Description

WOOL CORTEX CELL /PVA COMPOSITE POROUS MATERIAL AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a wool cortex cell/PVA composite porous material and a
preparation method thereof, and belongs to the field of functional materials.
Background
In recent years, people pay more and more attention to environmental protection, and the
shortage of resources is a problem to be urgently solved by people. Therefore, the pursuit of new
environmentally friendly materials has gradually become a new trend. The use of degradable and
renewable natural polymer materials to prepare green environmental protection materials is
gradually becoming a new research direction. About 100,000 tons of wool are discarded in China
every year, which not only wastes resources, but also causes environmental pollution. Wool cortex
cells adhere to each other to form a cortex which is an important part of wool fiber. The cellular
protein contains a large number of hydrophilic groups such as carboxyl and amino, which are
cross-linked by a large number of disulfide bonds. Extraction of cortex cells from wool fiber by
using waste goat hair as raw material is not only the recycling of waste, but also gives full play to
the better performance of the wool fiber than other man-made fibers, which conforms with the new
concept of environmental protection and energy saving advocated today.
There are generally two ideas for the recycling of the waste wool. One is a physical recycling
mode that can be used for textiles through cleaning, opening, screening and textile processing. The
other is a physicochemical mode which washes and smashes the wool firstly, then extracts keratin
by a chemical biological reagent dissolution method, mixes with other materials with excellent
performance to obtain a spinning solution, and conducts recycled spinning and textile processing to
form textiles. Literature (Li Changwei and Lv Lihua. Preparation and properties of waste wool
sound absorption composite [J]. Journal of Textile Research, 2018, 39(10): 74-80.) uses the waste
wool as reinforcement material and uses EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer) as a matrix
material to prepare the sound absorption composite by a hot pressing method. The method not only
solves the problem of recycling waste wool, but also develops high-quality materials with high
sound absorption coefficient and high bandwidth, which conforms with the green industrialization
concept of sustainable development in China. However, the waste wool is only mixed with EVA, which does not really utilize the active ingredients.
The key to separate the cortex cells is to destroy the adhesion between the cortex cell
membrane and the intercellular substance. At present, the separation methods mainly include the
physical mechanical methods and the chemical dissolution methods. The physical mechanical
methods include the hot pressing method (which is difficult to grasp the degree of damage to the
intermolecular disulfide bonds of keratin, is extremely low in separation efficiency, and even
destroys the structure of the cortex cells, and thus is difficult to put into industrial application) and a
flash explosion separation method (which is uncertain to the damage to the internal structure of
wool, and is difficult to obtain pure cortex cells). The chemical dissolution methods include the
reduction method (which has instability to the cleavage of disulfide bonds and low decomposition
efficiency of the cortex cells), the biological enzymatic method (which has mild effect and high
efficiency and is in line with the current concept of green environmental protection, but has low
extraction rate) and the acid alkaline method (which is not easy to control the degree of damage to
keratin by acid-base reagents, may further damage the cortex cells, and easily pollutes the
environment, and thus is not in line with the current concept of green environmental protection).
At present, literature discloses the preparation of porous materials by compounding wool and
other substances, but the internal porosity of the material will have a great impact on the strength of
the materials. Therefore, such materials often do not have low strength, or are not reported,
especially no impact strength is reported, thereby limiting the application range. Therefore, it is of
great significance to prepare strong porous materials.
In engineering, a noise reduction coefficient NRC is generally used to roughly measure the
ability of a sample to absorb sound in a speech frequency range. This value is the arithmetic mean
of the sound absorption coefficient of the material measured at 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz and 2000
Hz. The frequencies usually used for sound absorption materials are 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 Hz.
Generally, materials whose average absorption coefficient for the above frequencies is greater than
0.2 are called sound absorption materials. Porous sound absorption materials have many tiny gaps
and continuous air bubbles, and thus have certain air permeability. When a sound wave is incident
on the surface of a porous material, two mechanisms mainly cause the attenuation of the sound
wave: Firstly, the vibration generated by the sound wave causes the air movement in the small hole
or the gap, causing friction with the hole wall. The air close to the hole wall and the fiber surface is
not easy to move due to the influence of the hole wall. Due to the effects of friction and viscous forces, a considerable part of the sound energy is converted into heat energy, so that the sound wave is attenuated and the reflected sound is weakened to achieve the purpose of sound absorption.
Secondly, the heat loss caused by the heat exchange of air in the small hole as well as the hole wall
and the fiber also attenuates the sound energy. In addition, high-frequency sound waves can
accelerate the vibration speed of air particles in the voids, and the heat exchange between the air
and the hole wall is also accelerated, which makes the porous material have good high-frequency
sound absorption performance, but the low-frequency sound absorption coefficient is low.
Therefore, how to prepare a sound absorption material which has good strength and excellent
thermal insulation performance, and has high sound absorption coefficient at 2000 Hz,
environmental protection and simple operation is a technical problem that needs to be solved
urgently.

Detailed Description
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below, and it should be
understood that the embodiments are used to better explain the present invention and are not
intended to limit the present invention.
Test method:
1. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) observation: the composite porous materials with
different ratios of wool cortex cells/PVA are put into a container; a certain amount of liquid nitrogen
is poured and soaked for 2 min; and heat insulation gloves are worn to take out the materials and
break them quickly. A double-sided conductive tape is adhered to an aluminum tube, and a sample
is adhered on the other side to expose the surface to be observed. A 20 nm-thick gold layer is
sputtered in dilute argon gas; the surface morphology of the material is analyzed using a HITACHI
SU1510 scanning electron microscope under the condition of a scanning voltage of 5 KV; and the
magnification is gradually increased to observe the void and cytocompatibility of the porous
materials.
2. Thermal insulation performance test: YG606 flat thermal insulation instrument is used in the
test, which is suitable for measuring the thermal insulation performance of various fabrics and
materials. The instrument is controlled by a microcomputer to process data, directly calculate the
performance of each sample, and output the test results (thermal insulation rate, thermal
conductivity and cro value). The temperature adjustment range of a heating plate of the tester is
-50°C; the setting range of preheating time is 20-99.9 min; the size of the samples is 300 mm x
300 mm; and the test is performed under the conditions of 220 V and 200 W.
During the test, the prepared sample A, which is spliced into a size of 300 mm x 300 mm, is
covered on a sample plate. The sample plate, a bottom plate and surrounding protective plates are
all controlled by the electrothermal mode to be stable. A temperature sensor is used as a medium to
report data to the microcomputer in real time to maintain a constant temperature, so that the heat of
the sample plate can only be dissipated in the direction of the sample. The heating time required for
a test plate to maintain a certain temperature within a certain period of time is determined by the computer, and the system automatically calculates the thermal insulation rate, thermal conductivity and cro value.
3. Sound absorption coefficient test: the test uses a JTZB sound absorption system test system,
that is, a standing wave tube test. Standing wave is a characteristic of acoustic wave propagation.
The principle is that the incident sinusoidal plane wave and the plane wave reflected from the
sample are superimposed under normal incidence conditions to generate the standing wave. In order
to intuitively use a unified standard to study the ability of materials to absorb sound, the concept of
the sound absorption coefficient is proposed, that is, the ratio of the sound energy absorbed by the
materials to the total sound energy incident on the materials. Specific test steps are as follows:
(1) Before the test, confirming that each part is powered off, then assembling the system, and
preparing for the test; during the test, removing a sample, cylinder, pushing a piston into an equal
distance according to the thickness of the sample, and using Vaseline or other sealing media to seal
a gap between the piston and the pipe wall; installing a test piece; preferably applying sealing oil on
the outer circumference of the test piece and pushing in the sample cylinder; tightly fitting the
sample and the piston without leaving any gap; then evenly applying the sealing oil on the end
surface of the sample cylinder; and installing and locking the sample cylinder.
(2) During the test, adjusting the power to the minimum; opening the software; adjusting a
center frequency to 200Hz; selecting serial port 6, and clicking "OK"-"Start"; moving a trolley to
the maximum value of the measured frequency (e.g.: moving from 200Hz to 200M); adjusting a
power amplifier to the maximum; adjusting left and right; recording the maximum value; moving
the trolley to the current frequency minimum value (e.g.: moving from 200Hz to 200m); adjusting
left and right; recording the minimum value; adjusting the power amplifier to the minimum;
clicking "Stop" to end the 200Hz data test; repeating the above operation; and recording the test
data of the trolley from 200Hz to 2000Hz in sequence.
(3) After the test, clicking "Calculate" to obtain the sound absorption coefficient.
4. Water absorption performance test: soaking the samples in deionized water for 24 h, taking
out the samples, and absorbing the samples with absorbent paper until the surface does not drip;
weighing and recording the mass of the sample after immersion in water with an electronic balance,
and calculating a water absorption rate, wherein the water absorption rate refers to the weight
percentage increased by soaking the substance in water for a certain time at a certain temperature.
5. Density measurement: measuring and recording the weight of the sample; wrapping the sample tightly with a plastic wrap, putting the sample into a beaker full of deionized water, recording the volume of the overflowing deionized water, which is the volume of the sample, and calculating the density of the sample, wherein the density of the sample is a ratio of the mass to the volume.
6. Measurement of impact strength: GB-T 1043.1-2008 Plastics - Determination of charpy
impact properties - Part 1: Non - instrumented impact test is used for measurement.

before turning on a pulverizer, firstly connecting a liquid nitrogen pump with a liquid nitrogen
tank; after confirming that an interface is well sealed, aligning a liquid nitrogen outflow pipe with a
wool feeding inlet of the pulverizer; after stopping scattering the wool, waiting for about half a
minute; then turning off the pulverizer and the pump that controls the inflow of liquid nitrogen;
removing a liquid nitrogen storage tank and placing in a safe place; and then taking out a clean
beaker to collect the crushed wool.
(3) Effect of L-cysteine solution and trypsin
(1) preparing 0.165 mol/L L-cysteine solution; then adding 10% (mass ratio) of trypsin into the
L-cysteine solution; adding dropwise sodium hydroxide solution to adjust pH as 8.0 to obtain a
mixed solution; putting the crushed wool into the mixed solution with a solid-liquid ratio of 1:25 to
