Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of high-strength fibers, in particular to a preparation process of molecular sieve-polypropylene blended high-strength fibers. BACKGROUND
[0002] Polypropylene fibers have become one of the rapidly developing varieties of synthetic fibers due to their abundant raw material sources, simple production process, and low energy consumption. However, the polypropylene molecular structure is tight, the crystallinity is high, the hydrophobicity is strong, and there is a lack of polar groups or reactive groups, which leads to poor moisture absorption and dyeing, limiting its application in the field of textiles and clothing.
[0003] To improve the moisture absorption and dyeing of polypropylene fibers, chemical modification methods such as blending, copolymerization, and grafting are commonly used in the prior art, but these methods generally have the problems of complex process, high cost, and high equipment requirements. In recent years, methods for constructing a microporous structure inside the fiber through physical methods to improve moisture absorption and moisture conductivity through capillary effect have gradually attracted attention. At the same time, inorganic particle filling modification has become an effective way to realize low-cost and high-performance of polymers, and molecular sieves show unique advantages in composite materials due to their uniform pore size, large specific surface area, and good adsorption performance.
[0004] At present, there are still few studies on blending molecular sieves with polypropylene for spinning and systematically optimizing the spinning process to simultaneously improve the mechanical properties and functionality (such as moisture absorption and dyeing) of the fibers. The effects of process parameters on the structure of the fibers are not clear, and there is a lack of a complete and industrialized preparation scheme for high-strength functional polypropylene fibers.
