  • Representative of these various polymers, fiber and fabric types, and processes for making the fibers and fabrics are those described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,076,698, 4,644,045, 4,830,907, 4,909,975, 4,578,414, 4,842,922, 4,990,204, 5,112,686, 5,322,728, 4,425,393, 5,068,141 and 6,190,768. the entirety of each is incorporated herein by reference.
  • Mineral additives can advantageously be used to affect the properties of the fibers produced from thermoplastics.
  • fibers are produced by incorporating silica ranging in size from 10 to 200 millimicrons. The silica is then extracted from the fiber to produce surface irregularities or recesses in the fiber.

  • Typical synthetic fibers which are extruded and drawn, have a very smooth surface with very few imperfections, thus creating a slick, oily feel.
  • embodiments of the invention relate to modifying fiber surface roughness to improve the hand feeling perception of synthetic fibers.
  • the present invention provides a method to impart surface roughness to synthetic fibers, where the surface roughness extending out of the sheath of a bicomponent fiber results in an improved hand feel perception, decreasing the slick, oily feel of the fiber.

  • the hand-feel perception of a PP nonwoven fabric can be related to the surface roughness of the fabrics at the microscopic level, as in the Kawabata measurement system.
  • the surface roughness may be defined as the departure of the surface shape from some ideal or prescribed form.
  • the roughness could be defined in terms of the ratio of the true overall area of the projected nominal area, or as the slope of a profile taken along some prescribed line, or as the distance between high points and low points on the surface.
  • Two terms are used herein to describe the roughness of a fiber surface: the ratio of average particle size to sheath thickness and the particle spacing in the sheath. As will be shown below, the roughness is directly correlated to the physical properties of the fiber and filler.
  • the sheath is assumed to be a two-phase filled composite system, while the core is assumed to be a homogeneous polymeric resin, such as homogeneous polypropylene (hPP).
  • hPP homogeneous polypropylene
  • the density of PP is assumed as 0.90, the density of calcium carbonate is 2.7, and the volume percentage of CaCO 3 to be used is 2 percent. From equation (2), the filling level of this calcium carbonate filled hPP composite is equivalent to 5.77 percent by weight.
  • Assumptions used for the prediction of thickness include: (1) the cross section of a bicomponent fiber consists of two perfect concentric circles; and, (2) the composite sheath and homogeneous core sections of the bi-component fiber form as two distinctive phases without intrusion from one to another.
  • the requisite formulas for estimating the thickness of the composite sheath are:
  • dpf is denier per filament, or grams of a filament in 9000 meters; k is a parameter relating the sheath to the core; h is the thickness of the sheath in microns; D c is the diameter of the core section in microns; and, D f is the diameter of the bicomponent fiber in microns.
  • Examples of estimated values of sheath thickness of a calcium carbonate filled bicomponent hPP fiber based on known filler content by weight percent (w f ) are shown in Table 1.
  • TABLE 1 Estimated sheath thickness for a calcium carbonate filled PP sheath based on w f .
  • the formulation for calculating the thickness of composite sheath is modified based upon the relationship between volume percentage and weight percentage as given above.
  • the filler content in the sheath can be expressed either as a weight percent or as a volume percent, thus the formulas for estimating sheath thickness can be developed accordingly. It should be noted that the formulas only approximate sheath thickness as the volume of the “stick-out” portion of particles was included as if submerged in the polymer matrix. As a result, the actual sheath thicknesses should be less than the predicted thickness. However, because the volume percent of the filler in the sheath is typically low (15% or less), the error involved is small and can be neglected in most instances.
  • the fiber surface roughness represented by the filler particle “stick-out” effect may be partially described in terms of the ratio of the filler particle size to the sheath thickness. If this ratio is less than 1, the particle would be submerged in the polymeric sheath matrix and less effective in creating surface unevenness. On other hand, if the ratio exceeds 2, more than one-half of the volume of a mineral particle could stick out of the sheath and be exposed to air, possibly causing the sheath to lose its holding power to the imbedded particle. It should be noted, however, that this approximation does not consider mechanical and adhesion effects that, when present, may allow the ratio to be significantly higher.
  • the ratio of the filler particle size to sheath thickness may range from about 1 to about 2. In another embodiment, the ratio may range from about 1.2 to about 1.8. In yet other embodiments, the ratio may be greater than about 2.
  • the averaged value of 0.86 ⁇ ⁇ 1/3 d can be used.
  • the particle size variation in the thickness direction can be effectively eliminated by assuming that the particle size is in the same order of magnitude of the thickness of the sheath, resulting in the model simplifying to a planar or 2 dimensional particle size distribution.
  • Four possible cases are considered: particle in cubic and spherical shapes, and particle distribution in square and equilateral triangle arrangements.
  • the thickness of sheath is in same order of average particle size of CaCO 3 fillers, i.e., if the average particle size is 1 ⁇ m, the thickness of the sheath is also 1 ⁇ m.
  • the distribution of fillers in the sheath can be considered two-dimensional.
  • filler particles are uniformly distributed in the polymer matrix of the sheath.
  • all particles are evenly distributed in the sheath, either formed as squares or equilateral triangles.
  • the particle sizes are very narrow distributed, thus only the average particle size is used for modeling the spacing distance.
  • Particle spacing can then be estimated based upon the formatting of the particles in space. Particles can be in a square format or an equilateral triangle format, as illustrated in the left and right sides of FIG. 3 , respectively. The results also depend upon whether the particles are assumed to be spheres or cubes (affecting the characteristic length of the particle).
  • the resulting formulas to calculate particle spacing are given in Table 2, where L is the particle spacing, d is the particle size (characteristic length: the side length for a cubic particle or the diameter for a spherical particle), and ⁇ av is the ratio of particle volume percentage to the polymer matrix volume percentage. TABLE 2 Filler particle spacing estimates.
  • particle spacing is directly proportional to the particle size.
  • the particle spacing distance is determined by the characteristic dimension of the particles for each of the above formulas.
  • the ratio of particle spacing to the particle characteristic dimension (L/d) is listed in Table 3 for systems having 3 to 15 weight percent filler. It should be pointed out that the maximum filling level of particles in the polymer matrix will also depend on the mixing capacity of the extruder. TABLE 3 L/d Ratio for 3 to 15 weight percent filler Particles in Cubes Particles in Spheres Wt. vol.
  • the particles of the filler are modeled as small cubes or spheres.
  • the distribution of particles in the sheath is treated as in arrangement of square or equilateral triangle. In real life, the particles are most likely random packed, and the shapes of the particles are more or less irregular.
  • One way to treat this variation is to use an averaged value for the packing arrangement.
  • the particle diameter is also replaced by an aggregate diameter (as described in Wang et al.).
  • a mean particle spacing distance was adopted for the model by averaging the four values of particle spacing distances shown in Table 3 (alternatively, L/d ⁇ (0.8/ ⁇ av ) 1/2 ).
  • the required ratio of particle spacing to particle size, L/d may vary based upon particle size.
  • the L/d ratio may range from 1 to 10.
  • the ratio may be chosen to be from 3 to 6 to generate the desired roughness.
  • the ratio may be chosen to be from 2 to 4. It is thus seen from Table 3 that when a filler loading level is less than 5 percent by weight, the particle spacing may be too large to be effective for improving the fiber's tactile properties.
  • the actual particle size is typically not the same for all filling particles, as fillers are generally available having an average particle size and a particle size distribution, from narrow to broad.
  • the above calculations relating particle size to the sheath thickness can be determined by using averaged (or mean) particle size, noting that particle size distribution will affect the actual spacing and fiber surface roughness. For mineral fillers with narrow particle size distribution (less than about 2.0), the effect of the distribution on particle spacing can be neglected. For fillers with a broader particle size distribution (greater than about 3.0), the broader particle size distribution would lead to a greater distance between the particles.
  • the surface roughness of a fiber with a narrow particle size distribution will be different than that with a broader particle size distribution because the fiber incorporating the broad size distribution has more particles that are smaller than the average particle size.
  • these smaller particles could possibly be submerged in the sheath, potentially resulting in a decreased “stick-out” effect.
  • a broad size distribution also has a greater number of particles larger than the average particle size than does a narrow distribution.
  • the effect of having a greater number of particles larger than the average particle size might be negated by the increased particle spacing for particles that do in fact create a “stick-out” effect and the increased likelihood of potential adhesion problems.
  • the model can be used for estimating the ratio of average particle size to the sheath thickness and the particle spacing distance in the sheath, the model should be used qualitatively rather than quantitatively as many approximations were used to derive the formulas.
  • the general principles for using mineral filler for changing fiber surface morphology are, however, clearly represented by the model, and the model can provide initial design guidance.
  • a spinning trial was conducted by producing bicomponent fibers, with the sheath being a calcium carbonate filled polymer micro-composite.
  • the core was Polypropylene 5D49, a commercially available homopolymer available from the Dow Chemical Company (38 MFR; 0.90 g/cm 3 density).
  • the sheath was 5D49 compounded with various grades of calcium carbonate, as shown in Table 4. These fibers were compared to a 5D49 homofil fiber (2 or 4 dpf, as appropriate) as a control (comparative) sample.
  • TUFFGARD® a precipitated calcium carbonate having a 0.4 micron average particle size and a top cut at about 2 microns, commercially available from Specialty Minerals Inc., Adams, Mass.
  • SUPER-PFLEX® 200 a precipitated calcium carbonate having a 0.7 micron average particle size and a top cut at about 4 microns, surface coated with 2% stearic acid to promote dispersion in the polymer, also commercially available from Specialty Minerals Inc., Adams, Mass.
  • FILMLINK® 400 a ground calcium carbonate having a 1.2 micron average particle size and a top cut at about 8 microns, surface coated with 0.8 to 1.2% stearic acid, commercially available from Imerys, Roswell, Ga.
  • Compounding was performed in two steps to ensure dispersion of calcium carbonate in the hPP.
  • the fiber samples were prepared with a fiber spinning line consisting of two 1′′ single screw extruders, two Zenith gear pumps, a 144-hole spinneret, a fiber quenching cabinet, and a wind-up station.
  • the capillary hole of the spinneret was 0.65 mm in diameter with a length to diameter ratio of 4:1.
  • the melt temperature was setup at 240° C.
  • the throughput was 0.4 grams per hole per minute.
  • the spinning speed was set at 1000 m/min for producing 4 dpf (denier per filament) fiber and 2000 m/min for 2 dpf fiber, respectively. Fibers were collected in spools for subsequent property testing. The fiber spinning ran very smoothly, and no fiber breaks were detected in producing any of the samples.
  • FIGS. 4-6 SEM images of the surface of three representative surface modified bicomponent fibers, Samples 4, 8, and 10, are displayed in FIGS. 4-6 , respectively. All three fibers are 2 dpf (17.7 micron in diameter) and contain 10% sheath by volume.
  • the SEM image of fiber Sample 4 indicates that the calcium carbonate particles in this sample were smaller and more concentrated when compared to the SEM images of the other two fiber samples ( FIGS. 5 and 6 ).
  • This observation is in accord with the predictions from the model—because the grade of calcium carbonate, TUFFGARD®, has a smaller particle size (0.4 micron), and the ratio of particle size to the sheath thickness is less than 1, the model predicts a less significant “stick-out” effect, and a closer particle spacing distance. Further, the differences in topography were not discemable between the 5% (Sample 2. SEM image not presented) and 10% samples, with the images of the fiber surfaces appearing very similar.
  • the image of Sample 8 indicates that this fiber has the most overall surface roughness.
  • the fiber not only has calcium carbonate “bumps”, but also has craters or depressions formed around the calcium carbonate particles, which were not evident in FIG. 4 .
  • SUPER-PFLEX® 100 has a particle size of 0.7 micron. Thus the ratio of size to sheath thickness is greater than 1, and the improvement in “stick-out” effect over Sample 4 is anticipated from model.
  • the particle size of Sample 10 appears the largest and the least concentrated on the fiber. There was some evidence of depressions or craters, but less severe than Sample 8.
  • the calcium carbonate, FILMLINK® 400, in this fiber has the largest particle size (1.2 micron), and the ratio of particle size to sheath thickness is greater than 1.
  • the SEM images appear to validate the model, as the “stick-out” effect appears to be the strongest of the three fiber samples, and the spacing distance also appears to be the largest.
  • craters or depressions on the fiber surface is not fully understood.
  • One hypothesis is that craters or depressions may be generated when some large calcium carbonate particles are sloughed due to centrifugal force or other causes encountered during the spinning process.
  • a loss of some calcium carbonate particles during fiber spinning does not hinder the creation of surface roughness, as craters left by the discarded particles do provide surface roughness.
  • the discarding of particles during the spinning process may cause a concern of dusting.
  • dusting should not be an issue, as there are suction fans underneath the forming web where the fibers are hitting the web and forming the pre-form nonwovens.
  • improved ventilation conditions around the fabrication line may be needed; however, as the filling content of calcium carbonate in the fiber is low, about 1% of fiber by weight, any dusting that might occur should not be severe and could be easily overcome.
  • the 2 dpf fiber samples including the hPP control, were knitted on a Lawson-Hemphill sock knitter.
  • the wales and courses per inch are a measure of the knit density.
  • the wales go in the machine direction of the fabric, the courses in the cross direction.
  • the fabric density is defined as the product of wales and courses.
  • the wpi and cpi of the six samples were measured as 26 and 32, respectively. The density of each sample was 832.
  • the Hand feel Result The hand feel perception of the knitted socks made from the 2 dpf fibers are given in Table 5. Samples 2 and 4, with a particle to sheath thickness ratio less than 1, did not generate a significant improvement in hand feel. There is no significant “stick-out” effect, as predicted by the model and observed in the SEM image of Sample 4 in FIG. 4 . Samples 8 and 10 did have an improved hand feel perception as compared to the control sample, which is made of hPP (5D49) mono fibers without the surface modifications.
  • bicomponent fibers having a micro-composite surface component can improve the hand feel perception of synthetic fibers.
  • mineral fillers having a particle size larger than the thickness of the micro-composite polymer matrix By incorporating mineral fillers having a particle size larger than the thickness of the micro-composite polymer matrix, a “stick-out” effect can be obtained, resulting in surface roughness and an improved feel.
  • the bicomponent fibers having an improved feel are useful in end products such as carpets, synthetic hair, feminine hygiene products, diapers, athletic sportswear, apparel, upholstery, bandages and sterilizable medical apparel and instrument wraps
