Polyurethane elastic fiber has extraordinary stretching and recovery ability, and has the characteristics of high elasticity, low modulus, high hydrolysis resistance, etc., and is widely used in the clothing and textile industry. At present, there are many preparation methods of polyurethane elastic fiber on the market, for example, in the authorized announcement CN112410930B, a polyurethane elastic fiber with excellent dyeing performance and its preparation method are disclosed, the polyurethane elastic fiber comprises polyurethane and / or polyurethane urea and modified nylon resin, wherein the modified nylon resin accounts for 0.1-30% of the mass percentage of the polyurethane elastic fiber composite material; the polyurethane and / or polyurethane urea is obtained by reacting oligomer diol, diisocyanate and chain extender.

[0003] CN113774522B discloses a kind of high elongation high strength polyurethane elastic fiber and its preparation method, polyurethane prepolymer is obtained by reacting polyether diol, polyether ester diol and diisocyanate, then dissolved in polar solvent, chain extender and chain terminator are added to prepare polyurethane urea stock solution A; polyurethane prepolymer is obtained by reacting polyester diol, polyether ester diol and diisocyanate, then dissolved in polar solvent, chain extender and chain terminator are added to prepare polyurethane urea stock solution B; polyurethane urea stock solution A is used as skin layer material, polyurethane urea stock solution B is used as core layer material, through spinneret combination, a fiber with skin-core structure is prepared; the fiber with skin-core structure volatilizes polar solvent through high temperature duct, and is coated with oil agent, to obtain high elongation high strength polyurethane elastic fiber. By introducing aromatic polyester diol, the strength is improved, and by introducing high molecular weight polyether ester diol, the elongation at break is improved.

[0004] CN117127276A discloses a kind of bio-based spandex elastic fiber and its preparation method, bio-based spandex is introduced into spandex molecular chain by bio-based polyether polyol, wherein bio-based polyether polyol contains bio-based 1,3-propanediol unit structure. The bio-based spandex is reacted with polyurethane prepolymer containing bio-based and mixed amine to obtain a raw material containing polyurethane-urea polymer, and bio-based spandex elastic fiber is obtained by dry spinning.

[0005] Although there are many studies on the performance improvement of polyurethane elastic fiber at present, there are few reports on the preparation of bio-based polyurethane elastic fiber using green and environmentally friendly renewable raw materials. Biodegradable materials with environmental friendly characteristics have attracted great attention, and as traditional industry, spandex must accelerate the transformation and upgrading of green new technology and industry. Green and low-carbon bio-based spandex will be the trend of future spandex development. Polyol and isocyanate are two raw materials for synthesizing polyurethane, which are currently mainly derived from petroleum resources. With the depletion of petroleum resources and the aggravation of environmental problems, the preparation of polyurethane from green and renewable biomass resources has become one of the important directions of the development of China's strategic emerging material industry and biomass industry. Compared with petroleum-based polyurethane raw materials, bio-based polyurethane raw materials are less toxic, more abundant in source, lower in price, and more diverse in structure, which is conducive to the expansion of industrial production scale and the reduction of production cost, and can effectively improve the comprehensive performance of polyurethane materials. However, the use of biomass raw materials to prepare elastic fiber may have the problems of insufficient reaction or instability due to the performance difference between bio-based raw materials and petrochemical-based materials, or the performance of the prepared elastic fiber may be reduced and difficult to meet the use requirements, or the cost is high.
