Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fiber preparation technology, specifically to a tensile-resistant composite fiber and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of high-performance fiber materials in fields such as electronic packaging, smart textiles, and industrial protection, the tensile strength, abrasion resistance, and antistatic properties of composite fibers have become key research and application areas.

[0003] Currently, commonly used matrix materials include polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), and polyacrylonitrile (PAN), which are combined with toughening, conductive, and functional fillers to produce composite fibers. Common modification methods to improve fiber performance mainly include: introducing conductive reinforcing fillers such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and conductive carbon black to improve antistatic properties and strength; achieving toughening by blending or grafting flexible segments such as elastic polyurethane, polyetheramine, and aliphatic polyamide; and improving wear resistance by introducing nano-inorganic materials.

[0004] However, traditional material systems and modification methods still have some obvious shortcomings:

[0005] For example, conductive fillers such as graphene and carbon nanotubes have poor dispersibility in polymer matrices and are prone to agglomeration, resulting in discontinuous conductive networks, which in turn limits the stability and durability of antistatic properties.

[0006] While flexible toughening agents can improve elongation at break, they often sacrifice some strength and have poor interfacial compatibility with rigid polymers such as PET, making them prone to microcracks.

[0007] Wear-resistant fillers are prone to falling off or failing under high-load friction conditions.

[0008] The main reasons for the above problems include: interface incompatibility, unstable physical filler structure, low efficiency of chemical modification, and lack of overall system architecture with collaborative design. Therefore, a solution is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tensile-resistant composite fiber and its preparation method, which solves the technical problem that the tensile and antistatic properties of composite fibers in the prior art need to be further improved.

[0010] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: a tensile-resistant composite fiber, comprising the following components by weight: 60-80 parts modified PET, 15-20 parts modified toughening agent, 6-8 parts maleic anhydride grafted polyolefin and 1-3 parts auxiliary additives.

[0011] The modified PET is prepared by the following steps:

[0012] A1. Place modified graphene and ethylene glycol in a reaction vessel, heat the reaction vessel to 165-175℃, and keep the reaction at this temperature for 1-2 hours to obtain a graphene dispersion.

[0013] The reaction principle for preparing graphene dispersion is as follows:

[0014] During the reaction, the anhydride structure present on the surface of the modified graphene can undergo transesterification with ethylene glycol at high temperature, further introducing hydroxyl groups to obtain a uniformly dispersed graphene dispersion.

[0015] A2. Place the graphene dispersion, PTA powder, ethylene glycol, and antimony trioxide in a sealed reactor under nitrogen atmosphere and stir. Heat the reactor to 220-250℃ and maintain the temperature for 2-4 hours. Drain the water, heat the reactor to 250-270℃, evacuate to a vacuum of 50-100 Pa, and maintain the temperature for 0.5-1 hour. Post-process to obtain modified PET.

[0016] The reaction principle for the preparation of modified PET is as follows:

[0017] During the reaction, PTA reacts with ethylene glycol under the catalysis of antimony trioxide to generate ethylene glycol terephthalate intermediate. Further polycondensation reaction occurs under the catalysis of antimony trioxide. At this time, graphene has been introduced into ethylene glycol and undergoes co-condensation, block copolymerization and physical encapsulation with PTA / ethylene glycol to achieve chemical bonding into the PET main chain, thus obtaining modified PET.

[0018] Further, in step A1, the ratio of modified graphene to ethylene glycol is 3-5g:100-120mL; in step A2, the ratio of graphene dispersion, PTA powder, ethylene glycol, and antimony trioxide is 20-40mL:40-60g:10-20mL:0.5-1.0g; the post-processing step includes: after the reaction is completed, the reaction system is cooled to room temperature and the pressure is released to obtain modified PET.

[0019] Furthermore, the modified graphene is prepared by placing graphene oxide and N-methylpyrrolidone in a reaction vessel and stirring for 15-30 min. Hydroxyethyl methacrylate and dihydro-2,5-furandione are added and stirred for 5-10 min. Azobisisobutyronitrile is added, the reaction vessel is heated to 75-85℃, and the reaction is maintained for 4-6 h. The modified graphene is then obtained through post-treatment.

[0020] The preparation reaction principle of modified graphene is as follows:

[0021] During the reaction, the surface of graphene oxide contains abundant carboxyl, hydroxyl and epoxy groups. Under the initiation of azobisisobutyronitrile, hydroxyethyl methacrylate and dihydro-2,5-furandione undergo free radical polymerization on the surface of graphene oxide to form an organic coating, thus obtaining modified graphene.

[0022] Furthermore, the ratio of graphene oxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, dihydro-2,5-furandione, and azobisisobutyronitrile is 2-4g:100-150mL:6-8g:4-6g:0.4-0.8g. The post-processing steps include: after the reaction is completed, the reaction system is cooled to room temperature, filtered, the filter cake is washed 2-4 times with ethanol and deionized water, transferred to an oven at 50-60℃, and dried to constant weight to obtain modified graphene.

[0023] Furthermore, the modified toughening agent is prepared by the following steps:

[0024] B1. Place the modified polyetheramine and tetrahydrofuran in a reaction vessel under nitrogen atmosphere and stir. Add diphenylmethane diisocyanate. Heat the reaction vessel to 30-40℃ and keep it at this temperature for 20-24 hours to obtain the prepolymer.

[0025] B2. Place the prepolymer and 1,5-diaminopentane in a reactor, heat the reactor to 45-55℃, and maintain the temperature for 40-48 hours. Then, perform post-treatment to obtain the modified toughening agent.

[0026] The preparation reaction principle of the modified toughening agent is as follows:

[0027] During the reaction, under heating conditions, the isocyanate groups of diphenylmethane diisocyanate react with the amino groups of modified polyetheramine to generate urea groups. Each diphenylmethane diisocyanate molecule can react with two amino groups to form a prepolymer. By controlling the amount of diphenylmethane diisocyanate added, a prepolymer with isocyanate groups at the end is obtained. Furthermore, the prepolymer undergoes a chain extension reaction with 1,5-diaminopentane to obtain a modified toughening agent.

[0028] Further, in step B1, the ratio of the modified polyetheramine to tetrahydrofuran is 15-20g:100-150mL, and diphenylmethane diisocyanate is added at 0.55 times the total molar amount of the modified polyetheramine amino group; in step B2, the ratio of the prepolymer to 1,5-diaminopentane is 100-120mL:2-4g, and the post-treatment step includes: after the reaction is completed, the reaction solution is transferred to an oven at a temperature of 50-60℃ and dried to constant weight to obtain the modified toughening agent.

[0029] Furthermore, the modified polyetheramine is prepared by the following steps:

[0030] C1. Place 3-bromothiophene-2-carbonyl diethyl acetal and tetrahydrofuran in a reaction vessel and stir. Cool the reaction vessel to -60℃±5℃, slowly add n-butyllithium, keep warm and stir for 20-30 min, add perfluorocyclopentene, restore the reaction vessel to room temperature, stir for 10-12 h, add p-toluenesulfonic acid, keep warm and react for 10-12 h, and then post-process to obtain intermediate I.

[0031] The reaction formula for the preparation of intermediate I is as follows:

[0032]

[0033] The reaction principle for the preparation of intermediate I is as follows:

[0034] During the reaction, under low temperature conditions, n-butyllithium undergoes a lithium-halogen exchange reaction with 3-bromothiophene-2-carbonyl diethyl acetal to generate an aromatic lithium active intermediate. Perfluorocyclopentene is a strongly electron-deficient double bond compound with strong reactivity to the aromatic lithium active intermediate. The two substances further undergo nucleophilic addition and hydrolyze to an aldehyde group under the catalysis of p-toluenesulfonic acid to obtain intermediate I.

[0035] C2. Place intermediate I, 3A molecular sieve and polyetheramine in a reaction vessel and stir. Add acetic acid aqueous solution to pH 6-7 and react at room temperature for 4-6 hours. Post-treatment yields modified polyetheramine.

[0036] The reaction formula for the preparation of modified polyetheramine is:

[0037]

[0038] The preparation reaction principle of modified polyetheramine is as follows:

[0039] During the reaction, the aldehyde group of intermediate I undergoes an amine-aldehyde condensation reaction with the amino group of the polyetheramine to generate a modified polyetheramine with a Schiff base structure.

[0040] Further, in step C1, the ratio of 3-bromothiophene-2-carbonyl diethyl acetal, tetrahydrofuran, n-butyllithium, perfluorocyclopentene, and p-toluenesulfonic acid is 4-6 g: 50-80 mL: 15-20 mL: 2-4 g: 0.5-1.0 g. The post-treatment step includes: after the reaction is complete, wait for the reaction system to cool to room temperature, add 30 mL of dichloromethane and 50 mL of deionized water to the reaction solution, wash 2-4 times, and transfer the organic phase to a temperature of 60-70°C. In a rotary evaporator at 0°C, the mixture is evaporated under reduced pressure until no liquid is collected, yielding intermediate I; in step C2, the weight ratio of intermediate I, 3A molecular sieve, and polyetheramine is 4-6:1-2:8-10, and the concentration of the acetic acid aqueous solution is 0.5-1.0 mol / L. The post-processing steps include: after the reaction is completed, the reaction system is cooled to room temperature, filtered, and the filtrate is transferred to a rotary evaporator at a temperature of 90-100°C, evaporated under reduced pressure until no liquid is collected, yielding modified polyetheramine.

[0041] The present invention also provides a method for preparing a tensile-resistant composite fiber, comprising the following steps:

[0042] S1. Mix the modified PET, modified toughening agent, maleic anhydride grafted polyolefin and auxiliary additives evenly, add them to a twin-screw extruder, melt extrude, and pelletize to obtain masterbatch;

[0043] S2. Add the masterbatch to the spinning machine, melt spin, draw and set to obtain composite fiber.

[0044] Furthermore, the auxiliary additive is composed of antioxidants, plasticizers, and lubricants in a mass ratio of 1:4:4. The antioxidant is one or more of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, pentaerythritol tetrakis[β-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)propionate], and 4,4'-thiobis(6-tert-butyl-3-methylphenol). The plasticizer is one or more of dibutyl phthalate, diisononyl phthalate, and dioctyl sebacate. The lubricant is one or more of fatty acid amides, oleamides, and paraffin wax.

[0045] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0046] 1. This invention involves the formation of an aromatic lithium intermediate from 3-bromothiophene-2-carbonyl acetal under the action of n-butyllithium, followed by addition with octafluorocyclopentene. This successfully introduces a perfluorinated functional group and a thiophene ring, endowing the modified polyetheramine with excellent thermal stability, hydrophobicity, and rigid structural units. Subsequently, acid-catalyzed deprotection forms an aldehyde group capable of condensing with amines, achieving covalent bonding between the polyetheramine and the heterocyclic structure. This enhances the molecular chain entanglement and interfacial bonding of the material. Furthermore, after the modified polyetheramine reacts with diisocyanate to form a prepolymer, it undergoes chain extension with 1,5-diaminopentane to form a higher molecular weight, more complex structure. A more stable polyurea-based toughening agent, which acts as a reactive toughening agent in composite fibers, can not only be effectively dispersed in the polyester matrix, but also form hydrogen bonds and chemical bonds with modified PET molecules through end groups. This enhances the compatibility and interfacial bonding strength between the modified toughening agent and other matrices, suppresses stress concentration, and thus significantly improves the tensile strength, elongation at break, and abrasion resistance of the composite fibers. In addition, the intramolecular freedom brought by the flexible segments of polyetheramine can also buffer the propagation of microcracks in the fibers during processing and use, enabling the composite fibers to maintain strength while possessing better abrasion resistance and toughness.

[0047] 2. This invention introduces functional groups into a thiophene acetal intermediate using n-butyllithium and octafluorocyclopentene, forming a structure with a diarylethylene backbone. This structure belongs to the photoisomerization unit and can undergo reversible ring-opening and ring-closing isomerization reactions under ultraviolet and visible light, thereby changing its electronic structure, polarity, and spatial configuration. When the composite fiber is slightly damaged or has microcracks, this structure can generate molecular motion under light or heat excitation, and through π-π stacking, hydrogen bond reconstruction, or dynamic covalent bond self-assembly, the cracks on the surface of the composite fiber can be partially closed or repaired, thereby achieving a self-healing effect. As a result, the tensile and abrasion resistance of the composite fiber is improved. In addition, the diisocyanate undergoes a polymerization reaction with the modified polyetheramine and 1,5-diaminopentane to form a network structure rich in amino groups, urea groups, flexible segments and rigid diarylene structures. This design endows the material with dynamic and reversible cross-linking points and flexible molecular migration channels. When micro-damage occurs, it can self-regulate and heal through molecular rearrangement and stress release. This not only improves the toughness and stability of the composite fiber, but also endows the material with reversibility, reconfigurability and local repair ability under light or heat response, thereby improving the service life and reliability of the composite fiber.

[0048] 3. In the preparation of modified PET, this invention involves surface grafting modification of graphene oxide with hydroxyethyl methacrylate and dihydro-2,5-furandione to form organically modified graphene with active double bonds and polar functional groups. This modified graphene is then reacted with ethylene glycol at high temperature to form a stable graphene dispersion. The addition of graphene significantly improves the antistatic properties of traditional PET and acts as a reinforcing and toughening filler at the microscale, enhancing the wear resistance of the composite fiber. Furthermore, the graphene dispersion is further condensed with PTA powder and ethylene glycol under antimony trioxide catalysis. The polymerization reaction forms a polyester backbone with an intramolecular graphene structure. This in-situ composite modification method has higher stability and interfacial compatibility compared with simple physical filling. The graphene sheets are connected to the modified PET chain segments through covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds, effectively avoiding the problem of aggregation and precipitation, and forming conductive channels in the material, which effectively improves the electron migration ability of the modified PET. Secondly, the two-dimensional sheet structure of graphene can build a micro-conductive network in the polymer, which can significantly reduce the surface resistance of the material even at low filling levels, prevent static electricity accumulation, and thus improve the antistatic ability of the fiber.

[0152] Data Analysis:

[0153] A comparative analysis of the data in Table 1 reveals that the composite fiber prepared in this invention has a tensile strength of 6.3 cN·dtex. -1 The elongation at break is 95.3%, and the resistivity is 2.1 × 10⁻⁶. 6 Meanwhile, the abrasion resistance index is 386 cycles / mg. -1 The data in this invention are superior to those in the comparative example. This invention successfully introduces a perfluorinated functional group and a thiophene ring by forming an aromatic lithium intermediate from 3-bromothiophene-2-carbonyl acetal under the action of n-butyllithium, followed by addition with octafluorocyclopentene, thus obtaining a modified polyetheramine. Furthermore, the modified polyetheramine reacts with diisocyanate to form a prepolymer, which is then chain-extended with 1,5-diaminopentane to form a polyurea-based toughening agent with higher molecular weight and more stable structure. Surface grafting modification of graphene oxide with hydroxyethyl methacrylate and dihydro-2,5-furandione forms a polymer with active double bonds and polar functional groups. Modified graphene is then reacted with ethylene glycol at high temperature to form a stable graphene dispersion. Further, the graphene dispersion undergoes a polycondensation reaction with PTA powder and ethylene glycol under antimony trioxide catalysis to form modified PET with an intramolecular graphene structure. The modified PET, toughening agent, maleic anhydride-grafted polyolefin, and auxiliary additives are mixed evenly and added to a twin-screw extruder for melt extrusion and pelletizing to obtain masterbatch. The masterbatch is then added to a spinning machine for melt spinning, drawing, and shaping to obtain composite fibers. This process not only improves the tensile strength of the composite fibers but also enhances their antistatic and abrasion resistance.
