Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an antigen-fiberizing finishing method for tussah silk knitted fabrics, belonging to the technical field of finishing and modification application of tussah silk materials and their fabrics. Background Technology

[0002] Tussah silk fiber possesses excellent moisture absorption and wicking properties, breathability, and resistance to acid and alkali solvents, and is currently used in clothing and home textiles. Tussah silk fabrics have a natural, jewel-like soft luster and a unique style. However, during daily use and washing, tussah silk fabrics are prone to fibrillation, where fine fibrils peel off from the fiber surface. Under friction, this can easily cause pilling and fuzzing, resulting in localized whitening of the fabric surface and affecting its appearance. To address this issue, a glutaraldehyde-based finishing method has been developed to improve the insufficient cohesion between tussah silk fibrils, which leads to their peeling and subsequent fiber breakage, thereby enhancing the sustainable functionality of tussah silk fabrics.

[0003] Traditional singeing and shearing processes cause significant damage to the surface fibers of fabrics. Coating methods lack durability, and surface coatings significantly affect the fabric's moisture permeability, breathability, and hand feel. Patent application CN120158934A proposes a composite finishing process using polyurethane or acrylic resin as a crosslinking agent, combined with bio-enzyme pretreatment and plasma treatment, to improve the pilling resistance of knitted fabrics. However, this method has high processing costs and complex procedures, making it unsuitable for industrial production.

[0004] Tussah silk fibers are composed of amphiphilic amino acids. The polar residues in the chain segments provide a large number of reaction sites. Glutaraldehyde, which is commonly used in industrial production, is used as a cross-linking finishing agent to form a covalent cross-linking network between fibroin fibrils and between sericin and fibroin fibrils inside the fiber, thereby enhancing the cohesion between fibroin fibrils and the bonding effect of sericin on fibroin. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to use glutaraldehyde molecular modification technology to solidify the fibers in tussah silk fabric, reduce fibrillation, improve the appearance of the fabric, improve the pilling and fuzzing grade of the fabric, while maintaining the original softness, moisture permeability and breathability of the fabric, reducing production costs and simplifying the process.

[0006] The present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions to solve the above problems; A method for antigen-fibrillating finishing of tussah silk knitted fabrics includes the following steps: Step 1): Pre-treat the tussah silk fabric by degumming using an impregnation process; Step 2): Acid treatment is applied to the pretreated tussah silk fabric; Step 3): Cross-link the acid-treated tussah silk fabric; Step 4): The cross-linked fabric is subjected to a reaction termination treatment; Step 5): Perform anti-pilling treatment on the fabric after the termination reaction treatment; Step 6): The fabric treated with anti-pilling and anti-fuzzing agents is then set and finished using a high-temperature setting machine.

[0009] Preferably, in step 3), the crosslinking agent used in the crosslinking treatment is glutaraldehyde, with a pH of 3-8, a crosslinking treatment time of 30-300 min, and a temperature of 20-60℃.

[0010] Preferably, in step 3), the pH of the crosslinking treatment is adjusted by glacial acetic acid, dilute hydrochloric acid, or citric acid.

[0012] Preferably, in step 4), the pH of the reaction termination treatment is adjusted by sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, or sodium hydroxide.

[0013] Preferably, in step 5), the anti-pilling treatment uses an anti-pilling agent whose effective component is modified colloidal polysilicic acid with a concentration of 10~50g / L, a temperature of 20~50℃, and a treatment time of 5~20min; after the anti-pilling treatment, a horizontal rolling mill is used for one dip and one roll, with a roll residue rate of 50~70%.

[0014] Preferably, in step 6), the shaping and finishing process is divided into two stages: pre-drying and baking. The pre-drying stage is: drying in a hot air environment of 80~100℃ for 180~300s, and the baking stage is: baking at 130~160℃ for 60~150s.

[0015] Preferably, in step 6), the tussah silk fabric in the finishing process needs to be over-stretched, and the over-feeding is achieved by adjusting the speed difference of the guide rollers before and after the high-temperature finishing machine by 10-20%.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. It can effectively reduce "white frost" and "pilling" on fabrics during wear and use, and has low yellowing and excellent washability.

[0017] 2. While improving the appearance and smoothness of tussah silk, it has almost no impact on the moisture absorption and hydrophilicity of tussah silk. Attached Figure Description
