Waterproof moisture-permeable film and preparation and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of moisture-permeable film materials and preparation and application thereof, and particularly relates to a waterproof moisture-permeable film and preparation and application thereof.
Background
The waterproof moisture-permeable fabric is an outdoor product and occupies a very large proportion. The traditional waterproof moisture-permeable product is basically processed by a processing mode of laminating two layers or three layers, namely, the outer layer is a waterproof fabric, and the middle layer is a film layer. In addition, an inner layer can be added for the third time to avoid the direct contact between the membrane and the body.
Among these, the membrane has two main functions: the waterproof fabric has the advantages that firstly, the waterproof fabric is resistant to water pressure, and water is prevented from permeating into the inner layer through gaps of the fabric under certain pressure; and secondly, moisture permeation is realized, and moisture generated by the body is guided out from the inner layer to the outer layer of the garment in a microporous or moisture absorption swelling mode, so that the comfort of the body is kept.
At present, the waterproof moisture-permeable film mainly has two types: the principle of the hydrophilic swelling membrane is similar to heat conduction from high temperature to low temperature, and the hydrophilic swelling membrane absorbs water vapor with high humidity in the inner layer, conducts the water vapor to the outer layer with low humidity and evaporates on the surface through the high moisture absorption and conduction effect of the hydrophilic swelling membrane, so that the moisture conduction effect is achieved. Its advantages are simple process and low cost; the defects mainly include limited conduction efficiency and performance and incapability of effectively ensuring wearing comfort. Another is a polytetrafluoroethylene microporous membrane represented by Gore-tex. The principle is that water vapor can directly permeate from the micropores, so that the effect of high-efficiency moisture conduction is achieved. Its advantages are high water-proof and moisture-penetrability, and high effect. The disadvantage is that the fluoride-containing components are banned gradually due to the requirement of environmental protection, and the whole industry develops the substitute of the later generation.
Currently, the best-seen and investment-willing technology for major sports brands is electrospun membranes. The principle is that the submicron fiber layer is superposed layer by layer to form the superfine fiber non-woven fabric, and the effect of simulating the polytetrafluoroethylene microporous membrane is formed through micropores between fibers. The advantages are that the microporous waterproof moisture permeable effect can be achieved, and the polytetrafluoroethylene film can be replaced to a certain extent; but the defects are very obvious, namely, the problem of low strength caused by insufficient bonding force between fiber layers; another problem is the productivity limitation caused by the low spinning efficiency and the high cost. At present, the process can only be used for preparing a plurality of small samples, and the large-scale production is greatly limited.
CN104562444A discloses a static spraying nano spider web waterproof perspective film and a preparation method thereof, wherein the most common way for preparing porous films by static spinning is adopted in the patent: and (3) spinning the emulsion through high-voltage static electricity to form a film on a receiving surface, and condensing and networking the residual solid component after the liquid component in the emulsion is volatilized to form the porous moisture-permeable film. The main problems of this process are as follows: 1, the production efficiency is low, the solid content in the solution is low, and the unit output in the spinning process is low, so that the overall production efficiency is very low; 2 the membrane has poor strength and is easy to delaminate-the porous membrane is formed by laminating the electrospun superfine fibers, the superfine fibers have poor strength, and the fibers are not crosslinked or strengthened, so that the porous membrane is easy to delaminate or crack in the using process.

and (3) hot-melting and laminating the composite film and the fabric, washing and drying to obtain the moisture permeable film.
The preferred mode of the above preparation method is as follows:
the addition is specifically as follows: the method is carried out by adopting a three-spraying and three-static wire drawing mode or a two-spraying and three-wire drawing mode.
The multi-nozzle PU spraying material and the electrostatic spinning polyethylene oxide PEO fiber are combined in a three-spraying three-electrostatic spinning mode, and the three-section process comprises the following material loading ratios: the first section comprises 32.5% of PU and 0.5% of PEO, the second section comprises 33.5% of PU and 0.5% of PEO, and the third section comprises 32% of PU and 1% of PEO (the mass percentages in the system).

And (3) hot melting and laminating of the fabric: the produced film is produced on transfer paper, and is subsequently combined with the fabric in a transfer attaching mode to form a double-layer or three-layer composite fabric.
The water washing is water washing to replace PEO filaments to form micropores, the water washing mode is preferably open-width water washing, the water washing is water washing at 30-50 ℃ for 1-5 min, and the specific process is adjusted according to the thickness of the membrane, the PEO dosage, the functional index requirements and the like.
Further, the washing with water is preferably carried out at 40 ℃ for 3 min.
The invention provides an application of the moisture permeable film.
The invention combines the electrostatic spinning technology and the PU film technology, and adds the electrostatic spinning superfine fiber as a filler into the PU pulp. After the PU film is prepared and the fabric is attached, the PEO water-soluble fiber used as the filler is dissolved out through water washing replacement, so that a micropore channel is formed in the PU film.
Advantageous effects
(1) The invention combines the electrostatic spinning technology and the water-based PU moisture permeable membrane technology, improves the waterproof and moisture permeable performance of the PU membrane, and solves the problems of low productivity and insufficient strength of the electrostatic spinning membrane. In the PU wet-permeable pulp, polyethylene oxide (PEO) is drawn into superfine fibers by utilizing an electrostatic spinning technology and is implanted into the superfine fibers.
(2) According to the invention, through an electrostatic spinning method, submicron PEO filaments are embedded into a PU system, and a dimensional porous structure is formed in PU through dissolution of PEO, so that the moisture permeability of PU is improved. Meanwhile, compared with a pure electrostatic spinning film, the PU can be utilized to improve the strength, and the capacity problem is solved. Balance is obtained between the two, namely the poor moisture permeability of the PU film is improved, the defects of low productivity and poor strength of the electrostatic spinning film are overcome, and preparation is made for the TPFE film after the TPFE film is forbidden to be used;
(3) compared with PU films, the moisture permeability of the novel waterproof moisture-permeable film obtained by adopting the process of the invention is improved by 30-80%, the strength is improved by 100-150% compared with that of an electrostatic spinning film, and the adhesiveness and the subsequent processability are better.
(4) The invention retains the swelling and moisture permeability of the PU film and endows the PU film with microporous moisture permeability (the invention can obviously improve the moisture permeability of the PU film). Since the content of the electrospinning is less than 5% in the using process, the manufacturing efficiency of the film can be improved.
(5) Because the production efficiency of electrostatic spinning is very low, the film forming efficiency mainly depends on the speed of electrostatic spinning, and the production efficiency is low by adopting 100 percent electrostatic spinning (such as CN104562444A) in the traditional film forming mode; the invention only uses electrostatic spinning as the filler, and the content is lower than 5%, which can effectively improve the film-making efficiency. While avoiding the strength problem of electrostatically spun membranes. The whole processing process and finished products do not contain fluoride components, are more beneficial to environmental protection and are one of effective substitution modes of the TPFE membrane.
