Description

A kind of liquid crystalline polyester fiber and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to textile engineering technical field, in particular it relates to a kind of liquid crystalline polyester fiber and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Liquid crystal polymer (Liquid Crystalline Polymer, abbreviation LCP) is in the one kind between liquid and crystal Between state macromolecular compound, be the class novel high polymer material for developing rapidly nearest decades.With other macromolecule phases Than liquid crystal polymer has molecularly oriented sequence and position specific to liquid crystal;With small molecule liquid crystal compound phase ratio, liquid crystal height Molecule has high molecular characteristic again.The combination of macromolecule and liquid crystal phase sequence impart the distinct individual character of liquid crystal polymer and Characteristic.Can be divided into according to the condition of Formation of liquid crystals:Lyotropic liquid crystal polymers (Lyotropic Liquid Crystalline Polymer) With TLCP (Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Polymer, abbreviation TLCP, with liquid crystal polyester as generation Table).TLCP refers to temperature range of the macromolecule between certain temperature range, i.e. fusing point and clearing point, Liquid crystal state is formed, in mesomorphic polymer, the rigid element of strand is arranged according to a certain direction, shows space The average orientation of strand is different in order, but each microcell, can be molded, extrusion molding etc..
Viscosity of the LCP in its liquid crystal state phase silicon carbide is relatively low and height-oriented, thus LCP materials have it is a series of Excellent performance, such as high intensity, high-moduluss, the thermostability of protrusion, minimum linear expansion coefficient, excellent flame resistance, electricity The saturating microwave of insulating properties, chemical resistance, weather-resistant and energy, and excellent moulding processability etc., in recent years more It is described as in the world " new material of 21 century " or " Super Engineering material ".
TLCP is a kind of high performance material, with the excellent properties such as high temperature resistant, dimensional stability be strong.Conduct Special material is applied in fields such as Aero-Space, military affairs, electronics, communications.Liquid crystal polyarylate can Jing melt-spinnings into extraordinary fine Dimension.Not only intensity, modulus can match in excellence or beauty the fiber with aramid fiber, and with unique wet-hot aging performance, vibration fade performance with And excellent acid and alkali-resistance, abrasion resistance properties.
External existing TLCP manufacturer and product mainly have an Xydar of new Japan's petrochemical industry, Polyplastics and The Vectra of Ticona company of the U.S., the Ueno series of products of Japanese u'eno, the Rodrun of outstanding Ni Qika companies of Japan, day The Siveras trades mark of Ben Dongli, the Zenite of du pont company is serial, the K trades mark that in addition also Beyer Co., Ltd produces LCP materials, Ultrax trade mark LCP materials of BASF AG's production etc..It is domestic for some years recently, it is Beijing University, clear The colleges and universities such as China, Fudan University and some institutes are also studied, and are had phase to LCP, particularly thermotropic LCP materials When many research papers and report.Disclose a kind of poly- mixed with low-molecular-weight thermotropic liquid crystal in Chinese patent CN102071493A The high viscosity thermotropic liquid crystal polyarylate spinning process of aromatic ester, is to adopt melt spinning, belongs to two-step method spinning;Chinese patent Disclose a kind of embedding using siloxanes or siloxanes in application 86106830 and patent Chinese patent application 200680046533 The copolymer-modified polyarylate of section, such silicone block copolymer forms clad in spinning process, special so as to give fiber Some premium properties.In general, although the country expands research to liquid crystal polymer material, more it is tracked Research in terms of research and processing, also has many technical problems not adequately addressed in industrialization practice, and such as thermotropic liquid crystal is high Molecule aggregation reacts wayward, Thermotropic Liquid Crystalline Copolyesters (TLCP, TLCP) the materials processing temperature of synthesis Degree window narrows etc., substantially also do not form effective production capacity, particularly there is the product of certain competitiveness.Current liquid crystal The visible report of Direct-spinning of PET Fiber is all melt spinning method, needs to carry out solid-phase tack producing to liquid crystal polyester before spinning, belongs to two-step method Technique.And for thermotropic liquid crystal polyester belongs to backbone chain type liquid crystal macromolecule, rigid mesomorphic unit is located among main chain, Gu Some rigid chain segments make it have higher fusing point, even above its decomposition temperature.Certainly for macrostate, decompose completely The time is also required to, but even if the liquid crystal polyester melt spinning of this class obtains fiber also due to part has been decomposed so that point Son amount distribution is extremely irregular, therefore fibre strength is low, and modulus is low.And during liquid crystal polyester melt spinning, fiber meeting Fibre is frozen within the scope of very narrow temperature, the problem that fibre orientation is uneven is caused.
