The specific embodiment
According to embodiment preferred, the present invention will be described with reference to accompanying drawing below.Express stereogram and the profile of thickness direction of an embodiment of nonwoven of the present invention at Fig. 1 (a) with (b).The nonwoven 10 of this embodiment is the nonwoven with the ground floor 11 that comprises a face and 2 layers of structure of the second layer 12 that comprises another face.Ground floor 11 is made up of the aggregate of fiber.On the other hand, the second layer 12 is made up of the aggregate with fiber variety classes that constitutes ground floor 11 and/or the fiber that mixes.Ground floor 11 is range upon range of each other and engage partly through a large amount of junction surfaces 13 with the second layer 12.Ground floor 11 and the second layer 12 are not to engage with their whole face conversely speaking.
When overlooking, the junction surface of the ground floor 11 and the second layer 12 13 is rounded and become point-like with the pattern arrangement of the shape that is staggered.Junction surface 13 is compacted as diagram through the effect of heat and/or pressure, thereby compares with other position of nonwoven 10, and it is big that less thick and density become.
In nonwoven 10, recess 14 is positioned at the position at junction surface 13.Mainly constitute protuberance 15 that fiber constitutes between recess 14 by ground floor 11.In ground floor 11 sides, formed concaveconvex shape thus by a large amount of protuberance 15 and a large amount of recesses 14.
On the other hand, in the second layer 12 sides, keeping tabular surface roughly between the junction surface 13.Therefore on the whole, formed its second layer 12 sides and had the structure of a large amount of jogs for roughly tabular surface and ground floor 11 sides as nonwoven 10.
In ground floor 11, it constitutes between fiber through heat fusing is bonding and has an abutment.Because it is bonding to have produced heat fusing between the formation fiber, thereby the surface of ground floor 11 is not easy to take place the balling-up of fiber.Fiber is not easy the advantage that balling-up brings, when with nonwoven 10 as for example with material that skin contact the time, seldom to skin generation physical stimulation.
Protuberance 15 has formed the state that enriches that its inside is full of fiber.The fiber that is full of in the protuberance 15 mainly is the formation fiber of ground floor 11.Because it is bonding to have produced heat fusing between the formation fiber of ground floor 11 as stated, be full of therefore that also to have produced heat fusing between the fiber of protuberance 15 bonding.
The invention is characterized in,, use the core-sheath-type composite fibre (being called the core shift composite fibre) of core shift as the formation fiber of ground floor 11.Expressed the cross-section structure of core shift composite fibre at Fig. 2 (a) with (b).The core shift composite fibre is made up of the core composition and the sheath composition that are made up of thermoplastic resin respectively.The core composition has constituted the core C of fiber.On the other hand, the sheath composition has constituted the S of sheath portion of fiber.The position of centre of gravity of core C and the S of sheath portion staggers, and promptly forms the core shift state.
Shown in Fig. 2 (a), core C is wrapped in the inside in fact by the S of sheath portion.Therefore the core composition that constitutes core C is not exposed to the surface of fiber.But; The surface that the core composition of formation core C is not exposed to fiber is not necessary among the present invention; As long as core C and the S of sheath portion have formed core sheath structure in fact, for example also can be such shown in Fig. 2 (b), a part of core composition is exposed to the surface of fiber.
The core shift composite fibre is owing to the position of centre of gravity of core C and the S of sheath portion staggers, so under nature, be lax crooked state.To be in the raw fibre of the core shift composite fibre of this state as ground floor 11; According to after the manufacturing approach stated when making nonwoven 10; Accident distinguishes that in protuberance 15, that kind most of as shown in Figure 1 in the core shift composite fibre is towards the roughly thickness direction of this protuberance 15.In protuberance 15, owing to the core shift composite fibre exists with above-mentioned state, so the nonwoven 10 of this embodiment has good liquid permeability.In detail, liquid flows down along the core shift composite fibre towards the roughly thickness direction of protuberance 15 easily, thereby the permeability of liquid improves.Its result, liquid is not easy to remain in the nonwoven 10.
Contrast with it; When the fiber in being full of protuberance 15 is not the core shift composite fibre; For example be under the situation of concentric core-sheath-type composite fibre, just as that kind of before in background technology, describing shown in Figure 6, fiber along the profile of the spherical protuberance of semicircle towards transverse direction roughly.
So-called " great majority in the core shift composite fibre are towards the roughly thickness direction of protuberance " is meant; When microscopic examination is used in the vertical section that cuts out protuberance 15; In the fiber that in field of view, exists, be benchmark with the radical, the fiber more than 50% is with respect to the above angle of inclined 50 degree.Concrete assay method is described below.The view data (size 254KB film forms JPG) of the microphotograph in the vertical section of protuberance 15 is put into the IMAGEPROPLUS as the プ ラ ネ ト ロ of Co., Ltd. Application/MEDIA CYBERNETICS manufactured of image analysis-instrumentation software.Show the view data of putting into, " counting/size " of the mensuration project on the designated software extracted 0.05~1.0cm out 2Big interfibrous image (except the appointment of size, at random extracting out) by software.An example of the interfibrous image of extracting out is as shown in Figure 3.Individually taking out the image of extracting out, is the angle that benchmark is measured each limit with the level.With this viewpoint definition is the angle of fiber.
Through using the formation fiber of core shift composite fibre as ground floor 11, the additional effect that can also play is that nonwoven 10 demonstrates soft hand feeling.It the reasons are as follows said.Just as described above, in ground floor 11, engage through heat fusing is bonding as its core shift composite fibre that constitutes fiber.Yet as described above, this core shift composite fibre is lax crooked state under nature.Therefore in protuberance 15, the quantity at the abutment between the fiber tails off.And in the core shift composite fibre, because the thin-walled part is more in as the sheath portion that makes composition melt bonded between the fiber, so even formed the abutment, the joint at this abutment also dies down.Consequently, the core shift composite fibre that is full of the inside of protuberance 15 becomes easy state because of the external force activity, so nonwoven 10 demonstrates soft hand feeling.
In addition, having known has a kind of like this fiber in the core-sheath-type composite fibre of core shift, and promptly because the difference of the percent thermal shrinkage of core composition and sheath composition is bigger, so these compositions produce contraction because of applying heat, show spiral helicine curling.Such fiber is commonly referred to as latent crimp fiber.But, in the employed in the present invention core shift composite fibre, do not comprise the core shift core-sheath-type composite fibre that shows the curling state of helical form.Even be that the core shift composite fibre that uses among the present invention is applied in heat and also can show spiral helicine curling, in ground floor 11, be lax crooked state.
Owing to use the formation fiber of core shift composite fibre, so protuberance 15 presents the special shape different with the protuberance P of the nonwoven in the past shown in Fig. 6 as ground floor 11.Particularly; Shown in Fig. 1 (b); In the protuberance 15 in the nonwoven 10 of this embodiment, its vertical section forms the shape of roughly trapezoidal or essentially rectangular, has the wall portion 16 that erects towards top roughly and links to each other with this wall portion 16 and the upper surface part 17 of general planar.Because protuberance 15 has formed aforesaid shape; Therefore this protuberance 15 can be revolted the compression that comes from its thickness direction and is not easy to be pressed to collapse; Even nonwoven 10 is being applied under the situation of compression stress, also can stably keep the concaveconvex shape of its ground floor 11 sides.
As stated, ground floor 11 contains the core shift composite fibre.At this moment, ground floor 11 can only be made up of the core shift composite fibre, also can except containing the core shift composite fibre, also contain other fiber.As other fiber, can enumerate out the fiber that for example constitutes by thermoplastic, polymeric materials such as polyester such as polyolefin such as polyethylene and polypropylene, PETG, polyamide.Also can use the core-sheath-type composite fibre or the parallel composite fiber that constitute in addition by above-mentioned thermoplastic, polymeric materials.Also have, can enumerate out hygroscopicity fibres such as artificial silk, cotton, hydrophily acrylic fiber etc.When ground floor 11 contained other fiber, the amount of other fiber was preferably 5~50 weight % of the weight of ground floor, is preferably 10~30 weight % especially.
In the core shift composite fibre that ground floor 11 is contained, the fusing point of the formation resin of the S of sheath portion is lower than the fusing point of the formation resin of core C.The not special restriction of the kind of core shift composite fibre.To the also not special restriction of the thickness of fiber, select the core shift composite fibre of suitable thickness according to the concrete purposes of nonwoven 10.For example when nonwoven 10 was used as the face sheet of absorbent commodity, preferably using thickness was the core shift composite fibre about 1~30dtex.
The preferred especially combination of the formation resin of the formation resin of the core C in the core shift composite fibre and the S of sheath portion is, use polyester resin as the formation resin of core C, use the combination of polyolefin resin as the formation resin of the S of sheath portion.Because polyester resin is the higher material of elasticity, thus with its core C as the core shift composite fibre, and according to after the method stated when making nonwoven 10, in protuberance 15, the great majority in the core shift composite fibre are roughly towards the thickness direction of this protuberance 15.In addition, protuberance 15 resistances come from the compression of its thickness direction and are not easy to be pressed to collapse.Particularly as mylar, preferably use PTT (below be also referred to as PTT) resinoid, PETG resinoid, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resinoid.Wherein, especially preferably using the highest resin of elasticity is the PTT resinoid.
As the PTT resinoid, can enumerate out mixture of for example homopolymerization PTT resinoid, copolymerization PTT resinoid or these resins and other polyester resin etc.As the resinoid copolymer composition of copolymerization PTT,, can use M-phthalic acid, butanedioic acid, adipic acid etc. as sour composition.In addition,, can use 1,4-butanediol, 1,6-hexylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol, polyoxymethylene glycol (polyoxymethyleneglyco1) etc. as pure composition.The consumption of copolymer composition is preferably below the 10 weight % with respect to the resinoid weight of PTT.In addition, other polyester resin as above-mentioned can use for example PETG and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) etc.The consumption of this other polyester resin is preferably below the 50 weight % with respect to the weight of above-mentioned mixture.
As with the polyolefin resin of the formation sheath S of portion of PTT resinoid that constitutes core C and usefulness, for example can enumerate out acrylic resin, high-density polyethylene resin, medium density polyethylene resin, ldpe resin, straight chain shape ldpe resin, polymethylpentene resin, gather the copolymer resins of 1-butylene resin and above-mentioned resin etc.In addition, also can use unsaturated carboxylic acids such as the polymerizable monomer that will constitute above-mentioned resin and acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid and their ester, acid anhydrides to carry out copolymerization and resin of obtaining etc.In addition, can also use the mixture of above-mentioned various polyolefin resin and other resin.As other resin, can use for example polyester resin and polystyrene resins etc.The consumption of this other resin is preferably below the 30 weight % with respect to the weight of above-mentioned mixture.
In addition; According to above-mentioned patent documentation 2; Use the formation resin of PTT (PTT) resinoid, use polyolefin resin to curl as the core shift core-sheath-type composite fibre of the formation resin of the S of sheath the portion wavy curling and/or helical form appropriate owing to the heat that is applied in set point of temperature shows as core C.But, consider flexibility and the bulkiness of protuberance 15, the permeability of liquid, the said core shift composite fibre that uses in this embodiment does not comprise and shows the fiber that helical form is curled as stated.
Contain the fiber after the thermal contraction in the second layer 12 of the nonwoven 10 of this embodiment.Fiber after the so-called thermal contraction is meant that the heat-shrinkable fiber becomes the state of contraction owing to the heat that is applied in set point of temperature.Also comprise curling in shrinking in addition.As the fiber after the thermal contraction that contains in the second layer 12, preferably owing to the heat that is applied in set point of temperature shows curling fiber (below be called crimped fibre).This is because in the second layer 12 when containing crimped fibre, can give the retractility of nonwoven 10 on its in-plane.From this viewpoint, as crimped fibre, the preferred use is the fiber that the three-dimensional spiral shape curls.Preferred especially the use is the potential crimping property fiber that the three-dimensional spiral shape curls.The potential crimping property fiber for example is made up of the core shift core-sheath-type composite fibre or the parallel composite fiber that are composition with two kinds of different thermoplastic, polymeric materials of shrinkage factor.As its example, can enumerate out the fiber of putting down in writing among JP9-296325A and the JP2759331B.As the example of two kinds of different thermoplastic, polymeric materials of shrinkage factor, can enumerate out the combination of ethylene-propylene random copolymer (EP) and polypropylene (PP).The potential crimping property fiber is preferably about 1~7dtex in the fiber number that shows before curling.
The second layer 12 can be made up of the fiber after 100% thermal contraction, also can contain other fiber.As other fiber, for example can enumerate out in contraction and begin under the temperature fiber of not thermal contraction in fact as the heat-shrinkable fiber of the raw material of the second layer 12.Has heat-shrinkable although specifically can enumerate out, the fiber that begins under the temperature fiber of not thermal contraction in fact and do not have heat-shrinkable in fact in the contraction of above-mentioned heat-shrinkable fiber.During fiber beyond the fiber after containing thermal contraction in the second layer 12, the amount of the fiber after the thermal contraction is preferably more than the 50 weight % with respect to the weight of the second layer 12, is preferably 70~90 weight % especially.
The mass area ratio of the nonwoven 10 of this embodiment depends on the concrete purposes of nonwoven 10, and for example when nonwoven 10 was used as the face sheet of absorbent commodity, mass area ratio was preferably 20~200g/m 2, be preferably 50~100g/m especially 2At this moment, the mass area ratio of ground floor 11 is preferably 10~100g/m 2, be preferably 25~50g/m especially 2The mass area ratio of the second layer 12 is preferably 10~100g/m 2, be preferably 25~50g/m especially 2In addition, when with nonwoven 10 during as the face sheet of for example absorbent commodity, its thickness is preferably 1.0~5.0mm, is preferably 1.5~3.0mm especially.At this moment, the thickness of ground floor 11 is preferably 0.5~3.0mm, is preferably 1.0~2.0mm especially, and the thickness of the second layer 12 is preferably 0.5~2.0mm, is preferably 0.5~2.0mm especially.
The thickness of nonwoven 10 is measured with following method.At first, nonwoven 10 is cut into the size of 50mm * 50mm, with it as measuring sheet.Measuring on the platform, placing size and measure the plate of the big 10g of sheet than this.The datum mark A of set positions with the upper surface of the plate under this state for measuring.Then, take away plate, measure sheet measuring to place on the platform, and placing plate more above that.With the set positions of the upper surface of the plate under this state is B.Obtain the thickness of nonwoven 10 by the difference of A and B.Measuring instrument uses laser displacement measurement appearance (the CCD laser displacement sensor LK-080 that KEYENCE Co., Ltd. produces), also can use the thickness gauge of dial indicator formula.But, under the situation of used thickness appearance, should be with the weight of the detection power of measuring instrument and plate at 0.4cN/cm 2Pressure under regulate.
The thickness of the ground floor 11 and the second layer 12 is measured with following method.At first, downcutting length and width from nonwoven 10 is the test film of 30mm * 30mm.Then, use operating direction (flow direction) almost parallel when making the fiber assembly that ground floor uses and make cutting plane through the line at junction surface 3.Obtain the enlarged photograph of this section with high-power microscope (KEYENCE Co., Ltd. produce VH-8000) etc.Obtain the maximum ga(u)ge of ground floor 11 according to the magnification ratio of enlarged photograph, it as the first fibrolaminar thickness (t1), measured the thickness of the second layer 12 in the maximum ga(u)ge location of ground floor 11, with it as the second fibrolaminar thickness (t2).That is, on the same straight line that the thickness direction along three-dimensional nonwoven extends, measure the thickness of the ground floor 11 and the second layer 12.In addition, the thickness at junction surface (t3) is also likewise measured the height from the upper surface at junction surface to lower surface with t1, t2.Also have, also can use this assay method to measure the thickness of nonwoven 10.
The following method of nonwoven 10 preferred employings of this embodiment is made.Make first fiber assembly and second fiber assembly that constitute the ground floor 11 and the second layer 12 at first, respectively.As this fiber assembly, can use for example fleece or nonwoven.Nonwoven adopts for example manufacturings such as hot blast method, hot-rolling method (heat embossing method), air lay method, meltblown.Fleece utilizes for example carding machine manufacturing.Particularly as first fiber assembly, melt bonded nonwoven is a hot blast method nonwoven through blowing of hot blast between the preferred use formation fiber, as second fiber assembly, preferably uses fleece.Contain above-mentioned core shift composite fibre in first fiber assembly.Although it is the orientation of this core shift composite fibre also depends on the manufacturing approach of fiber assembly, general roughly towards the in-plane orientation of fiber assembly.In addition, contain the heat-shrinkable fiber that is in the preceding state of thermal contraction in second fiber assembly.In addition; When first fiber assembly that is contained when the core shift composite fibre is hot blast method nonwoven; This core shift composite fibre is owing to be the state of core shift; So compare with concentric composite fibre, the abutment quantity of the bonding core shift composite fibre that produces of heat fusing is few, and the bond strength at this abutment is low.
Then, overlapping first fiber assembly on second fiber assembly engages their patterns according to the rules partly.As long as the method that both are engaged can form the junction surface 13 that thickness reduces in the duplexer of two fiber assemblies, just can make in all sorts of ways.Preference such as heat embossing or ultrasonic wave embossed.Shown in Fig. 1 (a), junction surface 13 can be separate diffusing point-like, also can be linearity or curve-like (comprising continuous wave shape wave etc.), clathrate, zigzag shape etc.The shape at each junction surface when junction surface 13 is configured to loose point-like can be arranged to shape arbitrarily such as circle, triangle, quadrangle.
First fiber assembly and second fiber assembly to after engaging apply heat, make the heat-shrinkable filament contraction that contains in second fiber assembly.When the heat-shrinkable fiber is the potential crimping property fiber, make its performance curl and shrink.Owing to shrink, the formation fiber of second fiber assembly between junction surface 13 produces and shrinks, and the fibre density of second fiber assembly uprises.Be accompanied by this contraction, the formation fiber of first fiber assembly between junction surface 13 is that the core shift composite fibre has been lost the place to go of past in-plane and moved to thickness direction.Thus, protuberance between the junction surface 13 forms the low bulk protuberance 15 of fibre density.In addition, i.e. 13 the position at the junction surface between protuberance 15 forms the high recess 14 of fibre density.
In first fiber assembly, owing to the second fiber assembly thermal contraction makes this core shift composite fibre when the thickness direction of first fiber assembly moves, this core shift composite fibre is arranged along this thickness direction again.Its reason be owing to the abutment quantity of the bonding core shift composite fibre that produces of heat fusing in first fiber assembly is few, and the bond strength at this abutment is low as stated.Its result, in protuberance 15, the great majority in the core shift composite fibre are towards the roughly thickness direction of this protuberance 15.In addition, the shape in the vertical section of protuberance 15 becomes the shape of roughly trapezoidal or essentially rectangular, have towards the wall portion 16 that erects of top roughly with link to each other with this wall portion 16 and the upper surface part 17 of general planar.Like this, the surface that has obtained the ground floor side is the nonwoven 10 of the structure that increases from ground floor 11 sides towards the second layer 12 sides of concaveconvex shape and fibre density.The manufacturing approach write up of above-mentioned nonwoven is in for example the applicant's previous application CN1348026A and CN1509864A.
In addition, the core shift composite fibre that contains in first fiber assembly might show because making the temperature of the second fiber assembly thermal contraction and curl and contraction.But; As stated; Consider flexibility and the bulkiness of protuberance 15, the permeability of liquid; Therefore it is curling that this core shift composite fibre is shown, and it is above and be lower than the curling performance temperature of the core shift composite fibre that contains in first fiber assembly that the heat shrink temperature of second fiber assembly is preferably the heat shrink temperature of the heat-shrinkable fiber that contains in second fiber assembly.
The nonwoven 10 that obtains as stated can be used for the face sheet, surgery of various absorbent commodities such as sanitary napkin or underpants back boxing, disposable diaper for example with various uses such as clothing class, cleaning sheet materials.When nonwoven 10 is particularly useful as the face sheet of absorbent commodity, can obtain the good and wearing comfort excellent absorption property article of skin sense of touch.When nonwoven 10 is used as face sheet,, preferably dispose with the mode that user's skin contacts according to the ground floor side from the better viewpoint of skin sense of touch.
According to embodiment the present invention is described in further detail below.But scope of the present invention does not receive the restriction of these embodiment.
