Preferably, the thickness of the single layer of the polyester fiber non-woven fabric is more than 30 μm, and the diameter of the polyester fiber is 5-80 μm. When the single-layer thickness of the polyester fiber non-woven fabric is less than 30 mu m, the strength of the non-woven fabric is lower; when the diameter of the polyester fiber is less than 5 μm, the strength of the nonwoven fabric is low, and when it exceeds 80 μm, the specific surface area is reduced, and the content of the hydrogel is reduced, so that the moisture absorption rate and the adhesive strength are low.
Preferably, the preparation method of the high-water-absorption high-strength composite non-woven fabric comprises the following steps:
s101, preparing a polyester fiber non-woven fabric with a peanut-shaped cross section by adopting parallel spinning components;

Preferably, in step S102 or step S202, the hydrogel solution has a mass concentration of the hydrogel material of 0.5 to 5%. The mass concentration of the hydrogel raw material is too low, the adsorption rate of hydrogel molecules is slowed, and the adsorption quantity is reduced; the mass concentration is too high, and the viscosity of aquogel solution will show and improve, is unfavorable for even absorption, and adsorbs thickness can be too big, leads to the relative content reduction of polyester fiber non-woven fabrics, reduces composite non-woven fabrics's intensity.

Preferably, in step S103 or step S203, the temperature of the freeze-drying treatment is-10 to-30 ℃ and the time is 8 to 30 hours. In the freeze drying process, hydrogel molecules form a three-dimensional network structure and penetrate through the fibers and layers of the polyester fiber non-woven fabric.

Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, a high water absorption and high strength composite nonwoven fabric comprising a polyester fiber nonwoven fabric and sodium alginate hydrogel adsorbed on the polyester fiber nonwoven fabric is prepared by the following steps:
s101, spinning by adopting a melt spinning method and a parallel spinning assembly to prepare polyester fibers with peanut-shaped cross sections and 20 mu m diameters, and laying a net to obtain a polyester fiber non-woven fabric with the thickness of 50 mu m;

The high-water-absorption high-strength composite non-woven fabric prepared by the method has the water absorption of 67.8 percent and the longitudinal breaking strength of 38N/50mm. Compared with the polyester fiber non-woven fabric in the prior art, the water absorption rate and the strength of the non-woven fabric are both obviously improved.
Example 2
Referring to fig. 2, a high-water-absorption high-strength composite nonwoven fabric comprising two layers of polyester fiber nonwoven fabrics and sodium alginate hydrogel adsorbed on the two layers of polyester fiber nonwoven fabrics is prepared by the following steps:
s201, spinning by adopting a melt spinning method and a parallel spinning assembly to prepare polyester fibers with peanut-shaped cross sections and 20 mu m diameters, laying the polyester fibers into a net to obtain polyester fiber non-woven fabrics with the thickness of 50 mu m, and cutting the polyester fiber non-woven fabrics into 2 polyester fiber non-woven fabrics with the same size;

s203, respectively soaking the 2 pieces of polyester fiber non-woven fabrics prepared in the step S201 in the sodium alginate solution prepared in the step S202 at the soaking temperature of 85 ℃ for 30min, taking out, bonding the 2 pieces of polyester fiber non-woven fabrics together, and then carrying out freeze drying treatment at the temperature of-20 ℃ for 15h to obtain the high-water-absorption high-strength composite non-woven fabric.
The high-water-absorption high-strength composite non-woven fabric prepared by the method has the water absorption of 68.4 percent and the longitudinal breaking strength of 49N/50mm. The strength and water absorption were improved as compared with example 1, and it was demonstrated that increasing the thickness of the nonwoven fabric contributes to the improvement of the strength and water absorption of the nonwoven fabric.
Examples 3 to 8
Examples 3 to 8 are different from example 1 in that the preparation conditions in step S101 are shown in table 1, and the rest are substantially the same as example 1, and are not repeated herein.
As can be seen from Table 1, the water absorption of the nonwoven fabric gradually decreases and the breaking strength gradually increases with the increase of the diameter of the polyester fiber, and when the diameter is less than 5 μm, the breaking strength decreases to 21N/50mm, and when the diameter is more than 80 μm, the water absorption decreases to 59.1%, indicating that the increase of the comprehensive performance of the nonwoven fabric is not facilitated by too large and too small diameters. With the increase of the non-woven fabric, the water absorption rate is not changed greatly, the breaking strength is increased gradually, and when the thickness is too small, the breaking strength is smaller.

Examples 15 to 22
Examples 15 to 22 are different from example 1 in that the preparation conditions in step S103 are shown in table 3, and the rest are substantially the same as example 1, and are not repeated herein.
As can be seen from table 3, the water absorption of the nonwoven fabric decreased as the impregnation temperature decreased, probably because the hydrogel solution concentration increased as the temperature decreased, which was not favorable for uniform adsorption of hydrogel molecules. When the impregnation time is reduced, the water absorption of the nonwoven fabric is reduced because the impregnation time is reduced, the adsorption of hydrogel molecules may not be saturated yet, and the adsorption amount is reduced, so that the water absorption is reduced. Within the freezing temperature and freezing time range defined in the invention, the water absorption rate and breaking strength of the nonwoven fabric do not change much.
Table 3 preparation conditions and performance test results of examples 15 to 22 in step S103
Comparative example 1
Comparative example 1 is different from example 1 in that the hydrogel treatment of steps S102 and S103 was removed, that is, comparative example 1 is a polyester fiber nonwoven fabric having a peanut-type cross section, a fiber diameter of 20 μm, and a nonwoven fabric thickness of 50 μm.
The nonwoven fabric prepared in comparative example 1 had a water absorption of only 10.5% and a breaking strength of 35N/50mm, and although the water absorption was improved as compared with that of the conventional polyester fiber, it was significantly reduced as compared with example 1, indicating that the adsorption of hydrogel significantly improved the water absorption of the nonwoven fabric.
Comparative example 2
Comparative example 2 is different from example 1 in that a polyester fiber having a circular cross-section is prepared using a general spinning assembly in step S101, and the rest is substantially the same as example 1, and thus the description thereof is omitted.
The nonwoven fabric prepared in comparative example 2 had a water absorption of only 45% and a breaking strength of 33N/50mm, which was significantly lower than that of example 1, and also had a reduced breaking strength. Therefore, hydrogel molecules are adsorbed in the peanut-type capillary structure, so that the adsorption quantity is increased, and the water absorption rate and the adhesive force are increased along with the adsorption quantity. Further proves that the combination of the peanut type structure and the hydrogel has a remarkable effect on improving the water absorption rate and the strength of the non-woven fabric.
The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art should be considered to be within the technical scope of the present invention, and the technical solutions and the inventive concepts thereof according to the present invention should be equivalent or changed within the scope of the present invention.
