Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fabric preparation technology, specifically to a moisture-wicking and breathable fabric and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In high-end sportswear, intimate apparel, baby products, and outdoor gear, the overall comfort of fabrics is a key factor determining the user experience. Balancing and improving the three core properties of moisture absorption, breathability, and softness has always been a focus of industry technological research. Traditional fabrics often struggle to achieve ideal results in all three aspects simultaneously. Regarding moisture absorption, ordinary cotton fabrics absorb moisture but dry slowly, easily causing a damp, cold, and sticky feeling, while some synthetic fibers have weak moisture absorption, making it difficult to effectively wick sweat away from the skin. In terms of breathability, while tight weaves or functional coatings can enhance wind and water resistance, they often sacrifice airflow, leading to stuffiness and heat buildup. Even more prominent is the issue of softness. Many functional fabrics, in order to achieve durability or special protective effects, use relatively stiff fibers or weaving processes, or become stiff and rigid after repeated washing, resulting in a rough feel, lack of elasticity, and a tendency to cause friction and restriction when worn close to the skin, affecting flexibility and comfort during extended activities. Therefore, developing a new fabric technology that can synergistically optimize moisture absorption efficiency, air circulation, and skin-friendly feel is of great practical significance for meeting the market demand for products that combine high performance and high comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0009] Furthermore, in step S2, the ratio of hydrophilic finishing agent to deionized water is 5g:80mL, and the basis weight of the moisture-wicking and breathable fabric is 100-110g / m². 2 .
[0010] Furthermore, the hydrophilic finishing agent is prepared by the following steps:

[0015] Furthermore, the relative molecular mass of the terminal hydrogen silicone oil mentioned in step A2 is 208.4, and the ratio of the amount of terminal hydrogen silicone oil, chloroplatinic acid, isopropanol, allyl glycidyl ether and glacial acetic acid is 1 mmol: 40 μg: 5-10 mL: 1.2 mmol: 2-3 mL.
[0016] Furthermore, the molar ratio of the amino-terminated copolymer and the epoxy-terminated silicone oil in step A3 is 1:1.2, the molar concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution is 2 mol / L, the amount of sodium hydroxide solution used is 3-5% of the mass of the amino-terminated copolymer, and the ratio of the amount of pretreated polymer, tetrahydrofuran, anhydrous potassium carbonate and ethyl bromoacetate is 1 mmol: 5-7 mL: 2 mg: 2.5 mmol.
[0017] Furthermore, the modified polymer is prepared by the following steps:
[0018] Step B1: Mix 2-morpholinoethanol, N,N-dimethylformamide and sodium hydride evenly, stir for 30-50 min at a speed of 110-130 r / min and a temperature of 0-5℃, add 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, heat to 40-50℃ and react for 5-6 h to obtain intermediate 1. Mix intermediate 1, sodium chloroacetate and tetrahydrofuran evenly, and react for 3-5 h at a speed of 100-120 r / min, a temperature of 60-80℃ and a pH of 8-9 to obtain intermediate 2.
[0019] Step B2: Mix intermediate 2, wet palladium on carbon, methanol and deionized water evenly, and react for 20-24 hours at a speed of 100-110 r / min, a temperature of 20-30℃ and hydrogen gas to obtain intermediate 3.
[0020] Step B3: Mix isophorone diisocyanate and N,N-dimethylformamide evenly, and stir at 120-150 r / min and 60-70℃, while adding intermediates 3,2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid and dibutyltin dilaurate. React for 2-4 h, then stir and add polyethylene glycol and triethanolamine, adjust the pH to 7, and react for 6-10 h to obtain the modified polymer.
[0021] Furthermore, in step B1, the ratio of 2-morpholinoethanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, sodium hydride, and 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene is 1 mmol:5 mL:1.1 mmol:1 mmol, and the ratio of intermediate 1 to sodium chloroacetate is 1 mmol:1.1 mmol.
[0022] Furthermore, the ratio of intermediate 2, wet palladium on carbon, methanol and deionized water in step B2 is 11 mmol: 800 mg: 15 mL: 60 mL, and the effective substance content of wet palladium on carbon is 10%.
[0023] Furthermore, the ratio of isophorone diisocyanate, N,N-dimethylformamide, intermediate 3,2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid, dibutyltin dilaurate, polyethylene glycol, and triethanolamine in step B3 is 1 mmol: 8-10 mL: 0.6 mmol: 0.2 mmol: 0.12-0.2 mg: 0.35 mmol: 3-5 mL.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: A spinning solution prepared by uniformly mixing a modified polymer and N,N-dimethylformamide is dry-spun using a Y-shaped spinneret to obtain shaped fibers. These fibers are then subjected to a hydroentangling process to produce a pre-treated fabric. The pre-treated fabric is then impregnated in a mixed solution of a hydrophilic finishing agent and deionized oil. The hydrophilic finishing agent molecules adsorb onto the pre-treated fabric through hydrogen bonding, resulting in a moisture-wicking and breathable fabric.
[0025] Hydrophilic finishing agent: The terminal hydroxyl groups of polyethylene glycol react with thionyl chloride, a chlorinating agent, to electrophilically attack the hydroxyl oxygen atom, yielding chlorinated polyethylene glycol. The hydroxyl groups on triethanolamine monostearate form oxygen anions in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate, which nucleophilically attack the terminal chlorine atoms of chlorinated polyethylene glycol, forming ether bonds, thus yielding a polyether copolymer. Chloroplatinic acid is reduced in isopropanol to form a highly reactive zero-valent platinum complex, promoting the reaction between the carbon-carbon double bonds on allyl alcohol glycidyl ether and the silicon-hydrogen bonds on the terminal hydrogen silicone oil, yielding epoxy-terminated silicone oil. The amino groups on the amino-terminated copolymer and the epoxy groups on the epoxy-terminated silicone oil undergo a ring-opening reaction under alkaline conditions to obtain a pretreated polymer. Ethyl bromoacetate is added as an alkylating agent to convert the tertiary amines on the pretreated polymer into ester quaternary ammonium salt structures, yielding a hydrophilic finishing agent.
[0026] Modified polymer: The hydroxyl groups on 2-morpholine ethanol are deionized by sodium hydride to form negative oxygen ions. These negative oxygen ions act as nucleophiles, attacking the chlorine atoms on 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene to obtain intermediate 1. Under a weakly alkaline environment, the tertiary amine group on intermediate 1 undergoes a substitution reaction with sodium chloroacetate to generate a quaternary ammonium salt structure, yielding intermediate 2. In the presence of wet palladium on carbon catalyst, hydrogen acts as a reducing agent, reducing the nitro group on intermediate 2 to an amino group, yielding intermediate 3. Under the catalysis of dibutyltin dilaurate, excess isophorone diisocyanate first reacts with intermediate 3 and 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid to generate urea and urethane groups, which then react with polyethylene glycol to obtain the modified polymer.
[0027] The ether bonds in the polyethylene glycol and polyether segments of the hydrophilic finishing agent molecular chain are strongly polar groups that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, thereby attracting and locking in moisture. When these hydrophilic segments are introduced into the fabric, they form a hydrophilic network on or within the fiber surface, quickly adsorbing and diffusing sweat, thus giving the fabric moisture-wicking properties. The silicone oil blocks on the hydrophilic finishing agent molecular chain mainly rely on their low surface tension flexible siloxane long chains to form a smooth lubricating film on the fiber surface, directly reducing friction between fibers. At the same time, the stearate quaternary ammonium salt in the hydrophilic finishing agent molecule contains hydrophobic aliphatic long chains, which are arranged outward to cover the fibers, thus producing a soft and smooth feel. Both effectively reduce the static and dynamic coefficients of friction between fibers, thereby improving the softness of the fabric. The modified polymer contains zwitterionic monomer structures, which can generate extremely strong ion-dipole interactions with water molecules, thus exhibiting excellent hydrophilicity. The unique cross-sectional structure of Y-shaped fibers significantly increases the fiber's specific surface area and surface grooves, enabling rapid adsorption and diffusion of moisture through capillary action. Combined with the high-pressure water entanglement of the hydroentangling process, a stable, fluffy, and three-dimensionally microporous nonwoven fabric structure can be formed without damaging the fibers, thus synergistically endowing the fabric with excellent moisture absorption and wicking capabilities and good breathability.

[0091] The moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were tested for air permeability according to GB / T5453-1997 "Textiles - Determination of Air Permeability of Fabrics". The test results are shown in Table 1. The test area was 20 cm². 2 The pressure difference was 100 Pa, and the test was performed 3 times, with the average value taken.
[0092] The moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were tested for stiffness and flexibility according to GB / T18318.1-2009 "Determination of bending properties of textiles - Part 1: Inclined plane method". The test results are shown in Table 1. The test procedure used the inclined plane cantilever method. A strip sample of 250mm × 25mm was cut and a TG022D fully automatic fabric stiffness tester was used. The extension speed was set to 4mm / min. The bending stiffness was calculated based on the recorded extension length and bending length of the sample.
[0093] The moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were tested for water absorption rate according to GB / T21655.1-2023 "Evaluation of Moisture Absorption and Quick-Drying Properties Part 1: Unidirectional Combined Test Method". The test results are shown in Table 1. During the test, three flat, wrinkle-free samples of the same size (10cm × 10cm) were cut from each material. The samples were placed in standard atmospheric conditions to achieve humidification, and the initial mass of each sample was recorded as M0. The samples were then immersed in deionized water for 5 minutes. Afterward, the samples were removed and laid out vertically under natural conditions, allowing the water to drip naturally. The sample was considered to have stopped dripping when the time interval between two drops was not less than 30 seconds. Immediately after the sample stopped dripping, its mass was weighed and recorded as M. The water absorption rate of each sample was calculated using the formula (M - M0) / M0 × 100%.
