Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of textile materials technology, specifically, it relates to a temperature-regulating textile material and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] With technological advancements and improved living standards, people are increasingly demanding greater comfort and functionality from textile materials. In the military field, soldiers need to maintain combat capabilities in extreme temperature environments; in the civilian sector, consumers are also placing higher demands on the temperature-regulating comfort of clothing. Phase change temperature regulation technology, by utilizing the properties of materials to absorb or release latent heat during phase change processes, provides temperature regulation for the human body and has become a current research hotspot.
[0003] Currently, phase change temperature-regulating fibers mainly employ phase change energy storage microcapsule technology, encapsulating phase change materials within microcapsules and mixing them with spinning solution for spinning. However, existing technologies face the following pressing problems: First, the organic wall materials of traditional phase change microcapsules have poor temperature resistance, typically only ranging from 120 to 200°C, which cannot meet the processing requirements of high-performance polymers (such as aramid and polyimide). The spinning temperatures of these high-performance polymers often reach above 280°C, at which temperature traditional microcapsules decompose and fail. Second, the enthalpy of existing phase change temperature-regulating fibers is generally low, typically only 8–10 J / g, making it difficult to provide significant temperature regulation effects in practical applications. This is mainly due to the limited amount of microcapsules that can be added, as excessive microcapsules can severely affect the spinnability and mechanical properties of fibers. In addition, traditional phase change microcapsules have poor interfacial compatibility with the spinning matrix, which makes them prone to rupture during spinning and leakage of phase change materials. This not only affects the temperature regulation effect but also reduces the mechanical properties of the fibers. Finally, existing technologies are mostly limited to the preparation of single fibers and lack structural composite design with reinforcing composite materials. As a result, the final textile materials do not meet the temperature regulation requirements, and their comprehensive performance, such as mechanical strength and durability, is insufficient, making it difficult to meet the comprehensive performance requirements of special application scenarios.
[0004] Therefore, developing a method for preparing temperature-controlled textile materials that is compatible with high-temperature spinning processes, significantly improves the amount of microcapsules added and the interfacial bonding strength, and achieves effective composite with reinforcing materials has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a temperature-regulating textile material and its preparation method.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: A method for preparing a temperature-regulating textile material includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of phase change energy storage microcapsules: Mix the core material and emulsifier, and stir and emulsify at 1500-3500 r / min at 80-120℃ for 1-3 hours until the core material is completely emulsified; then add the initiator and reactant monomer, and stir and reflux at 80-120℃ for 4-6 hours to form organic wall material microcapsules; then add the oxidized inorganic wall material, and heat in a water bath at 80-100℃ for 2-4 hours to carry out the composite reaction; finally cool, filter, wash and dry to obtain inorganic / organic composite wall material phase change energy storage microcapsules; (2) Surface modification treatment of the phase change energy storage microcapsules obtained in step (1): Disperse the microcapsules in ethanol solvent, add 1-5% of silane coupling agent by mass of microcapsules, stir and react at 60-80℃ for 1-2 hours, then wash and dry to obtain surface-modified phase change energy storage microcapsules. (3) Preparation of spinning solution: The surface-modified phase change energy storage microcapsules obtained in step (2) are mixed with a high-performance polymer, and a thermal conductivity enhancer accounting for 0.5-5% of the total mass of the spinning solution is added. The mixture is then mixed with a high-speed shear dispersant to form a uniform and stable spinning solution. The mass percentage of the phase change energy storage microcapsules in the spinning solution is 5-40%. The high-performance polymer is selected from one or two of aramid and polyimide. The thermal conductivity enhancer is selected from at least one of boron nitride, carbon nanotubes, and alumina. (4) Spinning: The spinning solution is spun into temperature-regulating fibers using melt spinning or solution spinning. (5) Perform stretching heat treatment on the temperature-regulating fiber: stretch the fiber at 100~200℃ with a stretch ratio of 1.5~3.0, and then heat treat it at 150~250℃ for 10~30 minutes; (6) Composite: The temperature-regulating fiber is combined with continuous or discontinuous fiber-reinforced composite material through three-dimensional weaving, lamination or blending implantation process to form temperature-regulating textile material.
[0007] Furthermore, the phase change energy storage microcapsules have a particle size of 500~3000 nm. Controlling the particle size of the phase change energy storage microcapsules within this range helps maintain good flowability during spinning, avoids spinneret clogging, and ensures that the microcapsules have a high core material ratio and phase change enthalpy, which is beneficial for the final fiber to obtain significant temperature regulation capability.
[0008] Furthermore, the phase change energy storage microcapsules constitute 10-30% by mass in the spinning solution. This range achieves an optimal balance between ensuring significant phase change temperature regulation (high enthalpy) in the fiber and maintaining good spinnability and mechanical properties.
[0009] Furthermore, in the wall material of the phase change energy storage microcapsule, the mass ratio of inorganic wall material to organic wall material is (0.1~2):1. Controlling the mass ratio of inorganic to organic wall material within this range allows for the full utilization of the synergistic effect between the rigidity and heat resistance of inorganic materials and the toughness and sealing properties of organic materials, thereby producing composite microcapsules with high wall strength, good density, and excellent temperature resistance. Furthermore, the core material is selected from one or more of paraffin wax, soybean wax, polyethylene glycol, aliphatic hydrocarbons, fatty acids, and fatty alcohols; the organic wall material is selected from one of polyurethane, polymethyl methacrylate, phenolic resin, and polystyrene; and the inorganic wall material is selected from at least one of graphene, carbon nanotubes, and silicon carbide. By limiting the specific types of the core material, organic wall material, and inorganic wall material, the compatibility and reactivity between the components are ensured, which is beneficial for forming high-performance phase change energy storage microcapsules with stable structure and good sealing performance.
[0010] Furthermore, the phase change enthalpy of the phase change energy storage microcapsules is 150~250 J / g. This phase change enthalpy is the material basis for endowing the final textile material with high energy storage density and is the core guarantee for achieving efficient temperature regulation.
[0011] This invention also provides a temperature-regulating textile material prepared by the above method. The temperature-regulating textile material comprises temperature-regulating fibers and a continuous or discontinuous fiber-reinforced composite material. The temperature-regulating fibers contain surface-modified phase change energy storage microcapsules and a thermal conductivity enhancer. Furthermore, the temperature-regulating fibers are formed from at least one high-performance polymer, selected from one or two of aramid and polyimide. This material ultimately exhibits the characteristics of a functional textile material with high phase change enthalpy, excellent temperature resistance, good mechanical properties, and a composite structure.
[0012] Furthermore, the phase change energy storage microcapsules have a particle size of 500~3000 nm. This size facilitates the uniform distribution of microcapsules within the fiber, reduces stress concentration points, and thus minimizes the negative impact on the mechanical properties of the fiber while exerting a temperature regulation function.
[0013] Furthermore, the phase change energy storage microcapsules constitute 5-35% of the mass of the temperature-regulating fiber. This range is directly related to the temperature regulation capability of the final product, ensuring that the textile material can provide a significant phase change enthalpy of 10-60 J / g, meeting the temperature regulation range requirements in practical applications.
[0014] Furthermore, the phase transition enthalpy of the temperature-regulating textile material is 10~100 J / g. This value is significantly higher than that of common products on the market (8~10 J / g), demonstrating the significant progress of this invention in improving the temperature-regulating function of textiles, and providing the human body with more durable and effective temperature buffering and comfort protection.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: I. This invention effectively solves the bottleneck of temperature resistance and broadens the application range of materials. By constructing a composite wall material combining inorganic materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes with organic polymers, the inherent high thermal stability of inorganic components enables phase change microcapsules to withstand processing environments above 280°C. This effectively solves the problem of insufficient temperature resistance (usually below 200°C) of traditional organic wall materials, allowing microcapsules to be successfully combined with high-performance polymers such as aramid and polyimide that require high-temperature processing, thus broadening the range of matrix materials that can be selected for temperature-regulating fibers.
[0016] II. This invention employs a synergistic approach of surface modification and specific thermal conductivity enhancers to synergistically improve material compatibility and thermal management efficiency. Surface modification enhances the interfacial bonding between microcapsules and the polymer matrix through silane coupling agents, reducing the risk of microcapsule rupture at high addition levels and helping to maintain the mechanical properties of the fiber. Simultaneously, the introduction of thermally conductive agents such as boron nitride and carbon nanotubes promotes heat transfer within the fiber, contributing to improved response speed and uniformity of the phase change process, thus supporting the achievement of higher energy storage density (phase change enthalpy).
[0017] Third, this invention achieves an integrated combination of temperature regulation function and structural performance. Through composite processes such as three-dimensional weaving and lamination, temperature-regulating fibers are combined with fiber reinforcement materials. This design enables the final textile material to not only possess phase change temperature regulation function, but also integrate the advantages of mechanical strength and durability of the reinforcement materials, thereby meeting the application scenarios with comprehensive requirements for thermal comfort and mechanical performance, and enhancing the practical value of the product.
