Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hybrid yarn for producing molded articles comprising a thermoplastic matrix and reinforcing fibers embedded therein.
  • a hybrid yarn is one such yarn comprising at least two different types of fibers.
  • special hybrid yarns are known, which are suitable for the production of molded parts with a thermoplastic matrix and with embedded reinforcing fibers.
  • a shaped part is understood to mean a workpiece which, after its completion, remains in a structural shape predetermined by the manufacturing process.
  • a hybrid yarn which contains both thermoplastic matrix fibers and reinforcing fibers is first processed into a textile fabric.
  • the reinforcing fibers have a higher specific tensile strength and a higher melting or decomposition temperature than the thermoplastic matrix fibers.
  • This textile fabric is then placed in a mold, such as a press, and heated, so that the thermoplastic matrix fibers, but not the reinforcing fibers, melt.
  • a uniform thermoplastic liquid with embedded reinforcing fibers which assumes the shape predefined by the molding tool, arises from the originally discrete thermoplastic matrix fibers.
  • thermoplastic matrix fibers After cooling and solidification, the now consolidated thermoplastic matrix fibers form a uniform thermoplastic matrix in which the reinforcing fibers are embedded.
  • a molded part is produced whose mechanical properties are superior to the properties of the two components. In particular, there is a particularly good ratio of strength and weight. Nevertheless, there is a need for further improved moldings.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid yarn which enables the production of improved molded articles with a thermoplastic matrix and with reinforcing fibers embedded therein.
  • a hybrid yarn of the type mentioned at the outset in that it comprises a core consisting essentially of staple fibers arranged in a straight line in a longitudinal direction of the hybrid yarn and a jacket consisting essentially of staple fibers wound around the core in a helical manner, wherein the staple fibers forming the core and the staple fibers forming the sheath each consist of an intimate mixture of thermoplastic matrix fibers and reinforcing fibers.
  • the hybrid yarn according to the invention comprises a core and a jacket arranged around the core.
  • Both the core and the sheath consist at least essentially of staple fibers.
  • staple fibers are meant single fibers which are limited in their length.
  • the sheath can have such a high number of staple fibers per unit length that the sheath forms a closed layer through which the staple fibers of the core are completely covered.
  • such a small number of staple fibers per unit length can be provided in the jacket that the staple fibers of the core remain at least partially visible through spaces between the staple fibers of the jacket.
  • Formed from hybrid fibers containing staple fibers have higher strength transverse to the longitudinal direction of the yarns, as such moldings, which are made of continuous fibers, also called filaments, existing hybrid yarns.
  • the cohesion of the individual layers can thus be improved in the case of molded parts which are produced from textile fabrics arranged in layers.
  • hybrid yarns with staple fibers have a smaller void fraction than hybrid yarns with continuous fibers, which reduces the risk of undesired air pockets during molding of the molded article, ie when consolidating the textile fabric. In this way, the strength of the molded part is improved.
  • textile fabrics made from staple fiber-containing hybrid yarns are more drapeable than their filament counterparts. This facilitates the wrinkle-free insertion of the textile fabric into the mold, at the same time reducing the risk of damage to the structure of the textile fabric. In this way, the manufacturing cost of the molding can be reduced.
  • more complex shaped molded parts can be produced from textile fabrics, since the textile fabrics can be better applied to the contour of the molding tool.
  • both the core and the sheath of the hybrid yarn consists of staple fibers, the above-mentioned advantages that can be achieved by using staple fibers can be maximally utilized.
  • the linear arrangement of the staple fibers of the core in the longitudinal direction of the hybrid yarn causes the later molded part in the longitudinal direction of the hybrid yarn, a higher strength, in particular a higher tensile strength, than when using conventional hybrid yarns, in which the fibers over the entire cross section twisted, would be possible.
  • the reason for this is that in the molded part, a substantial proportion of the reinforcing fibers, namely the reinforcing fibers of the core of the hybrid yarn, runs parallel to one another in the longitudinal direction of the hybrid yarn.
  • the molded part can better withstand mechanical stresses. In this way, the ratio of mechanical strength and weight of the molded part can be improved.
  • hybrid yarn according to the invention under certain conditions (rotation coefficient, yarn count, etc.) may have a lower strength than a corresponding hybrid yarn, in which the fibers are uniformly twisted over the entire cross section, but this is secondary, since the strength of the molded part inter alia the consolidation of the thermoplastic matrix fibers is increased and therefore substantially independent of the strength of the hybrid yarn.
  • the strength of the hybrid yarn must be at least so high that a further processing to a textile fabric and on to a molded part is possible. This necessary strength is ensured in the case of the hybrid yarn according to the invention in that the staple fibers forming the sheath are wound helically around the core and consequently twisted.
  • the reinforcing fibers contained in the sheath thereby improve the strength of the later molded part transversely to the longitudinal direction of the hybrid yarn raised therein, in comparison with those shaped parts which are manufactured from hybrid fibers consisting of continuous fibers.
  • the cohesion of the individual layers can be further improved in the case of molded parts which are produced from textile fabrics arranged in layers.
  • the staple fibers forming the core each consist of an intimate mixture of thermoplastic matrix fibers and reinforcing fibers.
  • An intimate mixture of fibers of different types is understood here as meaning a mixture in which a substantially homogeneous mixture is present at the level of the individual fibers. This means that the fibers of the various types are mixed so that groupings of exclusively identical fibers essentially no longer occur.
  • the intimate mixture or the intimate mixtures can be done even before the actual formation of the hybrid yarn.
  • the use of staple fibers facilitates the production of uniform mixtures, which can be produced, for example, with a spinning preparation machine, for example with a mixing machine or a doubling section.
  • the use of intimate mixtures ensures that the thermoplastic matrix fibers and the reinforcing fibers are homogeneously distributed in the textile fabric produced from the hybrid yarn. In this way it can be achieved that the reinforcing fibers are completely wetted during melting of the thermoplastic matrix fibers, so that the interactions between the thermoplastic matrix and the reinforcing fibers are maximized in the later molding by an improved cohesive connection, so that a mechanically highly resilient molding with low Weight is created.
  • the volume-related proportion of the reinforcing fibers in a said intimate mixture is at least 40%, preferably at least 45%, particularly preferably at least 50%. This makes it possible to produce a molded part with particularly high strength from the hybrid yarn.
  • the volume-related proportion of the thermoplastic matrix fibers in a said intimate mixture is at least 20%, preferably at least 30%, particularly preferably at least 35%.
  • the staple fibers forming the core and the staple fibers forming the sheath correspond in terms of their said intimate mixture.
  • the proportion of the thermoplastic matrix fibers at the core is equal to the proportion of the thermoplastic matrix fibers in the sheath
  • the proportion of the reinforcing fibers at the core is equal to the proportion of the reinforcing fibers in the sheath.
  • the thermoplastic matrix fibers in the core and the cladding correspond in terms of their material and their dimensions as well as the reinforcing fibers in the core and the cladding. In this way, the production of moldings is simplified, since so the core and the shell of a starting mixture can be produced.
  • the sum of the volume-related proportion of the thermoplastic matrix fibers and the volume-related proportion of the reinforcing fibers on the hybrid yarn is at least 90%, preferably at least 95%, particularly preferably at least 98%.
  • the remaining volume fractions can be attributed, for example, to a size or adhesion promoter.
  • a size is understood to mean a typically viscous coating which protects the hybrid yarn, in particular during further processing into a textile fabric, against mechanical effects.
  • an adhesion promoter is understood to mean a coating which improves the cohesive connection between matrix and reinforcing fibers which is produced during the melting and cooling of the thermoplastic matrix.
  • the staple fibers forming the core and / or the staple fibers forming the sheath have a length of at least 2.5 cm, preferably of at least 5 cm, more preferably of at least 10 cm and / or a length of at most 25 cm , preferably of at most 20 cm, more preferably of at most 15 cm, on.
  • Such staple lengths lead to particularly solid moldings.
  • such staple fibers can be produced and processed using conventional machines.
  • the thermoplastic matrix fibers have a fineness-related maximum tensile force of at least 20 cN / tex, preferably of at least 30 cN / tex, more preferably of at least 50 cN / tex.
  • the maximum tensile force is that tensile force at which a fiber just barely ruptures. In this way it can be ensured that the matrix whose specific maximum tensile force corresponds to the fineness-related maximum tensile force of the thermoplastic fibers, in particular in the finished molded part, transversely to adjacent reinforcing elements. fibers can absorb mechanical stresses occurring, which further improves the load capacity of the molded part.
  • the thermoplastic matrix fibers comprise polyurethane fibers (in particular fibers of PU), polyamide fibers (in particular fibers of PA), polyether ketone fibers (in particular fibers of PAEK and of its derivatives, in particular PEEK, PEK, PEEEK, PEEKEK, PEKK), polypropylene fibers (in particular PP fibers), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene fibers (in particular ABS fibers) and / or polyester fibers (in particular fibers from PES and from its derivatives, in particular PBT, PC, PET, PEN).

  • the reinforcing fibers have a fineness-related maximum tensile force of at least 100 cN / tex, preferably of at least 150 cN / tex, more preferably of at least 200 cN / tex.
  • the molded part produced therefrom can absorb particularly high mechanical loads, in particular in the fiber direction.
  • the reinforcing fibers comprise glass fibers, carbon fibers and / or aramid fibers.
  • Such materials meet the requirements of reinforcing fibers in particular with regard to their strength, are still inexpensive and easy to process. But there are also other high modulus fibers possible

  • the hybrid yarn generally has good strength, which makes it possible to keep the proportion of staple fibers in the sheath based on the total staple fibers low. Conversely, so the proportion of staple fibers in the core can be increased based on the total staple fibers, which is the strength of the subsequent molding useful.
  • the hybrid yarn has a total titer of at least 100 dtex, preferably of at least 150 dtex, more preferably of at least 200 dtex, and / or of at most 15000 dtex, preferably of at most 12000 dtex, more preferably of at most 10000 dtex, on.
  • Hybrid yarns having a total titer in the ranges mentioned are particularly suitable for the production of textile fabrics. So they usually have the required strength for further processing. Nevertheless, it is also possible to produce thin-walled molded parts from the textile fabrics obtained therefrom. If thicker-walled molded parts are to be produced, then several of the textile fabrics thus obtained can be arranged in layers and in particular be consolidated together.

  • Hybrid yarns with the mentioned values of the tendency to curl can be processed particularly well.
  • textile fabrics produced therefrom can be inserted into a mold in a simple and wrinkle-free manner.
  • the hybrid yarn is produced by means of an air-spinning process.
  • an air spinning process a substantially untwisted sliver is stretched to the desired fineness and passed through an air stream which gives the drawn sliver a false twist.
