It was possible to provide a woven or knitted fabric containing fibers.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The polybenzazole fiber according to the present invention refers to a fiber made of a polybenzazole polymer, and the polybenzazole (hereinafter also referred to as PBZ) refers to polybenzoxazole (hereinafter also referred to as PBO) or polybenzothiazole (hereinafter referred to as PBOZ). , PBT), or polybenzimidazole (hereinafter also referred to as PBI). In the present invention, PBO refers to a polymer containing an oxazole ring bonded to an aromatic group, and the aromatic group is not necessarily a benzene ring. Furthermore, PBO widely includes polymers composed of units of a plurality of oxazole rings bonded to poly (p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole) and aromatic groups. Similar considerations apply to PBT and PBI. Also included are mixtures, copolymers, block polymers of two or more polybenzazole polymers such as PBO, PBT and / or mixtures of PBI, block or random copolymers of PBO, PBT and PBI, and the like.

  The structural unit contained in the PBZ polymer is preferably selected from lyotropic liquid crystal polymers that form liquid crystals at a specific concentration in mineral acid. The polymer consists of monomer units described in structural formulas (a) to (f).

  The polybenzazole fiber is manufactured from a dope containing a PBZ polymer, and suitable solvents for preparing the dope include cresol and a non-oxidizing acid that can dissolve the polymer. Examples of suitable non-oxidizing acids include polyphosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid and high concentrations of sulfuric acid or mixtures thereof. Of these, polyphosphoric acid and methanesulfonic acid, particularly polyphosphoric acid are preferred.

  The polymer concentration in the dope is preferably at least about 7% by weight, more preferably at least 10% by weight, particularly preferably at least 14% by weight. The maximum concentration is limited by practical handling properties such as polymer solubility and dope viscosity. Due to their limiting factors, the polymer concentration usually does not exceed 20% by weight.

  In the present invention, suitable polymers or copolymers and dopes are synthesized by known methods. For example, Wolfe et al US Pat. No. 4,533,693 (1985.8.6), Sybert et al US Pat. No. 4,772,678 (1988.9.22), Harris US Pat. No. 4,847,350 (1989.7.11) or Gregory et al. U.S. Pat. No. 5,089,591 (1992.2.18). In summary, suitable monomers are heated in a non-oxidizing, dehydrating acid solution at a stepwise or constant rate of heating from about 60 ° C. to 230 ° C. under high-speed stirring and high shear conditions in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. It is made to react by raising.

  The dope thus obtained is extruded from the spinneret and stretched in space to form a filament. Suitable manufacturing methods are described in the aforementioned references and US Pat. No. 5,034,250. The dope exiting the spinneret enters the space between the spinneret and the washing bath. This space is commonly referred to as an air gap, but need not be air. This space needs to be filled with a solvent that does not react with the dope without removing the solvent, and examples thereof include air, nitrogen, argon, helium, and carbon dioxide.

  The filament after spinning is washed to avoid excessive stretching and a part of the solvent is removed. Then, it is further washed and appropriately neutralized with an inorganic base such as sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, and most of the solvent is removed. Washing here is compatible with the mineral acid dissolving the polybenzazole polymer, and the fiber or filament is brought into contact with a liquid that does not serve as a solvent for the polybenzazole polymer to remove the acid solvent from the dope. It is to be. Suitable cleaning liquids include water and mixtures of water and acid solvents.

Of course, the technical contents of the present invention are not limited to these.

  The method for containing these organic compounds in the yarn is not particularly limited, and can be contained in any stage of polymerization of polybenzazole or in the stage of polymer dope at the end of polymerization. For example, a method of adding an organic pigment at the same time as the raw material of polybenzazole, a method of adding the organic pigment at a stepwise or arbitrary temperature rising rate and reacting at any time, and a reaction at the end of the polymerization reaction A method of adding to the system and stirring and mixing is preferable.

  The greatest feature of the polybenzazole fiber used in the woven or knitted fabric according to the present invention is that the strength retention after 80 hours of treatment at 80 ° C. and 80% relative humidity is 80. % Or more. Preferably, it is 80 to 100%, further 82 to 100%, further 84 to 100%, further 85 to 100%, further 80 to 99%, further 80 to 98%, and further 84 to 98%. Since polybenzazole fibers have high molecular rigidity and little interaction between molecular chains, a kink band is generated in a direction perpendicular to the fiber axis direction when bending stress is applied to the yarn. Although the degree of generation of the kink band varies depending on the type of post-processing, the kink band is normally generated when the post-processing is performed. Further, a kink band is generated when the number of twists is increased simply by twisting the yarn. When polybenzazole fibers in which kink bands are generated are exposed to high temperatures and high humidity for a long time, there is a tendency for the strength to decrease due to exposure compared to the case without kink bands. By including the organic pigment, even when a kink band is generated, durability against high temperature and high humidity, that is, reduction in strength when exposed to high temperature and high humidity for a long time can be reduced. As a result, even after a yarn is damaged in a post-processing step such as a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a braid, a rope, and a cord and a kink band is generated on the yarn, it has excellent durability against high temperature and high humidity. As described above, the organic pigment has heat resistance of 200 ° C. or higher as described above, and dissolves in mineral acid. Preferably, the organic pigment has —N═ and / or NH— in its molecular structure. Pigment. More preferred are organic pigments of perinone and / or perylenes, phthalocyanines or quinacridones.

  The polybenzazole fiber used in the woven or knitted fabric according to the present invention desirably has a stoichiometric ratio of the inorganic base remaining in the fiber to the mineral acid of 0.8 to 1.4: 1. If the stoichiometric ratio between the inorganic base remaining in the fiber and the mineral acid is less than 0.8, the pH inside the yarn becomes extremely acidic, so that hydrolysis of the PBZ molecule proceeds and the strength tends to decrease. Become. Compared with the case where there is no kink band, this tendency becomes more remarkable in the polybenzazole fiber in which the kink band is generated, and the strength reduction is increased by being exposed to high temperature and high humidity for a long time. On the other hand, if the stoichiometric ratio between the inorganic base remaining in the fiber and the mineral acid exceeds 1.4, the pH inside the yarn becomes extremely basic, so that hydrolysis of the PBZ molecule proceeds and the strength decreases. It becomes easy to do. Compared with the case where there is no kink band, the tendency is more remarkable in the polybenzazole fiber in which the kink band is generated, and the strength reduction is increased by being exposed to high temperature and high humidity for a long time. From the above, the stoichiometric ratio of the inorganic base remaining in the fiber to the mineral acid is desirably 0.8 to 1.4: 1, more preferably 1.0 to 1.3: 1. It is desirable to achieve the above stoichiometric ratio in any part. Examples of the neutralization method using an inorganic base during washing include a guide oiling method, a showering method, and a dip method, but are not particularly limited.

As for the polybenzazole fiber used for the woven or knitted fabric according to the present invention, the content of the organic pigment in the fiber is preferably 2 to 8% by mass. If the content is less than 2% by mass, the expected effect by including the organic pigment in the yarn, that is, the durability after the kink band is generated in the yarn, specifically, high temperature and high humidity for a long time. The effect of suppressing the decrease in strength due to exposure is reduced. On the other hand, when the content exceeds 8% by mass, an increase in filament fineness and fineness spots are caused, and the initial yarn strength is lowered, which is not preferable. When the content is in the range of 2 to 8% by mass, the organic pigment is not a defect in the yarn, the initial strength of the fiber is not lowered, the spinnability at the time of spinning is good, and there is no yarn breakage. Good operability is maintained. This is presumed to be because the added pigment is dissolved in the mineral acid, so that it is also dissolved in the polymer dope, but the present invention is not limited to this consideration.
Preferably it is 3-6 mass%.

The polybenzazole fiber used in the woven or knitted fabric according to the present invention has a single yarn having an average diameter D of 5 to 22 μm, preferably 10 to 20 μm.
Moreover, the average intensity | strength in the measurement of yarn length 100mm is 4.5 GPa or more, Preferably it is 5.0-8.0 GPa.

  Furthermore, as described above, the polybenzazole fiber used in the woven or knitted fabric according to the present invention desirably contains an organic pigment in the fiber. Therefore, sufficient management is required for fiber diameter spots. The polybenzazole fiber according to the present invention desirably has a variation coefficient CV (standard deviation / average value) of 0.08 or less when the diameter of a single yarn is measured at intervals of 10 mm over a fiber length of 500 mm. If it exceeds 0.08, stress concentration occurs in a thin portion, and breakage tends to occur. Preferably it is 0.06 or less.

The woven or knitted fabric that is the subject of the present invention is also within the scope of the present invention in the form of a composite woven or knitted fabric combined with other fibers. Other fibers are natural fibers, organic fibers, metal fibers, inorganic fibers, mineral fibers, and the like. Further, the combination method is not particularly limited, and for woven fabrics, weaving, double weaving, ripstop, etc., for knitting, we have circular knitting, weft knitting, warp knitting, Russell knitting, etc. Is possible. Also, the fiber bundle constituting the woven or knitted fabric is not particularly limited, and monofilament, multifilament, twisted yarn, twisted yarn, covering yarn, spun yarn, check spun yarn, core-sheath structured yarn, braided cord, etc. are used. can do.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples. However, the present invention is not limited by the following examples, but may be implemented with appropriate modifications within a range that can meet the gist of the preceding and following descriptions. Of course, it is also possible and they are all included in the technical scope of the present invention.

(Durability evaluation method of polybenzazole fiber under high temperature and high humidity)
The durability at high temperature and high humidity was evaluated by the retention rate of the tensile strength after treatment with respect to the tensile strength before high temperature and high humidity storage treatment.
A sample after being subjected to high-temperature and high-humidity storage treatment in a thermo-hygrostat in a state where a sample twisted by a twisting method described above (state of S-twisting twist coefficient 6) is wound around a resin bobbin having a diameter of 10 cm A (cN / dtex) is a tensile strength measurement value obtained by carrying out a tensile test at room temperature, a sample subjected to twisting by the twisting method described above (state of S twist factor 6) The tensile strength measurement obtained by carrying out the tensile test was performed at room temperature, b (cN / dtex), and a was divided by b and multiplied by 100 to obtain the strength retention. For storage at high temperature and high humidity, Humidic Chamber 1G43M manufactured by Yamato Kagaku Co., Ltd. is used, completely shielded from light so that it does not enter the thermo-hygrostat, at 80 ° C and 80% relative humidity. For 240 hours. The tensile strength was measured with a tensile tester (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, model AG-50KNG) according to JIS-L1013.

(Durability evaluation method for woven and knitted fabric samples under high temperature and high humidity)
Evaluation of durability under high temperature and high humidity is performed in a test room in a standard condition (temperature: 20 ± 2 ° C, relative humidity: 65 ± 2%) after the sample is stored in a high temperature and humidity chamber at high temperature and high humidity. The sample was taken out and subjected to a tensile test within 30 minutes, and evaluated by the retention rate of the tensile strength after the treatment with respect to the tensile strength before the high temperature and high humidity storage treatment. For storage processing under high temperature and high humidity, Humidic Chamber 1G43M manufactured by Yamato Kagaku Co., Ltd. is used, completely shielded from light so that light does not enter into the thermo-hygrostat, at 80 ° C and 80% relative humidity.

The tensile strength of the woven fabric was measured according to JIS-L1096, and the tensile strength of the knitted fabric was measured with a tensile tester (manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation, model AG-50KNG) according to JIS-L1018.

(Residual phosphorus concentration, sodium concentration in polybenzazole fiber filament)
The residual phosphorus concentration in the filament was obtained by colorimetric analysis by the molybdenum blue method after wet decomposition of the sample. The sodium concentration in the filament was determined by atomic absorption method after carbonizing, ashing, and dissolving the sample into a 1.2N HCl solution.

(Measurement of fiber diameter of polybenzazole fiber)
The fiber diameter may be measured by either an optical technique or a mechanical technique such as a micrometer. However, a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a laser-type outer diameter measuring instrument, etc. are used because of the simplicity of the measurement work. The optical method is preferred. Moreover, in order to reflect the whole image of the fiber population, it is necessary to measure many single yarns. First, it is necessary to measure as many single yarns as possible, and at least 5% of the total number of filaments, more preferably 7% of the total number of filaments, should be measured. In many cases, the variation in the thickness of the polybenzazole fiber is larger in the yarn length direction than between the filaments. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a sufficient number of measurements in the yarn length direction. Therefore, measurement is performed over at least 500 mm, more preferably 750 mm or more in the yarn length direction, and the measurement interval at that time is 25 mm or less, more preferably 12 mm or less even when the interval is wide. If the measurement interval is long, the fiber diameter of the narrowed portion may be leaked from the measurement point. However, considering a realistic variation pattern, the amount of change in diameter is very small at a measurement interval of less than 5 mm. From this point of view, in the present invention, actual measurement of the single yarn diameter at intervals of 10 mm over the fiber length of 500 mm was adopted. The single yarn diameter was measured at a magnification of 5000 using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the standard deviation assuming the average value and normal distribution was calculated, and the coefficient of variation (CV) was calculated using the following formula. In addition, the measurement was performed after correcting the magnification of the scanning electron microscope using latex beads having a known diameter in advance.
CV = standard deviation of single yarn diameter [μm] / average value of single yarn diameter [μm]
