Abstract
The invention relates to a highly oriented polyolefin fibre containing polyolefin with an intrinsic viscosity of at least 5 dl/g, which fibre has a tensile strength of at least 26 cN/dtex and a modulus of tension of at least 700 cN/dtex, a process for the preparation thereof and the use in ropes or anti-ballistic shaped articles. The invention also relates to improved ropes and anti-ballistic shaped articles. The highly oriented polyolefin fibre according to the invention has improved properties in applications such as, in particular, anti-ballistic shaped articles since the fibre contains 0.05 - 5 wt.% of a solvent for the polyolefin (relative to the total fibre weight).
Description
The present invention relates to: containing inherent viscosity is the polyolefinic highly oriented polyolefin fibre of 5dl/g at least, and the tensile strength of this fiber is 26cN/dtex (dtex) at least, and tensile modulus is 700cN/dtex at least; Its preparation method and the application in rope or shellproof molded article thereof.The invention still further relates to improved rope and shellproof molded article.
Described highly oriented polyolefin fibre is learnt by EP-A-0.205.960.Highly oriented polyolefin fibre described in the literary composition has very high tensile strength and tensile modulus and low creep rate, thereby makes it to be particularly suitable for, for example rope and shellproof molded article.This fiber is to become gelatinous fibre by the polyolefin solution spinning, extracts solvent from fiber, stretches to make through extraction and dry fiber in one or more steps.
Yet, still exist at present the further improved needs of this kind fiber quality, perhaps need at least fibre property optimization so that the quality of being made by these fibers such as the series products of rope and shellproof molded article is improved.Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of in described application the improved highly oriented polyolefin fibre of performance.
Surprisingly, this purpose has been realized by the fiber that comprises this polyolefinic solvent (with respect to total weight of fiber) of 0.05~5wt% unexpectedly.
Have now found that; fiber of the present invention especially is suitable for shellproof molded article, because have height " specific energy absorption (SEA) " based on the molded article of this kind fiber, this means needs less fiber; therefore with less weight, just can obtain the protection of same degree.Finding that also fiber of the present invention is particularly suitable for rope, mainly is because they closely do not lose softness again, also because can improve line strength.
The improvement of fiber quality is especially wondrous, because the existence one of a large number of up to now solvent in fiber is to being considered to disadvantageous, because this will reduce the fibre machinery performance, particularly because the creep rate of fiber will be than higher, its intensity and modular ratio are lower.Wonderfully also be, contain the solvent fiber and have with " doing " fiber of comparable intensity and modulus and compare higher shellproof quality, because solvent itself can not contribute to the size of protective effect, though it can improve area density really.
Containing the solvent fiber is that prior art is known.Yet this fibrid is not height-oriented, and they are not suitable for the desired application field, because their mechanical performance is good inadequately.In the application's scope, height-oriented is interpreted as, and fiber has the tensile modulus of 700cN/dtex at least, and the tensile strength of 26cN/dtex (measuring by the method stipulated below) at least.The known solvent fiber that contains is by a kind of intermediate product in the method for formulations prepared from solutions fiber.This section description clearly illustrates that solvent is not wish to be present in the final products, therefore still need remove.For example, US-A-5,213,745, the optimum extractant that extracts mineral oil solvent in a kind of gelatinous fibre of drawing-off has never been described.This publication does not have to describe and contains solvent, height-oriented polyamide fiber.EP-A-0,115,192 have described the fiber of high solvent content, low tensile strength and tensile modulus.This fiber equally also is an intermediate product, also is not suitable for described purposes same as before.
Tensile strength (or intensity) and tensile modulus (or modulus) be according to stipulative definition and the mensuration of ASTM D885M, adopts the name of 500mm fiber space (scale) length, the crosshead speed of 50%/min and Instroon2714 anchor clamps.Before the mensuration, fiber adds and is twisted to 31 turn/rice.According to the load-deformation curve of measuring, the gradient that modulus can be used as between 0.3~1% strain is determined.For calculating modulus and intensity, the tensile force of mensuration is divided by fiber number, and the latter can determine by the weight that takes by weighing the 10m fiber.Creep here and hereinafter is interpreted as under 50 ℃, 8.11g/dtex load after 5 hours, with respect to the percentage elongation of former length.This elongation comprises elastic elongation.
Fiber is interpreted as a kind of continuous or discontinuous object such as monofilament, multifilament textile, band or staple fibre yarn.In principle, silk can have any section configuration and thickness.Preferably, the fiber number of (list) silk is at most 5, more preferably maximum 3 dawn/rhizoid.The advantage of the filament number that this kind is low is that fiber will have better ballistic performance.
Various polyolefin can be used in the fiber of the present invention.Specially suitable polyolefin is polyethylene and polyacrylic homopolymers and copolymer.In addition, used polyolefin can comprise a small amount of a kind or multiple other polymer, particularly other alkenes-1-polymer.Good result reaches when selecting Hi-fax (PE) as polyolefin for use.Hi-fax is interpreted as per 100 carbon atoms here to have and is less than 1 side chain, preferred per 300 carbon atoms are less than 1 polyethylene, it can comprise the alkene of the highest 5mol%1 kind or multiple copolymerization with it in addition, for example propylene, butylene, amylene, 4-methylpentene or octene.Except polyolefin and solvent, this fiber also can comprise a small amount of normally used additive of this fibrid, for example antioxidant, spinning oil, heat stabilizer, colouring agent etc.
Preferably, polyamide fiber, particularly polyethylene fiber, its inherent viscosity (IV) should be greater than 5dl/g.Because its molecular chain length, the polyamide fiber with IV like this has extraordinary mechanical performance, and for example high-tensile, modulus, energy to fracture absorb (energy to failure).Why more preferably, this also is, polyolefin is the poly reason of IV greater than 10dl/g.IV measures according to method PTC-179 (Hercules company, 1982-04-29 revised edition), and condition determination is: 135 ℃, in naphthalane, dissolution time is 16 hours, and antioxidant is DBPC, and consumption is a 2g/l solution; Employing is extrapolated to zero-dose with the viscosity under the variable concentrations and obtains.
For guaranteeing the superior ballistic effect, the tensile strength of fiber should be 26cN/dtex at least, and modulus is 700cN/dtex at least.Preferably, modulus is 880cN/dtex at least, more preferably is 1060cN/dtex at least, most preferably 1235cN/dtex at least.Intensity preferably is 31cN/dtex at least, more preferably is 33cN/dtex at least, most preferably 35cN/dtex at least.Have now found that surprisingly lower, but with regard to the object of the invention under the effective solvent strength condition, the creep of the height-oriented fiber of this kind only is subjected to the adverse effect of this solvent to a small extent.Preferably, the tensile strength of fiber of the present invention is 26cN/dtex at least; Modulus is 700cN/dtex at least; Solvent 0.05~2wt%; Creep is maximum 20%, more preferably maximum 15%/hour, further preferred maximum 10%/hour, most preferably maximum 5%.So low creep is favourable for being used for rope especially.When per 1000 carbon atoms of copolymer that adopt had more than 2 short-side chains, creep also can further reduce.Preferably, the creep of this moment is at most 10, more preferably maximum 5%.
Here and solvent hereinafter be interpreted as dissolving described polyolefinic material.Polyolefinic suitable solvent is well known by persons skilled in the art.They for example can the middle selection from " polymer handbook " (J.Brandrup and E.H.Immergut, the 3rd edition, VII chapter, pp.379~402).Preferably, at used polyolefin, particularly polyethylene, the Chi-parameter of the solvent that is adopted is more preferably less than 0.45 less than 0.5, further preferably less than 0.4, most preferably less than 0.35.The chi-parametric description of solvent is in " poly-parameter in solubility parameter and other " the 2nd edition, and Allan Barton publishes, p.386.The advantage of doing like this is that under same solvent content condition, the improvement degree of quality is bigger.Made necessary modification in detail, for the improvement that reaches the same degree ballistic performance needs less solvent.Polyolefin, particularly poly suitable solvent example be, respectively or combine: naphthalane, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalene, toluene, rudimentary normal paraffin such as hexane, (to) dimethylbenzene, paraffin oil, isotriacontane, mineral oil, paraffin, cyclooctane.Reason in view of the above, this solvent most preferably is paraffin oil or naphthalane.
Preferably, this solvent is non-volatile solvent, for example paraffin oil.The advantage of doing like this is that fiber has better stability, in other words, and fiber, and do not pass in time and descend based on the performance of the product of fiber, and useful life can prolong.Another advantage is, fiber does not have so unpleasant peculiar smell, and is nontoxic or do not impair one's health, and this point is to being even more important as the bodily protection purposes.Non-volatile solvent is interpreted as at the in fact unvaporized solvent of the temperature that is lower than the polyolefin melt temperature.Preferably, they are that boiling point preferably exceeds 50~100 ℃ solvent than fibers melt temperature basically.
Fiber of the present invention comprises 0.05~5wt% polyolefin solvent.Solvent will not have or seldom produce effect if be lower than 0.05wt%.Content is if be higher than 5wt%, and shortcoming is, they will be no longer continue to make substantive contribution to the improvement of ballistic performance, perhaps even harmful.SEA is a certain optimum solvent content along with solvent is increased to, and at this moment, no longer can offset the increase of area density to the contribution of energy absorption, and SEA descends once again after being higher than this point.Although because the ratio of solvent fiber is cheap, it may be favourable that final molded article contains the solvent that is higher than optimum solvent content, and the selection of solvent should consider that preferably to obtain high as far as possible ballistic performance be target.Optimum solvent content also depends on fibre configuration, selected solvent quality and contractive condition.According to guideline given here, those skilled in the art can determine optimum content for every kind of process conditions.For these reasons, in the fiber solvent preferably between 0.1~3wt%, more preferably 0.2~2wt%, further preferred 0.2~1.2wt%, most preferably 0.3~1.0wt%.Situation, especially the chi-parameter that low solvent like this is preferred for good solvent is lower than 0.5 solvent and is used for the situation of unidirectional composite material.The solvent of fiber can be measured according to known way, for example directly by infrared technique, C13NMR, perhaps indirectly---and shift out by solvent, for example measure by the combination of extraction or headspace gas chromatography or described technology.
Fiber of the present invention can contact with this polyolefinic solvent by height-oriented " doing " polyamide fiber and prepare, and wherein fiber sucks the solvent of 0.05~5wt%.Height-oriented " doing " polyamide fiber can be prepared by polyolefin polymer by known way, for example by gel spinning (Smith and Lemstra), solid phase processing (Chanzy and Smith) by untouched reactor powder, by melt extruding (Ward) or, cooperating again with one or more drafting step to improve the degree of orientation by the extruding of the powder of crystallization (Kanamoto) again from solution.
Preferably, fiber directly prepares by gel spinning.The invention still further relates to the preparation method of highly oriented polyolefin fibre of the present invention, it comprises: the solution of preparation polyolefin in solvent, this solution is extruded through one or more spinneret orifices and subsequently thereby its cooling is made gelatinous fibre to obtain gelatinous fibre, from gelatinous fibre, shift out solvent, and in one or more steps this fiber of drawing-off.This kind method can be from EP-A-0, learns in 205,960.For preparing fiber of the present invention, this method should be made following adaptive modification: be not to shift out whole solvents from the gelatinous fibre that forms, but in the shaping that contains the solvent precursor, in the temperature that is higher than the polyolefin equilibrium melting temperature gelatinous fibre being carried out drawing-off through after one or more drafting step, the result obtains to contain the highly oriented polyolefin fibre of 0.05~5wt% solvent.
The advantage of the inventive method is, the preparation of fiber needs less step, and the fiber of producing by this method, compares with other modes close quantity solvent being joined in intensity and the comparable fiber of modulus, has better ballistic performance.Another advantage of the inventive method, for example with EP-A-0,205 960 described methods are just compared and are, and under other constant conditions, containing the solvent precursor fiber, to be drawing to during the height-oriented fiber fiber broken end less.As a result, production is stopped less, and productivity ratio is higher.
Precursor fiber can be in one step shifts out by drawing-off simultaneously and fiber to be made, and the solvent of perhaps taking to separate shifts out and drafting step.The choice criteria of the solvent in the precursor fiber is, makes final products, that is, highly oriented polyolefin fibre comprises the requested number solvent, that is, contain between 0.05~5wt% after drawing-off.Shift out again during a part of solvent can being waited until final drafting step.Yet preferably, use non-volatile solvent, at this moment, in the final drafting step during the precursor fiber drawing-off solvent in fact keep constant.The advantage of doing like this is the relatively good control of draft process, but therefore drawdown is relatively good.
In a kind of embodiment of this method, the solvent in the highly oriented polyolefin fibre is identical with the solvent that is used for spinning solution.The solvent of precursor fiber can be shifted out by incomplete solvent and reach, for example by shortening evaporation or extraction time or passing through influence evaporation or extraction rate.
In the especially preferred embodiment of the inventive method, this solvent is made of the mixture of the 1st solvent (A) with the 2nd solvent (B) basically, and wherein (A) will be moved out of; (B) stay in the fiber.
There are significant difference in these solvents (A) and physicochemical properties (B), so that solvent for use shifts out technology and cause shifting out of (A), and solvent (B) is then stayed in the fiber substantially.
The advantage of this embodiment is that the content of the solvent in the precursor fiber (B) can directly and more accurately be set by the selection that spin solvent is formed, and does not relate to the significant movement of other technological parameters.With regard to the object of the invention, not necessarily require (A) shift out and/or drawing-off during with solution in the amount of (B) all remain in the fiber, but for the purpose of technology controlling and process advantageously, entire quantity (B) is all stayed in the fiber during (A) shifts out with any speed, to prevent the pollution of process.Just because of this, preferably during drawing-off (B) also almost all stay in the fiber.(A) needn't all shift out, but, (A) preferably shift out fully for the reason of technology controlling and process.Preferably, the content of (A) is not higher than 0.5wt% in the fiber, preferably is lower than 0.3wt%, more preferably less than 0.2wt%, most preferably is lower than 0.1wt%.
