The application provides a grafted
modified starch, a preparation method thereof and a low-temperature
sizing application. The
acid hydrolysis starch is used as a
raw material, the
acid hydrolysis starch has a lower molecular weight, a relatively less
hydrogen bond structure in the molecule, a relatively increased
porosity of the
system, and small molecules are more easily entered into the interior of the
starch; the
acid hydrolysis starch is modified by using
acrylic acid and
vinyl acetate, so that the grafted starch has more carboxyl and hydroxyl groups on the molecular structure, the hydrophilicity of the
modified starch can be further increased, the starch can be low-temperature gelatinized, the purpose of low-temperature
sizing is achieved; then the carboxyl-hydroxyl starch is esterified, and ester groups are introduced, so as to adjust the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the
modified starch, the introduction of the hydrophobic groups can reduce the
viscosity of the
sizing material and improve the fluidity of the sizing material, meanwhile, the introduction of the specific ester groups can also increase the affinity of the gelatinized sizing material to fibers, improve the applicability to various
textile fabrics, and solve the problems that the adhesion of the original starch sizing material to the
yarn is not strong, and the sizing film is hard and brittle.
