Description

  The present invention is a polyester knitted fabric including a polyester filament yarn having a single fiber diameter of 10 to 1000 nm, which not only exhibits a texture unique to ultrafine fibers, but also does not impair the original stretchability of the knitted fabric and is processable. Further, the present invention relates to a polyester knitted fabric excellent in handleability, a manufacturing method thereof, and a textile product.

Conventionally, polyester fibers typified by polyethylene terephthalate fibers are excellent in mechanical properties, thermal properties, chemical resistance, and the like, and thus have been used in a wide range of fields including clothing.
On the other hand, in applications such as apparel and inner apparel, especially sports apparel, in addition to functional requirements, lightness, compactness, touch and comfort when worn, etc. are required. Fiber has been proposed. For example, by making synthetic fibers such as polyester into nanofibers, it becomes possible to impart textures and functions that could not be obtained with conventional fibers, and they are being developed extensively (for example, patent documents) 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, and Patent Document 4).

  However, when the knitted fabric is knitted using nanofibers, the fiber stiffness is small because the single fiber diameter is very small.As a result, the original stretchability of the knitted fabric is lacking, and the quality is deteriorated due to significant shrinkage. There was a problem that workability and handling were bad, such as winding around a dyeing machine. As a result, there is also a problem that the unique texture of the nanofiber is impaired.

  As a result of diligent study to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventor is a core-sheath type composite yarn in which super fine fibers are arranged in a sheath portion, while a polyester filament yarn having a specific single fiber diameter is arranged in a core portion. By configuring the knitted fabric, it has been found that a polyester knitted fabric that not only exhibits the texture unique to ultra-fine fibers but also does not impair the original stretchability of the knitted fabric and is excellent in workability and handleability, Furthermore, the present invention has been completed by intensive studies.

It is done.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
First, in the polyester filament yarn A (hereinafter, also referred to as “nanofiber”), the single fiber diameter (diameter of the single fiber) is within a range of 10 to 1000 nm (preferably 100 to 800 nm). It is essential. When the single fiber diameter is converted into a single fiber fineness, it corresponds to 0.000001 to 0.01 dtex. When the single fiber diameter is smaller than 10 nm, the fiber strength is lowered, which is not preferable for practical use. On the contrary, when the single fiber diameter is larger than 1000 nm, the knitted fabric may not exhibit the texture unique to the ultrafine fibers, which is not preferable. Here, when the cross-sectional shape of the single fiber is an atypical cross section other than the round cross section, the diameter of the circumscribed circle is defined as the single fiber diameter. The single fiber diameter can be measured by photographing the cross section of the fiber with a transmission electron microscope.

  In the polyester filament yarn A, the number of filaments is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 500 or more (more preferably 2000 to 10,000) in order to obtain a texture peculiar to ultrafine fibers. The total fineness of the polyester filament yarn A (the product of the single fiber fineness and the number of filaments) is preferably in the range of 5 to 150 dtex.

  The fiber form of the polyester filament yarn A is not particularly limited, but is preferably a long fiber (multifilament yarn). The cross-sectional shape of the single fiber is not particularly limited, and may be a known cross-sectional shape such as a circle, a triangle, a flat shape, or a hollow shape. In addition, normal air processing and false twist crimping may be applied.

  The type of polymer forming the polyester filament yarn A is not particularly limited as long as it is a polyester polymer. Examples thereof include polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polylactic acid, and polyester obtained by copolymerizing a third component. Preferably exemplified. Such polyester may be material recycled or chemically recycled polyester. Furthermore, the polyester obtained using the catalyst containing the specific phosphorus compound and titanium compound which are described in Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2004-270097 and 2004-21268 may be sufficient. In the polymer, a fine pore forming agent, a cationic dye dyeing agent, an anti-coloring agent, a heat stabilizer, a fluorescent whitening agent, a matting agent, a coloring agent may be added as necessary within the range not impairing the object of the present invention. 1 type (s) or 2 or more types of an agent, a hygroscopic agent, and inorganic fine particles may be contained.

  On the other hand, it is important that the polyester filament yarn B has a single fiber diameter in the range of 1 to 20 μm. When the single fiber diameter is smaller than 1 μm, the original stretchability of the knitted fabric is impaired and the workability and handleability may be deteriorated, as in the case where the knitted fabric is composed of only ultrafine fibers. On the contrary, if the single fiber diameter is larger than 20 μm, the peach touch-like unique texture of the ultrafine fiber may be impaired, which is not preferable. Here, when the cross-sectional shape of the single fiber is an atypical cross section other than the round cross section, the diameter of the circumscribed circle is defined as the single fiber diameter. The single fiber diameter can be measured by photographing the cross section of the fiber with a transmission electron microscope, as described above.

  In the polyester filament yarn B, the number of filaments is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of 1 to 300. The fiber form of the polyester filament yarn B is not particularly limited, but is preferably a long fiber (multifilament yarn). The cross-sectional shape of the single fiber is not particularly limited, and may be a known cross-sectional shape such as a circle, a triangle, a flat shape, or a hollow shape. In addition, normal air processing and false twist crimping may be applied.

  The type of polymer forming the polyester filament yarn B is not particularly limited as long as it is a polyester polymer, such as polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polylactic acid, polyester copolymerized with a third component, etc. Is preferably exemplified. Such polyester may be material recycled or chemically recycled polyester. Furthermore, the polyester obtained using the catalyst containing the specific phosphorus compound and titanium compound which are described in Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2004-270097 and 2004-21268 may be sufficient. In particular, a copolyester is particularly preferable in that it has a high boiling water shrinkage as described later. In the polymer, a fine pore forming agent, a cationic dye dyeing agent, an anti-coloring agent, a heat stabilizer, a fluorescent whitening agent, a matting agent, a coloring agent may be added as necessary within the range not impairing the object of the present invention. 1 type (s) or 2 or more types of an agent, a hygroscopic agent, and inorganic fine particles may be contained.

  In the polyester filament yarn A and the polyester filament yarn B, the number of fibers is preferably one, but a plurality of combinations may be used. For example, a composite yarn in which an elastic fiber yarn made of polyurethane fiber or polyether ester fiber and a polyester fiber yarn are mixed by air using an interlace air nozzle or the like, or a polyester yarn around the elastic fiber yarn It may be a composite yarn covered with a strip or a composite yarn with spun yarn.

  The polyester knitted fabric of the present invention includes a core-sheath type composite yarn in which the polyester filament yarn A is disposed in a sheath portion, while the polyester filament yarn B is disposed in a core portion. As described above, the ultrafine fibers having a single fiber diameter of 10 to 1000 nm are arranged in the sheath portion, and the polyester filament having the single fiber diameter in the range of 1 to 20 μm is arranged in the core portion. In addition to exhibiting a unique texture, the knitted fabric has a predetermined rigidity, so that the original stretchability of the knitted fabric is not impaired, and the workability and handleability are excellent.

  The polyester knitted fabric of the present invention can be produced, for example, by the following production method. First, a sea-island type composite fiber (a fiber for polyester filament yarn A) formed of a sea component and an island component composed of polyester and having a diameter of 10 to 1000 nm is prepared. As such a sea-island type composite fiber, a sea-island type composite fiber multifilament (100 to 1500 islands) disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-2364 is preferably used.

  That is, as the sea component polymer, polyester, polyamide, polystyrene, polyethylene and the like having good fiber forming properties are preferable. For example, as an easily soluble polymer in an alkaline aqueous solution, polylactic acid, an ultra-high molecular weight polyalkylene oxide condensation polymer, a polyethylene glycol compound copolymer polyester, a copolymer polyester of polyethylene glycol compound and 5-sodium sulfonic acid isophthalic acid may be used. Is preferred.

Is preferred.

  On the other hand, the island component polymer is preferably a polyester such as a fiber-forming polyethylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polylactic acid, or a polyester obtained by copolymerizing a third component. In the polymer, a fine pore forming agent, a cationic dye dyeing agent, an anti-coloring agent, a heat stabilizer, a fluorescent whitening agent, a matting agent, a coloring agent may be added as necessary within the range not impairing the object of the present invention. 1 type (s) or 2 or more types of an agent, a hygroscopic agent, and inorganic fine particles may be contained.

  The sea-island composite fiber composed of the sea component polymer and the island component polymer preferably has a sea component melt viscosity higher than that of the island component polymer during melt spinning. Further, the diameter of the island component needs to be in the range of 10 to 1000 nm. At this time, if the diameter is not a perfect circle, the diameter of the circumscribed circle is obtained. In the sea-island composite fiber, the sea-island composite weight ratio (sea: island) is preferably in the range of 40:60 to 5:95, and particularly preferably in the range of 30:70 to 10:90.

  Such a sea-island type composite fiber multifilament yarn can be easily manufactured, for example, by the following method. That is, melt spinning is performed using the sea component polymer and the island component polymer.

The discharged sea-island type cross-section composite fiber multifilament yarn is solidified by cooling air, and is preferably wound after being melt spun at 400 to 6000 m / min. The obtained undrawn yarn is made into a composite fiber having desired strength, elongation, and heat shrinkage properties through a separate drawing process, or is taken up by a roller at a constant speed without being wound once, and subsequently drawn.

In order to make the single fiber diameter of the polyester filament yarn B in the finally obtained knitted fabric 1 to 20 μm, it is important to set the single fiber fineness within the above range. Further, when the boiling water shrinkage rate of the polyester filament yarn B is the same or smaller than the boiling water shrinkage rate of the sea-island type composite fiber, a core-sheath structure in which the polyester filament yarn B is positioned at the core portion is not obtained by the heat treatment described below, which is not preferable. .

  In the polyester filament yarn B, the number of filaments and the total fineness are preferably in the range of 1 to 300 filaments and the total fineness of 0.1 to 5 dtex, respectively. Moreover, it is preferable that the boiling water shrinkage of the filament yarn is within a range of 10% or more (more preferably 20 to 40%). In order to obtain such a high boiling water shrinkage rate, it is preferable to spin and stretch the copolymer polyester using a conventional method. At that time, as the copolyester, the main constituent monomers of the copolyester are terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, and the third component copolymerized with this main constituent monomer is isophthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid. , Diethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, bisphenol A, and bisphenol sulfone.

Examples of the weft knitting structure include flat knitting, rubber knitting, double-sided knitting, pearl knitting, tuck knitting, floating knitting, one-sided knitting, lace knitting, splicing knitting, etc. Examples include, but are not limited to, a single atlas knitting, a double cord knitting, a half knitting, a half base knitting, a satin knitting, a half tricot knitting, a back hair knitting, and a jacquard knitting. The number of layers may be a single layer or a multilayer of two or more layers. The knitted fabric is preferably knitted only with the blended yarn, but other fibers may be contained as long as it is 80% by weight or less based on the total weight of the knitted fabric.

  Next, the knitted fabric is treated with an alkaline aqueous solution, and the sea component of the sea-island composite fiber is dissolved and removed with an alkaline aqueous solution, whereby the sea-island composite fiber filament yarn is made into a polyester filament yarn A having a single fiber diameter of 10 to 1000 nm. . At that time, the alkaline aqueous solution treatment may be performed at a temperature of 55 to 65 ° C. using a 3 to 4% NaOH aqueous solution.
