Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of textile fabric technology, and more specifically, to a metallic luster fabric and a method for preparing the same. Background Technology
[0002] With the deep integration of textile technology and materials science, fabrics with metallic luster, due to their unique visual effects and functional characteristics, can meet consumers' requirements for personalized and differentiated aesthetic effects, and show broad application prospects in fashion apparel, industrial protection, smart home and other fields.
[0003] Traditional processes typically involve blending metal fibers such as stainless steel and aluminum with ordinary fibers such as cotton and polyester, or using surface coating processes. This involves coating the fabric surface with resin containing metal micropowders such as aluminum foil powder and copper powder, utilizing the high reflectivity of the metal fibers or metal micropowders to achieve a natural metallic luster effect on the fabric.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors discovered that the addition of metal fibers often directly sacrifices the softness of the fabric, making it feel stiff. Furthermore, insufficient cohesion between metal fibers and ordinary fibers easily leads to uneven blending, resulting in uneven luster distribution. Coating the surface with a resin coating agent containing metal micropowder significantly reduces the fabric's breathability, severely impacting the wearing comfort of the fabric. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to improve the softness and breathability of metallic fabrics, and enhance the uniformity of the luster and wearing comfort of the fabrics, this application provides a metallic fabric and a method for preparing the same.
[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a fabric with a metallic luster, employing the following technical solution:
[0007] A metallic luster fabric, woven from warp and weft yarns, is characterized in that the raw materials of the weft yarns include modified polyester fiber and microfiber polyester fiber; and the raw materials of the warp yarns include modified polyester fiber and modified cotton fiber.
[0008] The modified polyester fiber, by weight, comprises 70-80 parts PET chips, 3-5 parts metal oxide-coated mica powder, 8-12 parts phosphonic acid-modified hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester, 2-4 parts polyether softener, and 0.3-0.6 parts silane coupling agent.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the inventors discovered that by using mica powder coated with metal oxide as a gloss filler, a stable chemical bond is formed through the chelating effect of phosphonic acid groups in the phosphonic acid-modified end-hydroxyl hyperbranched polyester. This bond acts as a bridge to form a stable connection between the inorganic gloss filler and the organic PET matrix, significantly enhancing the dispersion stability of the gloss filler in the PET matrix. This effectively reduces the problems of uneven fiber gloss and poor color durability caused by uneven metal fiber blending or phase separation leading to the peeling of the gloss filler coating in traditional processes. The silane coupling agent further improves the interfacial compatibility between the inorganic gloss raw material and the organic PET matrix, reducing the agglomeration problem of the inorganic filler. At the same time, it helps to reduce the peeling of the gloss filler caused by washing or friction, further improving the uniform metallic gloss effect of the modified polyester fiber.
[0010] This application uses polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol as polyether-based softeners, which have good compatibility with the modified PET matrix raw materials, do not cause fiber surface exudation problems, and will not volatilize or decompose during subsequent high-temperature processing. While ensuring the strength of the modified polyester fibers, it significantly reduces the impact of inorganic gloss fillers on the rigidity of the modified polyester fibers. Blending ultrafine denier polyester fibers or modified cotton fibers with the modified polyester fibers of this application as warp and weft yarns respectively, synergistically enhances the air permeability of the fabric and effectively reduces the impact of traditional coating processes on the air permeability of the fabric.
[0011] Optionally, the mass ratio of modified polyester fiber to ultrafine denier polyester fiber in the weft yarn is 1:(0.2-0.4); the mass ratio of modified polyester fiber to modified cotton fiber in the warp yarn is 1:(1.2-1.8).
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the proportion of modified polyester fiber in the weft is relatively high, which ensures the metallic luster of the fabric. A small amount of ultra-fine denier polyester fiber can enhance the softness and fineness of the fabric, and further fill the gaps between fibers, thereby improving the uniformity of luster reflection and avoiding a mottled appearance.
[0013] The proportion of modified polyester fiber in the warp yarns was reduced, while the content of modified cotton fiber was increased. The excellent breathability and softness of cotton fiber effectively improved the softness and breathability of the fabric. Furthermore, by controlling the content of modified polyester fiber in the weft and warp yarns, the amount of inorganic gloss filler added was controlled. The resulting fabric has a directional gloss feel, and the gloss is concentrated and uniform, giving the fabric a better aesthetic appeal.
[0014] Optionally, the softener is a polyether-based softener, selected from either polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol.
[0015] Optionally, the preparation method of the phosphonic acid-modified hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester includes the following steps:
[0016] Hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester is dissolved in an organic solvent, vinylphosphonic acid is added, and the mass of vinylphosphonic acid is 8-12 wt% of the hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester. 0.5-0.7 wt% alkaline catalyst is added dropwise, and the reaction is stirred at 50-60°C for 6-8 hours under an inert gas atmosphere. After cooling and neutralization, the organic solvent is removed by rotary evaporation, and the product is purified by precipitation with methanol and dried to obtain the final product.
[0017] Optionally, the alkaline catalyst is 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, under alkaline conditions, the hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester undergoes a Michael addition reaction with vinylphosphonic acid. The hydroxyl groups in the hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester undergo a nucleophilic reaction with the unsaturated double bonds in vinylphosphonic acid, introducing phosphonic acid groups and metal chelating sites into the hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester. At the same time, the hyperbranching degree of the hyperbranched polyester can be improved by physically wrapping the mica powder with metal oxide. Under the dual effects of chelation and wrapping, the uniform dispersion of inorganic gloss filler in PET matrix is significantly improved, and the interfacial bonding force between inorganic gloss filler and PET matrix is enhanced.
[0019] Furthermore, by embedding the three-dimensional structure of end-hydroxyl hyperbranched polyester into the PET molecular chain, the free volume is significantly expanded, the coefficient of friction between molecular chains is reduced, and the crystallinity of the PET molecular chain is weakened, making the modified polyester fiber more prone to deformation under stress and softer to the touch.
[0020] Optionally, the method for preparing the modified cotton fiber includes the following steps:
[0021] S1: Pretreated cotton fibers are obtained by plasma treatment of cotton fibers.
[0022] S2: The pretreated cotton fibers are added to a supercritical carbon dioxide fluid containing a compound enzyme at a volume ratio of 1:(9-12) for cold stacking. After depressurization to atmospheric pressure, the fibers are washed and dried to obtain enzyme-treated cotton fibers.
[0023] Optionally, in step S1, the plasma treatment is performed at a power of 80-100W for a processing time of 1-2 minutes, and the gas atmosphere is oxygen.
[0024] Optionally, the complex enzyme is selected from at least two combinations of cellulase, pectinase, protease and laccase.
[0025] Optionally, the conditions for cold-packing pretreated cotton fibers with supercritical carbon dioxide fluid are 50-60℃, fluid pressure 10-12MPa, duration 2-3h, and concentration of compound enzyme 4-6g / L.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the plasma etching effect weakens the wax layer on the fiber surface, forming an uneven rough structure at the nanoscale, which increases the specific surface area of the fiber, opens the fiber channels, and enhances the penetration efficiency of subsequent enzymes. Furthermore, through plasma treatment in an oxygen atmosphere, polar groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups are introduced into the cotton fiber, which further enhances the moisture absorption of the fabric, allowing the fabric to maintain the porosity between fibers after absorbing moisture, thus enhancing the comfort of the fabric.
[0027] The method of pretreating fibers by using supercritical fluid to carry composite enzymes significantly improves enzyme permeability. The composite enzyme treatment acts as a pore-forming agent, penetrating deep into the fiber interior to form nanoscale pores. Based on plasma treatment, a multi-level pore structure is further constructed, enhancing the fiber's gas permeability.
[0028] Secondly, this application provides a method for preparing a fabric with a metallic luster, employing the following technical solution:
[0029] A method for preparing a woven fabric with a metallic luster includes the following steps:
[0030] Modified polyester fiber is obtained by melt spinning the various raw materials of modified polyester fiber according to the specified ratio.
[0031] Modified polyester fiber is blended with ultra-fine denier polyester fiber to obtain weft yarn, and modified polyester fiber is blended with modified cotton fiber to obtain warp yarn.
[0032] The weft and warp yarns are woven using a rapier loom to obtain the final product.
[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, modified polyester fibers are prepared by melt spinning and then combined with ultra-fine denier polyester fibers and modified cotton fibers to prepare weft and warp yarns, respectively. The fabric is then woven using a rapier loom. The resulting fabric has uniform and orderly interlacing of warp yarns, uniform distribution of metallic luster, and excellent chemical properties.
[0034] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0035] 1. Because this application uses a melt blending spinning process to introduce metal oxide-coated mica powder as a luster raw material into polyester fiber to prepare modified polyester fiber, and uses a high proportion of modified polyester fiber to blend with ultrafine denier polyester fiber to prepare weft yarn, and a lower proportion of modified polyester fiber to blend with modified cotton fiber to prepare warp yarn, the problem of reduced fabric softness and breathability caused by the addition of inorganic luster filler is significantly reduced. At the same time, the uniformity of fabric luster reflection is improved, preventing the appearance of mottled appearance. The fabric has a uniform metallic luster, giving the fabric a better aesthetic effect.
[0036] 2. In this application, phosphonic acid groups are introduced into the hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester, and metal chelating sites are introduced into the modified polyester fiber. At the same time, the hyperbranching degree of the hyperbranched polyester is improved by physically winding the metal oxide to coat the mica powder. Under the dual effects of chelation and winding, the uniformity of inorganic gloss filler in the PET matrix and its compatibility with the PET matrix are significantly improved, ensuring the uniformity of the metallic gloss of the fabric.
[0037] 3. This application prepares modified cotton fibers by combining plasma treatment and supercritical fluid-carried complex enzyme hydrolysis. The plasma first opens the cotton fiber channels, enhancing the penetration efficiency of the subsequent enzyme agent. A small amount of enzyme agent can construct a multi-level pore structure in the cotton fiber, significantly enhancing the gas permeability of the fiber. Detailed Implementation

This metallic luster displays a sense of layering and possesses excellent aesthetic effects. Compared to traditional processes, the metallic luster fabric of this application significantly improves the softness and breathability of the fabric, enhancing its luster while ensuring excellent breathability, moisture wicking, and softness, resulting in greater comfort.
[0144] The performance test results of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2 show that the addition of phosphonic acid-modified hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester makes the distribution of inorganic gloss filler in the PET matrix more uniform, significantly improving the uniformity of metallic gloss in the fabric with added inorganic gloss filler. This is because the introduction of phosphonic acid groups into the hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester introduces metal chelating sites. Simultaneously, the hyperbranching degree of the hyperbranched polyester can be enhanced by physically winding titanium dioxide to coat mica powder, significantly improving the uniform dispersion of inorganic gloss filler in the PET matrix under the dual effects of chelation and winding, while also strengthening the interfacial bonding force between the inorganic gloss filler and the PET matrix. Furthermore, the three-dimensional structure of the hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester embedded in the PET molecular chain can significantly expand the free volume, reduce the coefficient of friction between molecular chains, and weaken the crystallinity of the PET molecular chain, making the modified polyester fiber more easily deformed under stress and resulting in a softer feel.
[0145] Although hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polyester was added in Comparative Example 2, phosphonic acid groups were not introduced. In this case, the dispersion effect on inorganic gloss fillers was not obvious, and the phenomenon of metal filler agglomeration was prone to occur, resulting in uneven metallic gloss, a mottled appearance, poor aesthetic effect, and a decrease in softness.
[0146] In Comparative Example 3, no softener was added to the modified polyester fiber, resulting in a decrease in softness. This indicates that the application uses polyethylene glycol and polypropylene glycol as polyether-based softeners, which have good compatibility with the modified PET matrix raw materials. Flexible long chains are introduced into the modified polyester fiber, further reducing the impact of inorganic gloss fillers on the rigidity of the modified polyester fiber while ensuring its performance.
[0147] Based on the performance test results of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 4-5, it can be seen that the modified cotton fiber prepared by this application through a combination of plasma treatment and supercritical fluid-carried complex enzyme hydrolysis has better air permeability and moisture wicking properties compared with unmodified cotton fiber. It can significantly improve the influence of inorganic luster filler on the softness of the fabric, and at the same time significantly improve the air permeability and moisture wicking properties of the fabric. This is because the plasma first opens the cotton fiber channel, enhances the penetration efficiency of the subsequent enzyme agent, and a small amount of enzyme agent can construct a multi-level pore structure in the cotton fiber, which significantly enhances the gas permeability of the fiber.
[0148] In Comparative Example 5, without the addition of modified cotton fiber, not only were the breathability, moisture wicking, and softness adversely affected, but the fabric, with only modified polyester fiber as the main component, lacked obvious luster and layering characteristics, resulting in a significant decrease in aesthetic appeal.
[0149] In Example 8, the cotton fibers were not pretreated with plasma in an oxygen atmosphere. As can be seen, the breathability and moisture-wicking performance of the final fabric was significantly reduced. This is because plasma treatment in an oxygen atmosphere can introduce polar groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups into the cotton fibers, enhancing the fabric's hygroscopicity and its ability to maintain inter-fiber pores after moisture absorption, thereby improving the fabric's breathability and moisture-wicking performance. On the other hand, after plasma pretreatment, the etching effect of plasma treatment weakens the waxy layer on the fiber surface, forming an uneven and rough structure at the nanoscale, which increases the specific surface area of the fiber, opens the fiber channels, enhances the penetration efficiency of subsequent enzymes, and enhances the penetration of complex enzymes into the fiber interior during subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis, forming nanoscale pores inside the fiber. Based on plasma treatment, a multi-level pore structure is further constructed, enhancing the breathability of the fabric prepared from the modified cotton fibers.
[0150] In Example 9, only the cotton fibers were subjected to plasma treatment in an oxygen atmosphere. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the compound enzyme was not carried out in supercritical carbon dioxide fluid. The enzymatic hydrolysis of the compound enzyme acted as a pore-forming agent. Although plasma treatment can enhance the surface roughness of cotton fibers, it cannot build a multi-level pore structure inside the cotton fibers. Therefore, the breathability and moisture-wicking performance of the fabric is significantly reduced.
