Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of shoe lining technology, specifically to a moisture-wicking and breathable collagen fiber-based shoe lining and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Leather is widely used in clothing, sofas, bags, and decoration. Early processing methods included grinding it into powder for animal feed and recycling it for glue extraction, eventually leading to landfill or incineration. However, due to the easy decomposition of collagen components producing odors and the difficulty of natural degradation of leather, serious environmental pollution has occurred. Existing debonding processes generally achieve a collagen fiber extraction rate of less than 15% from scraps, resulting in extremely low fiber recycling rates. The resulting base fabric has defects such as poor tear resistance, short fiber bundles, and insufficient flexibility, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-performance shoe lining leather. At the same time, with increasing environmental awareness, the drawbacks of traditional oil-based shoe lining leather are becoming increasingly apparent: its production process requires the use of large amounts of organic solvents, especially dimethylformamide, which remains adsorbed inside the leather and is slowly released during use, posing potential health risks to the skin and respiratory system. Therefore, developing an efficient recycling and green preparation process based on waste leather collagen fibers, and endowing shoe lining leather with comprehensive properties such as moisture absorption, breathability, and no harmful solvent residues, has significant environmental and industrial value. Summary of the Invention

S2: Add distilled water to pretreated cowhide, then add acetic acid to make the concentration 1.2 mol / L, and add pepsin. Stir magnetically at 36-37℃ for 70-72 h, filter the reaction solution and centrifuge at 3000 rpm at 2-4℃ for 25-30 min. Collect the supernatant and dialyze it at 4℃ to obtain a collagen solution. Pre-freeze the collagen solution for 10-12 h, then freeze-dry it for 46-48 h to obtain collagen. S3: Weigh 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylpropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide, dissolve them in 0.5 mol / L glacial acetic acid solution to prepare a crosslinking agent; add collagen to the crosslinking agent, stir and react at 2~4℃ for 10~11 h to obtain a modified spinning solution; inject the modified spinning solution into a syringe, set the spinning voltage to 14~16 kV, the spinning feed speed to 1~2 mL / h, and the receiving distance to 14~16 cm, and perform electrospinning to obtain modified collagen fibers.
[0008] Preferably, in S1, the sodium chloride solution has a mass concentration of 12%, and the degreasing agent is prepared by mixing sodium carbonate, isopropanol, and deionized water in a mass ratio of 6:8:86; in S2, the ratio of pretreated cowhide to distilled water is 1:25, and the amount of pepsin added is 1% of the mass of cowhide scraps; in S3, the mass ratio of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylpropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride to N-hydroxysuccinimide is 3:1, the mass concentration of the crosslinking agent is 15%, and the mass ratio of collagen to the crosslinking agent is 3:20.
[0009] Preferably, the dialysis working conditions described in S2 are magnetic stirring, changing the distilled water every 6 hours, and continuous dialysis for 3 days.
[0010] Preferably, the preparation steps of the modified waterborne polyurethane finishing agent are as follows: Step a: Dry mesoporous nano-silica at 115~120℃ for 40~50min, add anhydrous ethanol and stir to obtain a nanoparticle suspension, add dichlorodimethylsilane and deionized water in sequence, heat to 130℃ and reflux for 45~55min to obtain a high-concentration nano-dispersion, centrifuge and wash 2~3 times with anhydrous ethanol, dry at 95~105℃, grind to obtain modified mesoporous nano-silica; Step b: Weigh the waterborne polyurethane and dilute it with deionized water. Stir for 10-15 minutes to prepare a waterborne polyurethane emulsion. Transfer the waterborne polyurethane emulsion to a water bath, adjust the temperature to 48-52℃, and stir magnetically. Add modified mesoporous nano silica to the emulsion within 1 minute, add defoamer, and stir for 45-55 minutes.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention describes a moisture-wicking and breathable collagen fiber-based shoe lining leather and its preparation method. It utilizes 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylpropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide to activate the carboxyl groups of collagen and undergo amidation crosslinking with amino groups, generating -CO-NH- bonds. This stabilizes the three-dimensional network of collagen fibers under mild aqueous conditions without disrupting their natural conformation, thereby significantly improving the mechanical strength and moisture and heat resistance of the base fabric. Dichlorodimethylsilane reacts with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of mesoporous nano-silica to form Si-O-Si covalent bonds and is then grafted onto the surface. The hydrophobic methyl groups ensure low surface energy and uniform dispersion of nanoparticles within the waterborne polyurethane, preventing aggregation. Subsequently, modified mesoporous nano-silica is blended and cured with the waterborne polyurethane. The nanoparticles act as physical crosslinking points, enhancing the coating's abrasion resistance and forming micro-nano pores within the coating. This, in conjunction with the inherent hydrophilic groups -COOH and -NH2 of collagen fibers, enables unidirectional moisture conduction and rapid evaporation. Simultaneously, the urethane groups of the waterborne polyurethane form hydrogen bonds with the collagen fiber surface, undergoing moderate self-crosslinking after two dips, two tumblers, and high-temperature drying, further improving interfacial adhesion. Therefore, the resulting shoe lining leather possesses high moisture absorption, good breathability, a soft feel, and excellent mechanical properties. Detailed Implementation

The method for preparing a moisture-wicking and breathable collagen fiber-based shoe lining leather according to claim 1, characterized in that: The preparation steps of the modified waterborne polyurethane finishing agent are as follows: Step a: Dry mesoporous nano-silica at 115~120℃ for 40~50min, add anhydrous ethanol and stir to obtain a nanoparticle suspension, add dichlorodimethylsilane and deionized water in sequence, heat to 130℃ and reflux for 45~55min to obtain a high-concentration nano-dispersion, centrifuge and wash 2~3 times with anhydrous ethanol, dry at 95~105℃, grind to obtain modified mesoporous nano-silica; Step b: Weigh the waterborne polyurethane and dilute it with deionized water. Stir for 10-15 minutes to prepare a waterborne polyurethane emulsion. Transfer the waterborne polyurethane emulsion to a water bath, adjust the temperature to 48-52℃, and stir magnetically. Add modified mesoporous nano silica to the emulsion within 1 minute, add defoamer, and stir for 45-55 minutes. Reduce the water bath temperature to 20-23℃ and maintain stirring for 18-22 minutes to obtain the modified waterborne polyurethane finishing agent.
8. The method for preparing a moisture-wicking and breathable collagen fiber-based shoe lining leather according to claim 7, characterized in that: The mass concentration of the nanoparticle suspension in step a is 4.8%, and the amount of dichlorodimethylsilane added is 15% of the mass of the mesoporous nano silica.
