Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of polyester aerogel fibers, and relates to a skin-core type polyester aerogel fiber and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the aggravation of global climate problems, the increase in the cost of space heating and cooling and its impact on the environment, researchers are increasingly focusing on the personal thermal management function of textiles. In cold environments, traditional cold-weather clothing often uses down, cotton and other filling materials, but such materials have certain limitations in terms of warmth and comfort. With further research, aerogel textiles have gradually become a research hotspot for personal thermal management textiles due to their advantages of being lightweight, having good warmth retention and strong air permeability.

[0003] Silica aerogel is a lightweight porous new material with a three-dimensional nanometer grid structure, and has the advantages of high surface area, high porosity, low thermal conductivity and low density. Polyester fibers have the advantages of high strength, good wear resistance and good elasticity, but their performance in terms of thermal insulation and the like is lacking. The combination of the two can make polyester fibers have the characteristics of lightness, thermal insulation and the like. The current production method of silica polyester aerogel fibers mainly uses in-situ blending and post-treatment and the like, but with the addition of silica, the aerogel particles are prone to agglomeration, resulting in poor melt flowability of the chips and failing to meet the requirements of the spinning process. Moreover, the two are prone to uneven dispersion, poor interfacial bonding and damage to the aerogel structure during mixing, resulting in poor mechanical properties and thermal insulation of the fibers.

[0004] In the document "Thermal Insulation PET / SiO2 Aerogel Composite Fiber Preparation and Thermal Conductivity Research[D]. 2023.", silica aerogel is added to PET by melt blending and adding carbon tetrachloride as a dispersant to prepare silica polyester aerogel fibers. This method reduces the falling of dust, but with the addition of SiO2 aerogel, the mechanical properties of the fibers are deteriorated, and carbon tetrachloride as a dispersion medium can harm the environment and the body.

[0005] Patent application No. CN117430922A discloses a silica-containing aerogel polyester masterbatch, a preparation method thereof and a silica-containing aerogel polyester fiber. However, the silica content of the silica-containing aerogel polyester masterbatch is ≤8%, and the interfacial shear strength is ≤5MPa, which is difficult to be used as the core material of high-performance skin-core fibers, and is prone to problems such as aerogel particle shedding and fiber breakage. Moreover, some aerogel particles are exposed on the surface of the fibers, and the structure of the aerogel changes over time due to the erosion of moisture and oxygen in the air, thereby affecting the thermal insulation effect.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a skin-core type polyester aerogel fiber and a preparation method thereof to solve the above problems, which is of great significance. SUMMARY

[0007] The present application aims to solve the problems existing in the prior art and provide a skin-core type polyester aerogel fiber and a preparation method thereof.

[0014] (b) mixing the modified hydrophilic silica aerogel, silane coupling agent, PTA, ethylene glycol, water and other substances, and heating to hydrolyze the silane coupling agent, and the hydrolyzed silane coupling agent reacts with the modified hydrophilic silica aerogel at one end to form a covalent bond, and reacts with one end of PTA and / or ethylene glycol at the other end to form a covalent bond, wherein the other substances include an initiator (such as ammonium persulfate) and a catalyst;

[0015] Taking the silane coupling agent KH560 as an example, the reaction process of step (b) is described, and the reaction equation is as follows:

[0017] (CH3O)3Si-(CH2)3-O-CH2-CH(O)CH2+3H2O→(HO)3Si-(CH2)3-O-CH2-CH(O)CH2+3CH3OH;

[0018] ② Reaction of one end of the hydrolyzed silane coupling agent with the modified hydrophilic silica aerogel, and the reaction equation is as follows:

[0020] The other end of the hydrolyzed silane coupling agent reacts with one end of PTA and / or ethylene glycol, and part of the reaction equation is as follows:

[0021] SiO2-[Si-(CH2)3-O-CH2-CH(O)CH2] n +nHO-CH2CH2-OH→SiO2-[Si-(CH2)3-O-CH2-CH(OH)-CH2-O-CH2CH2-OH] n +nH2O;

[0022] (c) Adjust the reaction conditions so that PTA and ethylene glycol undergo esterification and polycondensation reactions in turn;

[0023] In this process, the product of step (b) also reacts with the polyester segment (the polycondensation product of PTA and ethylene glycol, PET), and the reaction equation is as follows:

[0024] SiO2-[Si-(CH2)3-O-CH2-CH(OH)-CH2-O-CH2CH2-OH] n +nHO-PET→SiO2-[Si-(CH2)3-O-CH2-CH(OH)-CH2-O-CH2CH2-O-PET] n + nH2O;

[0341] (3) The premix was added into a twin-screw extruder together with polyester, and after melt blending, it was extruded and pelletized; wherein the screw speed was 140r / min, the initial melting zone temperature of the twin-screw extruder was 266℃, the melting zone temperature was 273℃, the extruder temperature was 285℃, the water tank temperature was 31℃, and the pelletizer speed was 282r / min;

[0345] (7) The core layer raw material in step (6) was used as the core layer raw material, and the polyester (the same as the polyester used in the preparation of the core layer raw material) was used as the skin layer raw material, and then a skin-core composite process was used for spinning, and the process flow was: melting → metering → extrusion → monomer suction → side air cooling → bunching and oiling → first stretching → second stretching → third stretching → setting → winding into a form;

[0350] Comparative Example 2

[0351] A method for preparing a core-sheath polyester aerogel fiber, which is basically the same as Example B9, except that the amount of core-shell structure silicon-containing polyester aerogel particles is reduced in step (2) (the mass of silane coupling agent, NMMO, and antioxidant also changes accordingly).

[0353] The breaking strength of the core-sheath polyester aerogel fiber is 3.1cN / dtex, the breaking elongation is 30%, and the thermal conductivity is 0.038W / (m·K).

[0354] Comparing Comparative Example 2 and Example B9, it can be seen that the breaking strength and breaking elongation of the core-sheath polyester aerogel fiber prepared in Comparative Example 2 increase, and the thermal conductivity increases. This is because the mechanical properties of polyester are good, which can improve the mechanical properties of the core-sheath polyester aerogel fiber, but the thermal conductivity of the core-sheath polyester aerogel fiber will be affected by the mass ratio of the core-shell structure silicon-containing polyester aerogel particles in the core layer. In Comparative Example 2, the mass ratio of the core-shell structure silicon-containing polyester aerogel particles in the core layer is small, which will lead to an increase in the thermal conductivity of the prepared core-sheath polyester aerogel fiber and a decrease in the thermal insulation performance.

[0355] Comparative Example 3

[0356] A kind of preparation method of skin-core type polyester aerogel fiber, substantially same as embodiment B9, the only difference is that the core-shell structure of the silicon-containing polyester aerogel particles in step (1) is replaced by equal mass of silica aerogel (average particle size is 3 μm, porosity is 93%).

[0357] The structure of the finally prepared skin-core type polyester aerogel fiber is substantially the same as that of embodiment B9, except that the breaking strength of the skin-core type polyester aerogel fiber is 2.18 cN / dtex, the elongation at break is 25%, and the thermal conductivity is 0.042 W / (m·K).

[0358] Comparing comparative example 3 with embodiment B9, it can be seen that the breaking strength and elongation at break of the skin-core type polyester aerogel fiber prepared in comparative example 3 are reduced, and the thermal conductivity is increased. This is because the interfacial bonding force between conventional silica aerogel and polyester is weak, which leads to brittle fracture of the fiber, resulting in a decrease in breaking strength and elongation at break. The core-shell structure of the silicon-containing polyester aerogel particles used in embodiment B9 improves the interfacial bonding force between organic and inorganic, and the core-shell structure of the silicon-containing polyester aerogel particles is coated inside the polyester, which reduces the plugging of the aerogel voids by polyester and the damage to the structure of the aerogel particles caused by mechanical stirring during the blending process, so that the prepared skin-core type polyester aerogel fiber has good mechanical properties and thermal insulation effect.
