Definitions

  • the invention relates to the use of a parent solution for producing fibers, particularly microfibers or sub-microfibers or nanofibers by solution blow spinning as well as such a spinning method for producing fibers and a non-woven fabric produced by the method.
  • the solution blow spinning is a spinning method, in which a parent solution exits from at least one output nozzle and is conveyed to a collector, in doing so solid fibers are formed. Accordingly, the fibers are synthetic fibers.
  • Fibers are produced by pressing of a liquid or semi-liquid mass through openings. Such methods are referenced as melt or wet or dry spinning methods, depending on how the respective mass was produced or liquefied.
  • JP 2010-150712 A shows a method for producing of fibers by electrostatic spinning, in which aqueous solutions of water-soluble polymers are used.
  • the electrostatic spinning has a comparable low productivity for principle reasons. As a consequence, the fiber production by electrostatic spinning is very expensive. The electrostatic spinning can be economically used only for the production of fibers that are used in very upscale products.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 8,641,960 B1 describes a solution blow spinning, in which solutions of respective polymers are transferred by means of a process gas stream in solid fibers for producing of very fine polymer fibers.
  • a solution blow spinning is of advantage compared with electrostatic spinning, because it allows a productivity that is a hundred to a thousand times higher.
  • the production of fibers by means of solution blow spinning uses a parent solution, in which water is used as solvent. At least the portion of water as solvent is in the range of 30% to 99%, preferably 50% to 95% and further preferably 60% to 90%. At least one and preferably exactly one water-soluble polymer is dissolved in the solvent. Additionally the parent solution comprises at least one tenside.
  • the tenside is a surface-active substance that can also be referred to as surfactant.
  • the fibers can be produced as microfibers, sub-microfibers or nanofibers, i.e. with a fiber diameter in the micrometer range or sub-micrometer range or nanometer range by solution blow spinning. Thereby the sequence in which the added agents are dissolved in the solvent is not of particular importance.
  • the composition of the parent solution is significant.
  • one or more fluid jets are created without atomizing the liquid into spray.
  • the liquid jets exit through a nozzle and are stretched by a process gas, particularly pressurized air. In doing so, fibers are created.
  • the liquid jets are preferably substantially orientated parallel with each other.
  • the created fibers are comprised preferably a ratio of length to a mean thickness of at least 100:1, preferably at least 500:1, preferably at least 1000:1 and further preferably at least 10000:1.
  • the fibers have a length of at least 1 mm, preferably of at least 3 mm and further preferably of at least 5 mm.
  • the parent solution comprises exclusively water-soluble polymers.
  • Other polymers that are not water-soluble are contained in the parent solution.

  • plasticizers can be contained for the present at least one polymer, like for example polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, glycerine, trimethylolpropane, di-/tripropylene glycol or chemical compositions related therewith.
  • concentration in the parent solution is determined, the plasticizers are added to the polymer portion and not to the solvent portion or the surfactant.
  • the concentration of the at least one water-soluble polymer in the parent solution is preferably in the range of 1 wt-% to 70 wt-%, preferably in the range of 5 wt-% to 50 wt-% and further preferably in the range of 10 wt-% to 40 wt-% including an optionally present plasticizer.
  • the indicated concentration applies, if only one water-soluble polymer is present in the parent solution as well as for parent solutions with a plurality of water-soluble polymers.
  • the parent solution comprises exactly one water-soluble polymer that can be completed with a suitable plasticizer for the used polymer.
  • the concentration of the at least one surfactant in the parent solution is in the range of 0.001 wt-% to 50 wt-% and further preferably in the range of 0.01 wt-% to 5 wt-% and further preferably in the range of 0.1 wt-% to 1.5 wt-%.
