to meet the demands of harsh application environments.
[0004] Furthermore, although existing research has attempted to improve the thermal flame retardancy of fabrics by introducing organophosphorus or organosilicon flame-retardant coatings onto the fabric surface, poor adhesion or incomplete curing often leads to uneven coating distribution and brittle structure, affecting not only the fabric's flexibility but also its breathability and comfort. In industrial applications, existing technologies struggle to achieve an effective balance among the comprehensive requirements of good flame retardancy, flexibility, heat-sealing ability, and breathability.
[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need to develop a high-performance pre-oxidized filament fabric material that is structurally stable, highly flame-retardant, has strong interlayer bonding, and is also breathable, along with a set of efficient and controllable preparation methods, in order to solve the technical bottlenecks of existing pre-oxidized filament fabric materials in terms of monofilament thermal stability, fabric structure density, interlayer bonding efficiency, and overall heat sealing performance. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide a high flame-retardant pre-oxidized filament fabric material and its preparation method.
[0007] A high flame-retardant pre-oxidized filament fabric material is a multi-layered twill woven reinforcing fabric, consisting of at least two layers of pre-oxidized split-film flat filament weave and one thermally bonded reinforcing layer, wherein: The thickness of the pre-oxidized fibrous membrane flat filament is 20–40 μm, and the width is 0.15–0.25 mm; The pre-oxidized filament layer adopts a twill interwoven structure, with a base fabric weight of 450-520 g / m² and a warp and weft density of 55-65 threads / cm; The thermally bonded reinforcing layer is disposed between two pre-oxidized filament layers and is composed of a hydrophobic phosphorus-silicon hybrid coating formed by heat treatment. The coating has a particle size of less than 500 nm and a thermal curing temperature of 160–180 °C.
[0008] Preferably, the pre-oxidized fibrous film flat yarn is made from polyacrylonitrile fiber by continuous constant temperature pre-oxidation treatment at 230-280°C in air atmosphere for 8-12 hours, and its carbon content is not less than 60%.
[0009] Preferably, the polyacrylonitrile fiber raw material is obtained by copolymerizing acrylonitrile and methacrylamide monomers, with the mass fraction of methacrylamide being 1-5%. The copolymer is synthesized by solution polymerization and then concentrated and dried to serve as a precursor polymer for wet spinning.
[0010] Preferably, the polyacrylonitrile fiber raw material is further mixed with polytetrafluoroethylene micro powder with a particle size of 0.1 to 1 μm in a mass ratio of 1:5.5 to 19 with the polyacrylonitrile raw material. The raw material is dispersed by high-speed shearing and then wet-spun to obtain the precursor fiber.
[0011] Preferably, the precursor fiber is subjected to hot stretching treatment at a temperature of 160-200°C, with a stretching ratio of 2.0-3.5 times and a treatment time of 3-6 minutes.
[0012] Preferably, the thermally bonded reinforcing layer is obtained by dissolving a mixed precursor of aluminum phosphate, ethyltriethoxysilane and aminopropyltriethoxysilane in a mass ratio of 1:(0.5-1.5):(0.5-1.5) in ethanol and applying it to the surface of the intermediate layer by impregnation.
[0013] Preferably, the mixed precursor also contains 0.5-2% triethylamine by mass, and is heat-cured at 170-180°C after application, with a heat treatment time of 2-4 minutes.
[0014] A method for preparing a highly flame-retardant pre-oxidized filament fabric includes the following steps: S1: Acrylonitrile and methacrylamide are copolymerized in a mass fraction ratio, and a polymer solution is synthesized by solution polymerization. The polymer solution is then washed with water and dried to obtain a precursor polymer for spinning. S2: The precursor polymer is mixed with polytetrafluoroethylene micro powder with a particle size of 0.1-1 μm in a certain proportion, dispersed by high-speed shearing, and then wet-spun to obtain the precursor fiber; S3: The filament obtained from spinning is continuously pre-oxidized at a constant temperature of 230-280°C in air for 8-12 hours, and then subjected to hot stretching treatment at 160-200°C for 3-6 minutes with a stretching ratio of 2.0-3.5 times. The interval between the pre-oxidation temperature and the hot stretching temperature shall not exceed 50°C. S4: The heat-treated pre-oxidized slit flat yarn is woven into two layers of fabric using a twill weave method. Before weaving, the flat yarn is moistened in a water bath at 75-85℃ for 10-20 minutes. After weaving, it is heat-set at 110-130℃ for 20-30 minutes. S5: Dissolve aluminum phosphate, ethyltriethoxysilane and aminopropyltriethoxysilane in an ethanol aqueous solution in proportion, add 0.5-2% triethylamine, apply it between two pre-oxidized filament layers by impregnation, and heat cure at 170-180℃ for 32-34 minutes.
[0015] Preferably, after the S2 wet spinning step, the raw yarn is surface-dried by hot air at 40-60°C without being wound, and is directly fed into the pre-oxidation section. The conveying time between the spinning outlet and the pre-oxidation inlet is controlled to be 2-3 minutes.
[0016] Preferably, the twill weave adopts a three-up-two-down or three-down-two-up weave structure, and a gap of 0.1 to 0.3 mm is left between the upper and lower layers of fabric after the weave is completed.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. The use of pre-oxidized flat yarn with a split film is limited to its thickness and width range. Combined with continuous constant temperature pre-oxidation and hot stretching treatment, the monofilament itself has excellent thermal stability and flame retardancy, thereby enhancing the fabric's smoothness, structural density and yarn synergistic load-bearing capacity.
[0018] 2. A phosphorus-silicon hybrid coating precursor system was incorporated into the thermally bonded reinforcement layer, with specific precursor ratios and thermosetting parameters determined. Triethylamine was added as a catalyst to promote coating densification and hybridization, resulting in a stable and continuous thermally bonded coating. This coating not only provides flame-retardant reinforcement but, more importantly, achieves efficient and uniform bonding between the upper and lower layers, solving the problems of easy interlayer slippage and insufficient adhesion in existing multi-layer fabric structures.
[0019] 3. By specifically setting key steps such as water bath wetting treatment, heat setting, fabric gap and coating heat curing, the overall fabric maintains structural stability while possessing good air permeability and heat sealing performance. Detailed Implementation
