Description

Fabric material capable of realizing rigid-flexible switching
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nanofiber materials, and particularly relates to a fabric material capable of realizing rigid-flexible switching.
Background
In recent years, advances in materials and related fields have been greatly driven by advances in nanotechnology. Research has found that many conventional materials have many specific properties, such as ultra-high electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, or mechanical strength properties, at the nano-scale, as compared to the conventional scale. For example, carbon material, if made into carbon nanotubes, not only has good thermal conductivity, but also has very high strength, which is several times that of steel.
Recent studies have found that many metallic materials, after being formed into nanowires, have a melting point that decreases significantly, even from hundreds to thousands of degrees celsius down to room temperature. By virtue of this feature, we can use it to make fabric materials that can change flexibility if appropriate heating of the nanowires can be used to soften the wires.
In the fields of medicine, industry, military and the like, there is often great demand for materials with variable flexibility, such as human body protection, rehabilitation training, production safety and the like. At present, flexible variable materials which are light, rapid in adjustment and easy to fold and bend are not met at the same time. For example, in medical imaging and nuclear industries, workers often need to be in contact with strong radiation, so that the radiation protective clothing must be worn, the traditional radiation protective clothing is formed by adding metal fibers into cloth or directly inserting metal plates, a thicker metal layer is needed for achieving a better protective effect, and the flexibility of the protective clothing is reduced and the wearing is not flexible.

Or the nano metal wire and the auxiliary fabric material are mixed and woven in a crossed mode, or the nano metal wire fiber structure is wrapped in the heating pipeline of the temperature control device and then mixed and woven or stacked with the auxiliary fabric material in a multilayer mode.
The nano metal wire fiber structure adopts simple substance metal, alloy or metal compound which can be made into nano fiber. Compared with common metal wires, the nano metal wire fibers have lower melting points and can generate softening action or melting at higher temperature, so that the elastic modulus of the nano metal wire fibers is changed. The metal wire fiber can be formed by weaving a single nano metal wire, or can be formed by mutually winding a plurality of nano metal wires to form a single fiber and weaving the single fiber.
The auxiliary fabric material is a textile type structure which is composed of one or more of cotton spinning, chemical fiber and organic elastic high polymer material and has high flexibility and tensile strength.
The temperature control device is used for changing the temperature of the nano metal wire fiber structure, can be a common heating wire or a heating fluid pipeline, and enables the temperature of the nano metal wire fiber structure to rise through a heat conduction mode, or the temperature control device is an electric temperature control device, and with the help of the conductivity of the nano metal wire fiber, current is introduced into the nano metal wire fiber, and the temperature of the nano metal wire fiber structure is increased by utilizing the electric heating effect.
The temperature control device can be a single heating structure, and the fabric material is changed from flexibility to rigidity through natural cooling, or the temperature control device is a device with heating and cooling functions, and the fabric material is changed from flexibility to rigidity through active cooling.
The temperature control device is provided with a temperature measuring sensor, measures the temperature of the nano metal wire fiber structure, stably adjusts the temperature of the nano metal wire fiber structure through feedback, and finally realizes stable control.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
