Description

本発明は、ノズル先端から高分子溶液を噴出させる工程を含む高分子を含む繊維の紡糸方法であって、噴出直後における高分子溶液の周囲に、高分子溶液の溶媒と同一の溶媒の蒸気を含む気体を供給しつつ紡糸する紡糸方法、及びそのための装置に関する。   The present invention is a fiber spinning method including a step of ejecting a polymer solution from the tip of a nozzle, and a vapor of the same solvent as the solvent of the polymer solution is provided around the polymer solution immediately after ejection. The present invention relates to a spinning method for spinning while supplying a gas containing the gas, and an apparatus therefor.

近年、ナノファイバーからなるシート等の成形体が、その比表面積の高さから、従来の繊維成形体にはない特性を有する素材として注目されている。こうしたナノファイバーの製造方法(紡糸方法)としては、エレクトロスピニング法がよく知られている。
エレクトロスピニング法は、ポリマーを溶媒に溶解させた溶液(ドープ液)を、ドープ液吐出ノズルの先端に供与し、ノズル先端と電極(コレクター)間に高電圧を印加することで、コレクター上に繊維成形体を得る方法である。その工程としては、高分子を溶媒に溶解させて溶液(ドープ液)を製造する工程と、該ドープ液をノズル先端に供与し高電圧を印加する工程と、該ドープ液をノズル先端より電極(コレクター)方向に噴出させる工程と、噴出させドープ液から溶媒を蒸発させて繊維成形体を形成させる工程と、任意に実施しうる工程として形成された繊維成形体の電荷を消失させる工程と、電荷消失によって繊維成形体をコレクター上に累積させる工程とを含む。
エレクトロスピニング法においては、ドープ液に揮発性溶媒を使用する場合でも連続生産を可能にするという課題がある。この点、特許文献1には、従来技術における一重管ノズル近傍において、生成しつつあるナノファイバーを溶媒で取り囲むことで、生成したナノファイバーのノズルへの吸着を溶媒流により物理的に防止および/または洗浄することで、連続生産を可能にする技術が開示されている。
In recent years, molded articles such as sheets made of nanofibers have attracted attention as materials having characteristics not found in conventional fiber molded articles because of their high specific surface area. As a method for producing such nanofiber (spinning method), an electrospinning method is well known.
In the electrospinning method, a solution (dope solution) in which a polymer is dissolved in a solvent is supplied to the tip of a dope solution discharge nozzle, and a high voltage is applied between the nozzle tip and an electrode (collector), whereby fibers are collected on the collector. This is a method for obtaining a molded body. As the steps, a step of dissolving a polymer in a solvent to produce a solution (dope solution), a step of applying the high voltage by supplying the dope solution to the tip of the nozzle, and an electrode ( A step of ejecting in the direction of the collector), a step of ejecting and evaporating the solvent from the dope solution to form a fiber molded body, a step of eliminating the charge of the fiber molded body formed as an optional process, And accumulating the fiber molded body on the collector by disappearance.
The electrospinning method has a problem that continuous production is possible even when a volatile solvent is used for the dope solution. In this regard, Patent Document 1 discloses that the nanofibers that are being produced are surrounded by a solvent in the vicinity of the single-tube nozzle in the prior art, so that adsorption of the produced nanofibers to the nozzle is physically prevented and / or Alternatively, a technology that enables continuous production by washing is disclosed.

本発明者らは、エレクトロスピニング法においてドープ液の溶媒に揮発性のものを用いる場合、ドープ液をノズル先端より噴出させる工程において、ノズル先端で形成されるテーラーコーン(ノズル先端で紡糸時に生じるもので、ノズル先端に供与された液滴にその表面張力を超えた電圧が印加されることで液滴が電圧方向に引き伸ばされることで生じる、通常コーン形状のもの)の固化を生じ、この固形物が時間とともに成長することが、紡糸安定性の悪化や紡糸収率の低下、さらには連続生産ができなくなる問題の原因であることを突き止めた。そしてかかる問題は、エレクトロスピニング法に限られず、気中に高分子溶液を紡出させる紡糸法に共通して発生することがわかった。
本発明の目的は、こうした問題を解決することであり、例えばエレクトロスピニングにおけるテーラーコーンの固化、成長を抑制するなど、気中に高分子溶液を紡出させる紡糸法におけるノズル先端での紡糸液の固化を抑制する方法及び装置を提供することである。
In the electrospinning method, when a volatile solvent is used as the solvent of the dope solution, the present inventors have developed a tailor cone formed at the tip of the nozzle in the step of ejecting the dope solution from the tip of the nozzle. In this case, the liquid applied to the tip of the nozzle is applied with a voltage exceeding its surface tension, causing the liquid droplet to be stretched in the direction of the voltage. It has been found that the fact that the growth over time is the cause of problems such as deterioration in spinning stability, reduction in spinning yield, and inability to perform continuous production. It has been found that such a problem occurs not only in the electrospinning method but in common with the spinning method in which the polymer solution is spun in the air.
An object of the present invention is to solve these problems. For example, the spinning solution at the tip of a nozzle in a spinning method in which a polymer solution is spun in the air, for example, suppressing the solidification and growth of a tailor cone in electrospinning. It is to provide a method and apparatus for suppressing solidification.

[Spinning with polymer solution for spinning]
Electrospinning was performed using the spinning solution obtained above. A double tube nozzle having a nozzle inner diameter of 0.47 mm and an outer ring inner diameter of 1.45 mm is used.

And spinning. The fiber collection side used the collection plate 330mmx440mm made from SUS304, and applied the voltage of -5kV to the collection plate. During spinning, 300 ml / h of compressed air was supplied (0.3 MPa) through a 3 L glass sealed container filled with 500 ml of dichloromethane, and 300 ml / h of this was supplied to the space between each nozzle and the outer tube. Saturated dichloromethane vapor was fed. Under these conditions, no solid matter was generated at the nozzle tip even when spinning was continued for 25 minutes.

Spinning was performed under the same conditions as in the above example except that saturated dichloromethane vapor was not supplied to the space between the nozzle and the outer tube during spinning. Under these conditions, a solid content was generated at the nozzle tip immediately after the start of spinning, and spinning could not be continued due to the solid content growth at the nozzle tip 40 seconds after the start of spinning.

本発明は、紡糸安定性や紡糸収率に優れ、また連続生産が可能な紡糸方法及び装置として有用であり、例えば不織布の製造業で利用される。   INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention is useful as a spinning method and apparatus that are excellent in spinning stability and spinning yield, and that can be continuously produced.
