The manufacturing of fiber and bondedfibre fabric
The formation system of weaving cotton cloth generally includes some can be comprised dry twisting, wet doubling and polymer sth. made by twisting or any other program supervisor by thermal in order to produce those with the fiber that forms fabric.In certain embodiments, this fiber is by spinning in conjunction with, molten blow or the staple supervisor of carding produces.This program system is discussed in following United States Patent (USP) and numbers the 3rd, 338,992; 3,341,394; 3,276,944; 3,502,538; 3,978,185; With 4,644, in No. 045, those are by with reference to being merged in this specification in full.Usually, this spins in conjunction with handling system and uses high power vacuum chamber to increase the speed of fiber, uses the diameter that reduces fiber, and produces a continuity fiber.Should molten fetch preface be to be blown into air from top to bottom, and use surface force that this fiber is towed to higher speed, to produce the noncontinuity fiber of extremely low Denier.
Those traditional types spin in conjunction with program, are that explanation numbers the 3rd, 825 at United States Patent (USP), and 379; 4,813,864:4,405,297; 4,208,366; With 4,334, in No. 340, those all are by with reference to being merged in this specification.This spins in conjunction with program, is well-known in the fabric production technology.Usually, those continuity fibers system makes and extrudes, and is placed on above the endless belt, and then makes each other and combine, and often sometimes be to make to the one similar one molten second layer that blows layer etc., and it often is by a hot calender cylinder, or doses a binder.One spins the general survey of combination, can be obtained from the Tennessee State, the Knoxville city, the The Textiles andNonwovens Development Center (hereinafter being called " TANPEC ") (textiles and nonwoven fabric development centre) of Tennessee State university support the bondedfibre fabric of L.c.Wadsworth and B.C.Goswami in the 8th annual nonwoven fabric seminar journal in July 30 nineteen ninety to August 3: " Spunbonded andMelt Blown Processs " (spinning combination and molten fetch preface).
Term " melts and blows " in this bright book in order to the some fibre of touching upon, those are to make a molten thermoplastic polymers composition on forming, the extruded very thin screw die capillaries that are generally circle of majority of crossing, and with the yarn or the filament of some fusions, make and (for example enter a high velocity air of restraining, air), its function can make this yarn or filament subtract carefully to the diameter that dwindles.After this, these filaments or yarn are to be sent by this high velocity air band, and are deposited on one and collect above the surface, intersperse at random and average diameter weaving cotton cloth less than 10 microns melt blown fiber usually to form one.
It is in order to the some fibre of touching upon that term " spins combination " in this bright book, those make a molten thermoplastic polymers composition on forming, extruded mistake has the most very thin of spinneret that the diameter that is extruded filament sharply dwindles then and is generally circular screw die capillary, and make these filaments be deposited on one thereafter to collect above the surface, with form one intersperse at random and average diameter usually about 7 and about 30 microns between the weaving cotton cloth of melt blown fiber.
Those nonwoven fabric can produce by many methods.Most method comprises identical base program substantially: (1) material is selected; (2) formation of weaving cotton cloth; (3) fabric is fixed; (4) weave cotton cloth and finish.Material is selected the character that is fit to its application can be provided.This is weaved cotton cloth is that fiber by selected material forms.This is weaved cotton cloth then can be in conjunction with to form fabric, and this fabric can be handled, and can and fold the final product of usefulness for cutting to produce.
The diameter of fiber can have influence on its fabric and comprise character such as intensity and bending rigidity.The diameter of those fibers can measured and record in multiple mode.Usually, measurement is done with the Denier of every long filament by fibre diameter system.Denier is a weaving term, and it is the fiber gram number that is defined as per 9000 meters fibre length.Monofilament is usually directed to one and has the extrude twisted wire of every monofilament greater than 15 Denier, and system is greater than 30 usually.Thin Denier fiber is usually directed to one and has about 15 or following fiber.Little Denier (that is, microfiber) is touched upon usually and one is had and be not more than 100 microns fiber.With regard to the disclosed fiber of this specification, its diameter can have variation widely, and little to fiber elastic impact.Yet its fiber Denier can adjust, and to be fit to the ability to accept that it handles finished product etc., perhaps preferably: every long filament is from about 0.5 to about 30 Denier with regard to molten blowing; With regard to spin in conjunction with regard to every long filament from about 1 to about 30 Denier; With the every long filament of continuous reeling filament from about 1 to about 20,000 Denier.
The Denier of fibre diameter can be converted into rice according to following equation:
Other last fibre property that can have influence on fabric comprises: fiber alignment, crystallinity, diameter and cooldown rate.Its bond strength is a limiting factor of bondedfibre fabric intensity.Lower fiber alignment, tolerable have bigger fusion amount during combination, and cause stronger calmodulin binding domain CaM.In addition, draw a large amount orientation that a polymer is caused, will during thermal, cause the contraction of a large amount, and make its disposal ability have any problem.
The crystalline portion of one fiber is a particular importance to the thermal program due to the fusion that is taken place.Its fusion and the degree that flows are to impact its bond strength significantly.Its at first fusion of more unsettled crystalline solid; If this polymer of enough heat transferred is arranged, then just can be stable or oriented crystalline solid.Between this short-term to the heat transmission of its calmodulin binding domain CaM, with only some crystalline solid can fusion.
Weaving cotton cloth after loosely has formed, this other fiber needs combined together.The fixed strength and stiffness that provide of fabric are to this fabric.Those fixed modes of weaving cotton cloth comprise: mechanical type, chemical formula and thermojunction are box-like.Mechanical type is fixed to be to finish by twining fiber at each some place of weaving cotton cloth, and comprises stylus printer, stitch bonding, spins lace or any other mechanical fixed program.Chemical formula relates to the spraying of binders such as a similar latex or soaks in conjunction with system weaves cotton cloth.The thermal of weaving cotton cloth is common combination technology, comprises a calendering, ultrasonic and radiant heat combination.In certain embodiments, use point to roll combination, the some calendering makes the hot cylinder of weaving cotton cloth and closely contacting by two in conjunction with comprising.One of them cylinder is to do positive sample embossment, and another cylinder then is a smooth cylinder.This fiber makes fusion and flows to the top of one another.When cooling, its fabric is just calculated formation.
When the fabric of a fiber was drawn in calender, the heating power program of many different scales will take place.These programs comprise: conduction-type heat is transmitted; Thermal deformation; Flowing of molten polymer; Diffusion; With carat amber dragon effect.
Conduction-type heat is transmitted system's transmission and is crossed steel cylinder, fabric interface.The heat that transmitted of conduction and the temperature of steel cylinder are directly proportional and weave cotton cloth and expend in conjunction with the time quantum under the pin mark (drum speed).And, add to the heat of its distortion of heat of its system.Because the high pressure between this steel cylinder, this is weaved cotton cloth and will promptly form a different shape by the utmost point, and finishes mechanical power above the system at this.This mechanical power will be transformed into heat.The heat of this two form, the temperature of weaving cotton cloth between this cylinder of will raising, and at it in conjunction with the highest under the pin mark.Suppose that the equation system that all mechanical powers all translate into heat derives from:
[F(s)ds]α=VρC PΔT+fΔH fXρV
Wherein, F (s) ds is the strength that is applied in a distance, d s above weaving cotton cloth.α is the mechanical power component that converts heat to, and V is the capacity of weaving cotton cloth, and X is its crystallinity, and f binds the component of crystal fusion.First of its right side is it in order to increasing heat of temperature, with and second be the heat of its molten polymer crystalline solid of narration.
When its temperature reached to its fusing point, this was in conjunction with the high pressure under the pin mark, will make this molten mass, outwards flow to the zone of a lower pressure.And when molten condition, this polymer will the oneself spread.When leaving this calendering cylinder, this molten mass will solidify, and will mechanically make this fiber lock fix on its binding site place.This two phenomenon can make several fibers fuse together at a binding site place, and this can be weaved cotton cloth and be transformed into a fabric.Those polymer relevant scattering and permeating distance during in conjunction with program is almost can be left in the basket.Its seepage distance system derives from:
R=[t(2×D)]
Wherein, R is a seepage distance, and t is the time, and D is its self-diffusion coefficient.Usually, most polymer is 10 for having a size -15Diffusion coefficient, and at this in conjunction with expending 10 to 40 milliseconds under the pin mark.Use these approximate numbers, it can calculate its seepage distance system only between 45 and 100 .Consider most fiber that is used for thermal, its diameter is approximately 20 microns, and this fiber only spreads 0.00000225 percentage of those overall diameters.So its polymer melt around the mechanical interlocking of fiber, might be to keep this fiber domination strength together at its binding site place in calmodulin binding domain CaM.
This will cause being known as in addition the increase in carat melt temperature of amber dragon effect in conjunction with the pressure that pin mark increases down.What pressure effect made the polypropylene fusing point increases to 38K/kbar or 0.38 ℃/Mpa.Use the typical pressure under the binding site, polyacrylic fusing point will increase about 10 ℃.Poly melt temperature in conjunction with under the pressure, will increase about 5 ℃ typically.
Above-mentioned several factors in conjunction with the hot calender program will have influence on those last fibre properties, comprising temperature, pressure, speed, diameter of cylinder and embossment pattern.The selection of temperature mainly is the function of its material, but reason it should be noted that it is passed to the gross energy of weaving cotton cloth, and is a function of temperature, pressure, diameter of cylinder and linear velocity.If it is low that its temperature was selected, then this weave cotton cloth will be in conjunction with deficiency, so the intensity of its fabric will be very weak.If this bowl temperature is too high, then this weave cotton cloth will be in conjunction with excessively, so the fabric that it became will be too hard, perhaps this fusion fully of weaving cotton cloth, and be adhered to this cylinder.
Its effect that is applied to the pressure of fabric is very little, but can not be left in the basket.Under low-pressure, weave cotton cloth in conjunction with very poor, thereby its intensity is very poor.When pressure increased, the intensity of this fabric was the function in conjunction with temperature and pressure.Under high pressure,, and then can begin to reduce along with the increase of pressure though fabric intensity can reach a maximum.Be lower than this pressure, its intensity will continue upwards to increase, and the fusing point of this polymer that arrives.
This will have influence on heat and be passed to the total time of weaving cotton cloth in conjunction with the speed and the diameter of cylinder.Bigger in conjunction with diameter of cylinder, tolerable more closely contacts this hot cylinder than those than doffer.Therefore, it will have more heat and be passed to and weave cotton cloth.In identical mode, the cylinder of slow rotation, the cylinder with faster rotating has less contact time.
One fabric expends the time quantum in this folder crack (closely contact area), can be expressed as:
t=AC 0 1/2R 1/2V 1
The t=time
R=is in conjunction with cylinder 7 radiuses
V=is in conjunction with the speed of cylinder A = C O - C n C o + C R - C n C o
Wherein, C oBe original fabric thickness, C NBe this in conjunction with the thickness between cylinder, and C RFor this in conjunction with cylinder in the compression after thickness.
The profile of this fiber is also unrestricted, and can be any suitable profile.For example, typical fiber cording has a circular cross section, but sometimes those fiber cordings have different profiles, such as, the profile of a trilobal.Or one smooth (that is, " band " shape) profile.
After this is deviate from conjunction with pin mark, cooling will take place and solidify in this calmodulin binding domain CaM at the box-like fabric of thermojunction.This fabric reaches the more clearly quenching velocity of this calmodulin binding domain CaM, may impact its last textile properties.
Those important textile properties comprise: intensity, percentage elongation, peak load, scuff resistance and bending rigidity.The intensity of bondedfibre fabric or toughness and percentage elongation, to production routine and consumer are all very important thereafter, a fabric has heal big intensity and elasticity, and it just can heal fast and other material is combined into last consumer products.Another character of bondedfibre fabric is its wear-resistant ability.When a rough surface was applied to bondedfibre fabric, those fibers will be drawn out from this surface, and made this form fine, soft fur or ball top above surface.In this connection, high abrasion resistance strength is favourable with regard to bondedfibre fabric.Human dress and another critical nature of the material of exchange premium skin is its hardness.This character can or touch assessment by bending rigidity and do measurement. Fiber forming polymer
Any fiber forming polymer, particularly those can do the fiber forming polymer of thermal, can be used to embodiments of the invention.For example, those suitable polymer comprise, but unrestricted meaning, α-polyolefin homopolymer and interpretation, those comprise polypropylene, propylene/C 4-C 20α-polyolefin copolymer, polyethylene and ethene/C 3-C 20α-polyolefin copolymer, this interpretation can be heterogeneity ethylene/alpha-polyolefin interpretation, or is homogeneous ethylene/alpha-polyolefin interpretation, those comprise linear ethylene/α-polyolefin interpretation substantially.Included aliphatic alpha-polyolefin the interpretation that still has those to have 12 to 20 carbon atoms and comprise dipole group.Those can with the suitable aliphatic alpha-polyolefin monomer in the dipole group importing polymer for example comprise the unsaturated cyanide of vinyl of similar acrylic acid cyanide, methacrylate cyanide, ethylacrylic acid cyanide or the like; Unsaturated no hyrate such as similar maleic anhydride; The vinyl unsaturated amine of similar acrylamide, MAAm or the like; The vinyl unsaturated carboxylic acid of similar acrylic acid, methacrylate or the like (single and difunctionality base); The ester class of the vinyl unsaturated carboxylic acid of similar methylmethacrylate, ethyl acrylate, hydroxyethylmethacry,ate, n-butylacrylic acid ester or methacrylate, 2-ethyl-ethylhexyl acrylate or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer or the like (particularly more rudimentary, C for example 1-C 6, Arrcostab); The vinyl unsaturated dicarboxylic imines of similar N-alkyl or N-aromatic radical maleimide, similar N-phenylmaleimide or the like.The monomer that these comprise dipole group is preferably acrylic acid, vinylacetate, vinyl acetate, maleic anhydride and acrylic acid cyanide.This comes from the halogen group that aliphatic alpha-polyolefin polymer of monomers can comprise, and comprises fluorine, chlorine and bromine; These polymer are preferably the polyethylene (CPE) of some chlorinations.Polymer such as those similar polyester and nylon also can be used.
The difference part of those heterogeneity interpretations and homogeneous interpretation is, all substantially interpretation molecule among the latter, in its interpretation, have identical ethene/comonomer ratio, and being those interpretation molecules, the heterogeneity interpretation do not have identical ethene/comonomer ratio person.Term " broad composition distribution ", be in order to the relevant comonomer distribution of explanation heterogeneity interpretation in this specification, mean those heterogeneity interpretations and have one " linearity " component, and this heterogeneity interpretation has the multiple melting peaks value that records by DSC (that is, present at least two different fusion peak values).This heterogeneity interpretation, about 10 percentages (weight ratio) or above in, best is greater than in 15 percentages (weight ratio), is more preferably greater than in 20 percentages (weight ratio), has a Zhi Jiandu who is less than or equal to 2 methyl/1000 carbon.This heterogeneity interpretation, about 25 percentages (weight ratio) or following in, best is less than in 15 percentages (weight ratio), is more preferably less than in 10 percentages (weight ratio), has a Zhi Jiandu who is equal to or greater than 25 methyl/1000 carbon.
Its heterogeneity polymer composition can be preferably a polyethylene or a polyacrylic α-polyolefin homopolymer, perhaps is more preferably one and has at least one C 3-C 20α-polyolefin and/or C 4-C 18The ethene interpretation of diene.The heterogeneity copolymer of ethene and propylene, 1-butylene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl isophthalic acid amylene and 1-octene is good especially.
Linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) is produced in a solution or a liquid bed program.Its polymerization belongs to catalytic reaction.Metallocene and single position metallocene catalyst systems are used to produce LLDPE always.The polymer that it became has one and is linear skeleton basically on characteristic.The horizontal control of density of the comonomer by being merged into other linear polymer skeletons.Various α-polyolefin, typically with ethylene copolymerization to produce LLDPE.α-polyolefin that this preferably has four to eight carbon atoms, the amount in this polymer of being present in is up to about 10 percentage by weights.Its most typical comonomer is butylene, hexene, 4-methyl-1-pentene and octene.This comonomer will have influence on the density of its polymer.The relevant density range of LLDPE is quite broad, typically is from 0.87-0.95g/cc (ASTM D-792).
The linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) melt index also is controlled by the importing of chain terminating agents such as a similar hydrogen or a hydrogen donator.One linear low density polyethylene is relevant, and (well-known in the past is " condition E " and the also well-known " I of being according to 190 ℃/2.16kg of ASTM D-1238 condition 2") melt index that records, scope can be broad from about 0.1 to about 150g/10min.With regard to order of the present invention ground, the melt index that this LLDPE has should be greater than 10 with regard to the filament that spins combination, and are well 15 or bigger.Good especially LLDPE polymer, cording have one 0.90 to 0.945g/cc density and one greater than 25 melt index.
The commercial embodiment that has suitable linear, low density polyethylene polymerization thing now comprises: the linear, low density polyethylene polymerization thing that Dow Chemical company is sold, and such as ASPUN TMThe fibre resin of series, Dow LLDPE 2500 (55 MI, 0.923 density), the EXACT that Dow LLDPE type 6808A (36 M1,0.940 density) and Exxon chemical company are sold TMThe low density polyethylene polymer of series is such as EXACT TM2003 (31 M1, density 0.921).
This homogeneous polymer composition can be preferably a polyethylene or a polyacrylic α-polyolefin homopolymer, perhaps is more preferably one and has at least one C 3-C 20α-polyolefin and/or C 4-C 18The ethene interpretation of diene.The homogeneous copolymerization system of ethene and propylene, 1-butylene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl isophthalic acid amylene and 1-octene is good especially.
Introducing in the recent period ethylene/alpha-polyolefin polymerization turns into required metallocenyl catalyst and has caused new ethene interpretation, the known generation that is called the homogeneous interpretation.
This can have some homogeneous in order to the homogeneous interpretation that forms fiber illustrated in this specification and prop up the key distribution.That is this polymer system comonomer wherein is distributed in the given interpretation molecule randomly has identical ethene/comonomer ratio person with wherein all substantially interpretation molecules in this interpretation.The isomorphism type of this polymer, be to be illustrated on the typical case, and be defined as this and have the percentage by weight of polymer molecule of comonomer content in the total mole of the intermediate value of 50 percentages comonomer content by SCBDI (short chain branch profile exponent) or CDB1 (composition distribution branch index).The CPBI of one polymer can be from the data of this skill known technology gained and calculate easily, for example, just as people such as Wild, at PolymerScience, Poly.Phys.Ed., the 20th rolls up in the 441st page (1982), numbers the 4th, 798 at United States Patent (USP), illustrated in No. 081, or as USP 5,008, illustrated temperature of lifting to example rises and washes out fractionating process (this specification will be abbreviated as " TREF ") in 204, those disclosure are to be merged in this specification by reference.The technology that it calculates CDBI, be explanation at USP5, in 322,728, and at USP 5,246, in 783, or number the 5th, 089 at United States Patent (USP), in No. 321, the disclosure that those are all is by with reference to being merged in this specification.The SCBDI or the CDB1 of used relevant homogeneous interpretation preferably are greater than about 30 percentages, particularly greater than about 50 percentages, 70 percentages or 90 percentages among the present invention.
Used homogeneous interpretation among the present invention, basically be lack one as the TREF technology record measure " high density " component (that is, this homogeneous ethylene/alpha-polyolefin interpretation does not comprise one and has the polymer component that degree of branching is less than or equal to 2 methyl/1000 carbon atoms).This homogeneous interpretation does not also comprise the short chain component component (that is those do not comprise and have the polymer component that degree of branching is equal to or greater than 30 methyl/1000 carbon atoms) of any height.
This is linear ethylene/alpha-polyolefin polymer and interpretation substantially, it also is the homogeneous interpretation, but be further to number the 5th in this manual as United States Patent (USP), 272, No. 236 and United States Patent (USP) number the 5th, define in 272, No. 872, its full content is to be merged in this specification by reference.Yet, these polymer system uniquenesses, it is owing to those excellent handlabilities and particular rheological properties matter and high fusion elasticity with to the anti-patience of melt fracture.These polymer can use the metallocene catalyst systems of this qualification geometry, successfully are produced in a continuous polymerization program.
Ethylene/alpha-polyolefin the interpretation of term " be substantially linear " mean its polymer backbone by about 0.01 long chain branches/1000 carbon atoms to about 3 long chain branches/1000 carbon atoms, preferably from about 0.01 long chain branches/1000 carbon atoms to about 1 chain component/1000 carbon atoms and particularly replace from about 0.05 long chain branches/1000 carbon atoms to about 1 long chain branches/1000 carbon atoms.
It is many at least carbon atoms that the interior total carbon atom of this comonomer subtracts two carbon atoms that long chain branches is defined as a chain length in this manual, for example, one is the long chain branches of the ethene interpretation of linear ethylene/octene substantially, be at least seven (7) carbon atoms long (that is 8 carbon atoms deduct 2 and equal 6 carbon atoms and add that equals seven carbon atom long chain branches length).This long chain branches can grow to length, and approximately the length with the skeleton of its polymer is identical.Long chain branches system uses 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscope to be determined, and is to use blue Dare method to come quantitatively (Macromol.Chem.Phys., C29 (2﹠amp; 3), the 285-297 page or leaf), those disclosure are to be merged in this specification by reference.Certainly, long chain branches will be distinguished mutually with short chain branch, and the latter forms because of merging comonomer individually, a so that short chain branch that is linear ethylene/octene polymer substantially for example, be that six carbon atom is long, and the long chain branches of its identical polymer is that at least seven carbon atoms are long.

Those peak load value scopes from 800g to up to 2400g.These are worth little many of typical PP sample.Use the pattern 2 under 136.6 ℃ (278), PP1 will produce the peak load of 4875g.Usually, its normalization peak load can increase along with temperature, calmodulin binding domain CaM with in conjunction with the increase of angle.With regard to the mixture of resin PE2 and 95 percentage PE1 and 5 percentage PE4, when with regard to temperature with regard to the PE2 when 114.4 ℃ (238 °F) to 116.1 ℃ (241 °F) and when temperature with regard to this mixture when 117.7 ℃ (244 °F) to 119.4 ℃ (247 °F), its peak load will reduce.This may be a factor of facilitating the variation of its rupture mechanism.The relatively demonstration in pairs of those samples, the bonded area of 24 percentages is than the peak load height of the bonded area of 16 percentages.Shown in preamble, it has significant effect in conjunction with angle to the actual bonded area above the sample.The 5th figure is that the PE2 resin is under different temperature and use the curve map of various regular peak loads in conjunction with pattern to temperature.Its peak load is to be normalized to 33g/m linearly 2(1oz/yd 2) basis weight because peak load is the force function that has of basis weight.
The 6th figure is that the PE1 resin is under different temperature and use the curve map of various percentage percentage elongations in conjunction with pattern to temperature.The percentage elongation of those PE nonwoven fabric, scope from 10 percentages to up to 95 percentages.Under 136.6 ℃ (278 °F), use pattern 2, the percentage elongation of PP only can reach to 31 percentages, and 37 percentages be following of arbitrary treatment conditions can reach to peak.The reduction of those binding site concentration will increase its percentage elongation significantly.In fact, resin PE2 under 114.4 ℃ (238 °F), in those binding site concentration from 4.60 * 10 5Pts/m 2Be reduced to 2.31 * 10 5Pts/m 2(from 297pts/in 2To 149pts/in 2) time, its percentage elongation almost can double.One of them exception is the resin of 95 percentage PE1 and 5 percentage PE4, and its percentage elongation demonstration does not have difference because of the reduction of those binding site concentration.This can be explained in conjunction with the more significant elastomeric character of the effect of pattern by PE4.Temperature control is very important.1.6 the temperature difference of ℃ (3) can have high reduction to percentage elongation 100 percentages.
The 7th figure system shows three embodiment of the curve of the relevant typical stress-strain of resin PE1.This sample system uses the PE1 resin under the temperature of 116.1 ℃ (241), 117.7 ℃ (244) and 119.4 ℃ (247), uses and makes in conjunction with pattern 3.When temperature increased, this peak load will increase.Under the maximum temperature of 119.4 ℃ (247), the percentage elongation of this fabric will reduce.And, the initial modulus that the initial modulus of the fabric that is produced down at 119.4 ℃ (247) is higher than at a lower temperature to be produced.This is the typical situation of all fabric samples.
The 8th figure is the typical plot of the relevant abrasion of PE1 resin to temperature.Usually, its data show that its percentage elongation is the function of all treatment variables.It is mutually related bonded area and the increase that combines angle will make the percentage elongation of this fabric increase.Usually, its scuff resistance is the function of temperature substantially, though those are in conjunction with between pattern, can see marked difference.This can be explained by its rupture mechanism.When its surface was rubbed, this fiber will be drawn out from this binding site.Because it is denuded due to the relevant rupture mechanism, its fine, soft fur amount above surface will rely on the yardstick that bond strength more is far more than its combination.The value that its abrasion is relevant, scope is from 0.48mg/cm 2Extremely greater than 1mg/cm 2Under 136.6 ℃ (278 °F), use PP sample, have 0.15mg/cm in conjunction with pattern 2 2Abrasion value, and less than more than 3 times of PE person.
The 9th figure shows the curve map of the relevant bending rigidity of PE2 (" FR ") to temperature.This is a typical curve map, and represents the trend found in other resin.The overhang of one high length is represented a hard fabric.And a high basis weight is a factor of facilitating hardness to increase, because this fabric when hanging at the ora terminalis place, can support bigger weight.The mean value of the overhang of this fabric on its patterned roller side direction and when downward is regarded as the relevant total overhang of individual sections fabric.The mean value of each can be obtained.Can think that this can represent the total hardness of this fabric better, because this fabric can be crooked on both direction during dressing.Each sample system measures four times by this way.
It can be observed those, and to have big be to have 20 ° in conjunction with the higher value of the pattern 2-5 of angle than having than those in conjunction with angle in conjunction with pattern 6-9.The bending rigidity of all PE samples, with regard to sample 3-7-119.4, its scope system is from its low 20 to one high 125mg*cm.These values are quite low so that a typical PP fabric has fr value more than the 200mg*cm.Resin PE2 is in the minimum hardness of demonstration of comparing with other resin under the same treatment condition.This may be because due to the low-density of this polymer.Its highest FR value is to obtain by PE3, and is attributable to a higher density polymer.Dose PE4 to FE1 and will produce a higher FR value.It may be by due to the contraction of the increase of fusion in its calmodulin binding domain CaM and/or this fiber and fabric.In conjunction with pattern, low bonded area, low sidewall angle and low binding site density show will produce minimum FR value about it.Reason it should be noted that low bonded area, Sidewall angles and binding site density can have influence on other character, that is, abrasion.So, because due to the low modulus of PE, its FR value may be come importantly not as other character.
Those, are tested by the hand sense of touch and to be assessed the hardness (ST) of fabric and the effect of its surperficial texture (GR) in conjunction with the cylinder pattern.12 members of people research group demarcate this two character with 1 to 15 calibration.Anchor sample (being used as a baseline) on providing as listed in the table 10.Under 119.4 ℃ (247 °F), each is used as sample in conjunction with the resin PE1 that pattern processes.Table 11 is taken passages out each mean value of demarcating in conjunction with relevant two hands of pattern.

Scanning electronic microscope (SEM) is used to the analyzing and processing condition to the nonwoven surface, in conjunction with the effect of periphery, cross section and rupture mechanism.Those treatment conditions show sense of touch and the intensity that can reach this fabric.This joint is discussed the relation between fabric face and its character, and also can determine that this rupture mechanism is the function of treatment conditions.
Arial view and profile system use following method to obtain:
1. the section of this fabric is by being placed between two paper, and this sample was placed liquid nitrogen about 1 minute in cutting, then is to do cutting with slasher perpendicular to this machine direction.
2. this sample is placed on above the platform with conduction band, its edge is lined with conductive graphite coating.
3.Denton vacuum Hi-Res 100 high-resolution cadmium spraying plating systems are used to apply this fabric, make it become the thick film of a 100-120 .
4. this sample system places in its sample compartment, and this compartment is evacuated to 1.3 * 10 5Pa (10 7Torr).
Can with 20Kev be used 5Kev because the problem of this electric charge accumulation above fabric face is arranged.
6. under various enlargement ratios, obtain micro-photograph.
7.Scion imaging software is made and is observed and measure this micro-photograph.
All tested samples are with the low enlargement ratio between a 60X and 100X, focus on this above binding site and do microphotograph.Because there is no significant surface differences between temperature, all photographs are taken from the sample that is lower than 1.6 ℃ of those sticky points (3).This temperature is 119.4 ℃ (247 °F) with regard to all samples, and except the resin PE2, it is at 119.4 ℃ (247 °F).All nine systems from resin PE1 in conjunction with pattern, be to be presented among the 10A-IOI figure.All binding sites are included in a big flat surfaces of central authorities, and it is to raise towards the edge.Pattern 1,6,7 and 8 comprises a big Sidewall angles entirely.This effect is remarkable during hardly as with other resin with the PE1 resin, and this perhaps is because its high melt index.This has the pattern of little Sidewall angles, will produce one and comprise more rounded binding site in the combination and how much of a less flat site.Because its profile with 20 ° of binding sites that Sidewall angles was produced is rounded, and will covers than preamble is described and be little surf zone, the space between each binding site then can be bigger.This can be because of the increase of the exposed areas of this fiber than large space, and gives and sense of touch that this fabric is soft.This is interrelated with its feel assessed information.On the contrary, less binding site surface coverage face will produce less winding fiber, and the intensity that will reduce fabric.This has seen in the previous tension force data.
Treatment conditions are at similar tension force and the fracture mechanism during denuding destructive testings such as test to the effect of bondedfibre fabric.There is three types fracture to take place.This fiber can be pulled outside in conjunction with scene, and ruptures in conjunction with the periphery place at it, or ruptures outside binding site.The micro-photograph of SEM also is used to determine the fracture mechanism of selected nonwoven sample.11A-C figure system shows the break embodiment of fracture mechanism of test period of tension force.Obviously, most treatment conditions will make polyethylene fabric rupture because of fiber is pulled away from a faint binding site.In the situation of some higher temperature, this combination system is by force to being enough to that fiber is ruptured in conjunction with the periphery place at it obviously.The PE4 resin of 5 percentages is added to the PE1 resin, will make its bond strength, under 119.4 ℃ (247 °F), increasing to is enough to make some fiber to rupture in conjunction with the periphery place at it.At this point and opinion, the evidence of two rupture mechanisms is arranged, those are included in fiber and are pulled away from binding site and fiber in its fracture in conjunction with the periphery place.
The analysis of the fracture mechanism that abrasion is caused does not show that it is at the sign in conjunction with the fracture of periphery place.12A-B figure shows two embodiment of the abrasion breaking junction chalaza that causes.Its thin silk ribbon shape band is the traces of its previous thermojunction chalaza.Even those in tension test because of fragile fiber at its sample that ruptures in conjunction with the periphery place, do not show identical rupture mechanism.This fabric can rupture because of the destruction of its binding site after abrasion.This phenomenon can explain why scuff resistance fails to reach to a peak value, and then as its toughness and percentage elongation, reduces along with the increase of its treatment temperature.Its scuff resistance only relies on its adhesion.
Just as showing that above embodiments of the invention can provide a kind of bondedfibre fabric with tensile strength, percentage elongation, abrasive resistance, bending rigidity and/or pliability of relative increase.Additional features that embodiments of the invention provided and advantage, the professional who can be this skill understands easily.
