Abstract
Disclosed is a composite fiber including a substrate and a MXene disposed inside the substrate. The substrate contains a polymer and has a fiber shape. Since the MXene content is controlled to be in an optimum range, the mechanical properties, mechanical stability, and oxidation stability of the composite fiber are maximized.
Description
- The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2022-0101971, filed Aug. 16, 2022, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.
- The present disclosure relates to a composite fiber and a method of manufacturing the same.
- A MXene is a novel two-dimensional material with high electroconductivity and electrochemical properties similar to those of metals. A MXene exhibits excellent performance in many applications such as electrochemical energy storage devices, electrodes, gas and moisture sensors, and conductive fillers.
- In addition, a MXene has excellent dispersibility due to hydrophilic functional groups present on the surface thereof. For example, a highly dispersed MXene solution can be used for fiber preparation. However, although each MXene layer has superior performance, the fiber produced therefrom exhibits weak mechanical properties and very poor oxidation stability. Therefore, to use MXenes for electric wires, electric heating and exthothermic materials, and wearable electronic materials, the chemical stabilization and mechanical properties of the MXene must be improved.
- In preferred aspects, provided is a composite fiber having improved mechanical properties by mixing MXene and a polymer and filling voids (e.g., spaces between layers) in the MXene with the polymer.
- The term “MXene” as used herein refers to an inorganic material including multiple layers each of which is made of inorganic compounds such as halides, carbides, nitrides, or carbonitrides of transition metals (e.g., Ti, Cr, Mo, V, Nb, W, Y, Ta, Sc, etc.). The layers in MXene are in form of sheets, i.e. in two dimensional, which may be separated with void space between each layer and/or stacked with two or more layers. In certain embodiments, each layer of the MXene may have a thickness in nanometer range (e.g., 1 to 500 nm, 1 to 100 nm, or 1 to 10 nm) or in micrometer range (e.g., 1 to 500 μm, 1 to 100 μm, or 1 to 10 μm). A term “sheet-type” as used herein refers to a three-dimensional shape of a sheet, film or a thing layer, which has a planar surface and a substantially reduced thickness (e.g., millimeter, micrometer, or nanometer scale) compared to a width or a length of the planar surface.
- However, the objectives of the present disclosure are not limited the ones described above. The objectives of the present disclosure will become more apparent from the following description and will be realized by the means described in the claims and combinations thereof.
- In an aspect, provided is a composite fiber including: a substrate including a polymer and having a fiber shape; and MXene disposed in the substrate. The composite fiber may include the MXene in an amount of about 10% to 40% by weight based on the total weight of the composite fiber.
- The polymer may include polyacrylonitrile (PAN).
- The MXene may include a stack of two or more of nanosheets, and the polymer may be disposed between the nanosheets.
- The polymer and the MXene may be bonded by electrostatic interaction.
- A cross section of the composite fiber may have a solid circular shape, a hollow circular shape, a solid oval shape, a hollow oval shape, a hollow shape, or a line shape.
- The composite fiber may have an electrical conductivity in a range of about 10 S/cm to 200 S/cm.
- The composite fiber may have a tensile strength in a range of about 20 MPa to 400 MPa.
- The composite fiber may have a density in a range of about 1.0 g/cm to 2.5 g/cm.
- In an aspect, provided is a method of manufacturing the composite fiber as described herein. The method may include preparing a first dispersion solution including a polymer and a first solvent; preparing a second dispersion solution including a polymer and a second solvent; obtaining an admixture including the first dispersion solution and the second dispersion solution; and obtaining the composite fiber by wet spinning the admixture.

In an aspect, a composite fiber includes: a substrate containing a polymer and having a fiber shape; and MXene disposed in the substrate.
- Maxine is a novel two-dimensional material with high electroconductivity and electrochemical properties similar to metals. Since the surface of the MXene is hydrophilic and has negatively charged to functional groups such as OH, 0, and F, the MXene can be easily dispersed and assemble into a three-dimensional structure. In addition, since the MXene does not require post-treatment unlike graphene oxide, the processing cost thereof is low. When a three-dimensional structure is made from fibers, the electrical and mechanical properties of the structure are not good. The poor physical properties are due to the fact that the MXene is a stack of multiple nanosheets each of which a gap is provided. Due to the gap between each of the nanosheets, the MXene has a small binding force.
- Accordingly, to solve the problem of poor physical properties of MXenes, the present disclosure provides a method of mixing a MXene and a polymer so that interlayer gaps of the MXene can be filled with the polymer, thereby improving the physical properties of the MXene.
- The composite fiber may suitably include MXene in an amount of about 10% to 40% by weight based on the total weight of the composite fiber. When the content of the MXene is less than about 10% by weight, the MXene may have poor electrical conductivity due to high resistance. When the content of the MXene is greater than about 40% by weight, the MXene acts as an impurity, which may cause the problem of fiber breakage during the formation of a fibrous structure.
- The polymer may include one or more polymers selected from all polymers produced by polymerization of monomers having a GN functional group. For example, the polymer may be polyacrylonitrile (PAN).
- The polymer and the MXene may be bonded by electrostatic interaction.
- Due to the electrostatic interaction bonding between the functional group —OH or —O of the MXene and the functional group —C≡N— of the polymer, the dispersibility of the composite fibers may be improved.
- A cross section of the composite fiber may have a solid circular shape, a solid oval shape, a hollow shape, or a line shape.
- Specifically, in the present disclosure, when the composite fiber has a circular cross section or a line-shaped cross section, the aspect ratio is in a range of about 1 to 30.
- The composite fiber may have an electrical conductivity in a range of about 10 S/cm to 200 S/cm.
- The composite fiber may have a tensile strength in a range of about 20 MPa to 400 MPa.
- The composite fiber may have a density in a range of about 1.0 g/cm to 2.5 g/cm.
- In an aspect, provided is a method of manufacturing the composite fiber as described herein. In describing the method, since a substrate including a polymer and a MXene are the same as those described above, a detailed description thereabout will not be redundantly given below.
-
FIG. 1 shows an exemplary manufacturing method for an exemplary composite fiber according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown inFIG. 1 , an exemplary manufacturing method includes: preparing a first dispersion solution including a polymer and a first solvent; preparing a second dispersion solution including a polymer and a second solvent; obtaining an admixture including the first dispersion solution and the second dispersion solution; and obtaining a composite fiber by wet spinning the admixture. The composite fiber includes a substrate including a polymer and having a fiber shape and a MXene dispersed in the substrate and includes the MXene in an amount of 10% to 40% by weight based on the total weight of the composite fiber. - First, S10 is a step of preparing a first dispersion solution including a MXene and a first solvent.
- The first dispersion solution may include the MXene in a concentration of about 10 mg/mL to 45 mg/mL. When the concentration of the MXene is less than about 10 mg/mL, when being mixed with the polymer, a low-viscosity admixture is prepared, and thus spinning performance is not good. When the concentration of the MXene is greater than about 45 mg/mL, the MXene and the polymer may agglomerate, and the viscosity is excessively high. Therefore, spinning performance is not good.
- The first solvent may include one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone-m-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
- MXenes have excellent dispersibility in water because the surfaces of the MXenes are terminated by hydrophilic functional groups. However, a high-concentration water-MXene dispersion is practically difficult to use. The reason for this is that redispersion in water is difficult. In addition, it is difficult to prepare a homogeneous dispersion because the nanosheets in the MXene easily agglomerate with each other. Therefore, in the present disclosure, an organic solvent may be used as the first solvent.
- Next, S20 is a step of preparing a second dispersion solution including a polymer and a second solvent.
- The second dispersion solution may include the polymer in a concentration of about 50 mg/mL to 500 mg/mL. When the concentration of the polymer is less than about 50 mg/mL, the admixture may not coagulate. When the concentration of the polymer is greater than about 500 mg/mL, the admixture may not be uniformly spun due to high conductivity.
- The second solvent may include one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of 2-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone-m-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
- As described above, the polymer may include polyacrylonitrile (PAN). As the second solvent, an organic solvent may be used because the polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is not dispersed in moisture.
- Next, Step S30 is a step of obtaining an admixture including the first dispersion solution and the second dispersion solution.
- When each of the first dispersion solution and the second dispersion solution uses an organic solvent, the dispersions are stable at high concentrations. For example, a homogeneous admixture that is free of MXene agglomeration can be obtained. In addition, since a MXene dispersed in an organic solvent has a high affinity to a polyacrylonitrile solution due to the functional groups present on the surface thereof, a stable admixture can be obtained. That is, an admixture having excellent solution stability can be obtained, a high concentration spinning solution can be obtained, and an admixture with a high oxidation stability can be obtained.
- The admixture may include the MXene in an amount of about 10% to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the admixture. For example, the MXene content may be in a range of about 10% to 50% by weight or particularly a range of about 20% to 60% by weight based on the total weight of the admixture. When the MXene content is less than about 10% by weight, the conductivity may be reduced due to an increase in electrical resistance. When the MXene content is greater than about 60% by weight, it is difficult to obtain a fiber spinning gel, and thus spinning cannot be performed.
- Finally, Step S40 is a step of wet spinning the admixture to obtain composite fibers.
- In step S40, composite fibers are obtained by wet spinning the admixture in a coagulation fluid.
- The term “wet spinning” as used herein means a technique in which a pressure is applied to the admixture so that the admixture can be spun into the coagulation fluid that is capable of coagulating the admixture, through a spinneret (spinning nozzle). In the coagulation fluid, as the solvent in the admixture diffuses, solidification and precipitation occur to form fibers.
- The admixture may be spun at a speed in a range of about 0.1 mL/h to 35 mL/h. When the spinning speed is greater than about 35 mL/h, there is a problem that the mixing solution is not subjected to a constant shear stress, resulting in uneven fibers.
- The coagulation fluid may include one or more selected from the group consisting of water, acetone, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, acetic acid, acetonitrile, 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone-N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAc), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and tetrahydrofuran (THF). For example, the coagulation fluid may contain water and ethanol mixed in a volume ratio in a range of about 3:7 to 7:3.
- The coagulation fluid may have a temperature in a range of from about 20° C. to about 60° C. When the temperature of the coagulation fluid is below 20° C., the coagulation rate is low. Therefore, irregular shrinkage occurs during a drying process to remove the residual solvent. When the temperature of the coagulation fluid is above about 60° C., the solvent rapidly escapes from the surface of the fiber because the solvent rapidly diffuses in the coagulation fluid. In this case, the solvent may remain in the fiber due to fast solidification, which may result in deterioration in physical properties of the fiber.
- The wet spinning may be performed using a spinneret having a diameter in a range of about 10 μm to 1500 μm. For example, the diameter may be in a range of about 100 μm to 1000 μm or particularly a range of about 100 μm to 500 μm. Preferably, the diameter may be in a range of about 100 μm to 410 μm. When the diameter of the spinneret is less than about 10 μm, a problem may occur that spinning through the nozzle does not proceed. When the diameter is greater than about 1500 μm, the degree of orientation and density of the fibers may be lowered due to insufficient shear stress, and thus mechanical properties of the fibers may be deteriorated.
- The composite fibers may be elongated 1 to 20 times. The elongation can improve the degree of alignment of the nano sheets in the MXene and the polymer along the axial direction of the fiber, i.e., the degree of orientation.
- The method may further include heat treating the composite fibers in an inert gas atmosphere.
- Through this heat treatment, cyclization and carburization of the polyacrylonitrile may improve the mechanical properties. In particular, in the case of the MXene, the functional groups on the surface of the MXene are partially removed. Therefore, oxidation stability due to moisture may be improved, and the gaps between the nanosheets are narrowed. As a result, an electron hopping distance is reduced, and thus the electrical properties are improved. In addition, since the gap between the sheets is narrowed, that is, the sheets are densely arranged, the mechanical properties of the sheets are improved.
- The heat treatment may be performed in a temperature range of about 400° C. to 600° C. When the heat treatment temperature is less than 400 about ° C., the cyclization reaction of the PAN does not occur, resulting in a deterioration in the electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. When the heat treatment temperature is greater than about 600° C., the normal cyclization products of the PAN cannot be obtained.
- The inert gas may include argon (Ar), nitrogen (N), and the like.
- The heat treatment may be performed for a period of about 30 minutes to 2 hours while the temperate is raised at a rate of about 1° C./min to 10° C./min.
- Although the composite fibers are not limited in their applications, the composite fibers may be used for wearable fiber materials, electric wires, and heating wires. In addition, the composite fibers can find applications in automotive industry, aerospace industry, various cables, and electrical products.
- Hereinafter, the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the following preparation examples. However, the technical idea of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
