Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of polymer materials technology, specifically to a superabsorbent nonwoven material based on hot air assisted spinning and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Superabsorbent nonwoven materials are advanced functional materials formed by the self-bonding and reinforcement of superabsorbent fibers. Compared with traditional absorbent materials (such as cotton, wool, and sponges), they exhibit significant advantages in terms of absorption rate, absorption capacity, water retention, and applicability, and have therefore been widely used in the medical, hygiene, and agricultural and forestry fields in Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea. However, when this material is used in hygiene products, the warm, humid, and organic-rich microenvironment created during use provides ideal conditions for the rapid proliferation of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. The proliferation of microorganisms can not only irritate the skin and increase the risk of infection, but their metabolic processes can also produce unpleasant odors, seriously affecting the user experience and personal hygiene. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance the antibacterial properties of these superabsorbent materials. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a superabsorbent nonwoven material based on hot air assisted spinning and its preparation method, so as to solve the problem of insufficient antibacterial ability of conventional absorbent materials.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: In a first aspect, a method for preparing a superabsorbent nonwoven material based on hot air-assisted spinning includes the following steps: S1. Preparation of antibacterial monomers; S11. Imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, methacrylamide, and p-hydroxyanisole were added to DMF, cooled to a constant temperature in an ice-water bath, and stirred until homogeneous. Then, EDC·HCl, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, and triethylamine were added and dispersed until homogeneous. The temperature was raised to 25-30°C, and the reaction was stirred for 6-8 hours. Deionized water was added to the reaction system to terminate the reaction, and the mixture was filtered. The filter cake was collected, washed with deionized water, and dried to obtain the imidazole intermediate. S12. Disperse the imidazole intermediate and p-hydroxyanisole in DMF, mix well, add EDC·HCl and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, mix well, cool to constant temperature in an ice-water bath, add ethylenediamine dropwise, after the addition is complete, raise the temperature to 25~35℃, stir the reaction for 8~12h, add deionized water to the reaction system again to terminate the reaction and filter, collect the filter cake, wash with deionized water, dry, and obtain aminoimidazolium intermediate; S13. The aminoimidazole intermediate and p-hydroxyanisole were dispersed in an ethanol aqueous solution and stirred until homogeneous. Sodium hydroxide solution was added dropwise to adjust the pH of the reaction system to 9-9.5. O-methylisourea sulfate was then added, and the temperature was raised to 40-45℃. The reaction was carried out in the dark for 8-12 hours. Heating was then stopped, and hydrochloric acid was added dropwise to adjust the pH of the reaction system to neutral. The mixture was then filtered, washed, and dried to obtain the antibacterial monomer. S2. Under ice-water bath conditions, acrylic acid was added to sodium hydroxide solution for neutralization reaction, and then antibacterial monomer and acrylamide were added and mixed evenly to obtain a superabsorbent monomer solution. S3. Under nitrogen atmosphere protection, the polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution and the superabsorbent monomer solution are mixed, heated to 40~50℃, stirred evenly, and then the initiator is added. The temperature is raised again to 65~75℃, and the reaction is stirred for 1~2 hours. The temperature is raised again to 80~85℃, and the reaction is stirred for 30~35 minutes. The heating is stopped, and after the reaction system is cooled to 55~65℃, the aldehyde crosslinking agent is added. After mixing evenly, the mixture is cooled to room temperature to obtain the superabsorbent polymer spinning solution. S4. The superabsorbent polymer spinning solution is loaded into a syringe, the syringe is connected to a multi-hole spinneret and placed in a micro pump, hot air-assisted air-jet spinning is performed, and the resulting material is placed in a vacuum environment for thermal cross-linking to obtain a superabsorbent nonwoven material.
[0005] Further, in step S11, the amounts of each component added, by weight, are 1 part imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid, 0.55~0.59 parts methacrylamide, 0.005~0.008 parts p-hydroxyanisole, 25~35 parts DMF, 1.4~1.6 parts EDC·HCl, 0.9~1.1 parts 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and 0.8~1 parts triethylamine.
[0006] Further, in step S12, the amounts of each component added, by weight, are 1 part imidazole intermediate, 0.004~0.005 parts p-hydroxyanisole, 20~25 parts DMF, 1.05~1.15 parts EDC·HCl, 0.75~0.8 parts 1-hydroxybenzotriazole and 0.26~0.28 parts ethylenediamine.

The ethanol-water solution is a mixture of deionized water and anhydrous ethanol in a volume ratio of 1:1.
[0008] Further, in step S2, the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 15-20 wt%, and the neutralization reaction time is 10-20 min; by weight, the amount of each component added is 2-3 parts acrylic acid, 1 part sodium hydroxide, 0.3-0.8 parts antibacterial monomer, and 0.8-1 part acrylamide.
[0009] Furthermore, in step S3, the amount of each component added, by weight, is 1-2 parts of polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution, 1 part of superabsorbent monomer solution, 0.002-0.005 parts of initiator, and 0.01-0.02 parts of aldehyde crosslinking agent; In the polyvinyl alcohol aqueous solution, the degree of polymerization of polyvinyl alcohol is 2000-3000, and the degree of alcoholysis is 80-98%. The initiator is either potassium persulfate or ammonium persulfate; the aldehyde crosslinking agent is either glyoxal, malondialdehyde, succinaldehyde, or glutaraldehyde.
[0010] Furthermore, in step S4, during hot air-assisted air-jet spinning, the single-hole advance rate of air-jet spinning is 2~8 ml / h, the air pressure range is 0.1~0.3 MPa, and the temperature of the hot air-assisted airflow is 100~120℃.
[0011] Furthermore, in step S4, the thermal crosslinking temperature is 115~120℃, and the thermal crosslinking time is 25~35min.
[0012] Furthermore, in step S4, the fiber diameter distribution of the superabsorbent nonwoven material is 0.5~5μm.
[0013] Secondly, the present invention also provides a superabsorbent nonwoven material, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: The superabsorbent nonwoven material prepared by this invention has internal fibers at the micro-nano scale, and the diameter distribution and morphology of the fibers can be precisely controlled. The material has high porosity, and the internal fibers have a three-dimensional coiled structure, which can accelerate the penetration and diffusion of liquid inside the material and the transport rate between fibers, effectively improving the overall liquid absorption rate, optimizing the internal liquid lock-in performance, and combining high liquid absorption ratio with a wider range of applicable scenarios.
[0015] This invention relies on the precise control of parameters such as hot air-assisted airflow temperature, airflow pressure, and spinning feed rate to achieve precise control over fiber morphology and material bulkiness. Addressing the problems of low areal density, insufficient structural bulkiness, and limited production efficiency in traditional electrospun products, this process enables the large-scale production of high areal density, high bulkiness, and superabsorbent nonwoven materials, while also possessing the technical advantages of low energy consumption and simple equipment structure.
[0016] Furthermore, based on this, the present invention adds antibacterial monomer materials to provide the product with excellent antibacterial properties. The present invention first uses imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid to react with methacrylamide to synthesize an imidazole intermediate containing a double bond and an imidazole ring structure. Then, it is mixed with ethylenediamine to introduce an amino group, and then reacted with O-methylisourea sulfate to guanidinate, thereby preparing an antibacterial monomer with a guanidino group and an imidazole group structure. The double bond can participate in the polymerization process of monomers such as acrylamide, thereby participating in the polymerization and spinning of superabsorbent nonwoven materials, and finally achieving the improvement of the antibacterial properties of the material.
