2 Claims, N0 Drawings TEXTILE ARTICLES FOR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING The present invention relates to novel 'noninflammable fibers and yarns having a base of polyamide-imide which comprise substantial quantities of activated carbon, as well as articles obtained from said yarns.
Noninflammable fibers and yarns are to be understood as yarns which have Successfully passed the test published in the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colourists No. 34, 1966.
The present invention also concerns the process of.
obtaining said yarns.
It is already known from French Pat. No. 1,188,128 and its Patent of Addition 88,023 to prepare compositions of finely divided carbon black and acrylonitrile polymer whose apparent density is less than 0.400 and to spin compositions containing a high proportion of carbon black in order to obtain black fibers; however, these fibers have only a small specific surface.
It is also known from French Application No. 2,003,528 to prepare fibers or filaments having a base of copolymers of acrylonitrile and vinylidene chloride or sodium alginate containing to 30% graphite, which fibers are intended for carbonization or graphitization in order to be made fireproof.
It is well known to use carbon black for the complete pigmentation of different types of polymers, but the quantity of pigment incorporated is preferably of the order of 1% and not in excess of 3% of the total quantity of the material if it is desired to be able to spin under good conditions and to obtain yarns having sufficiently good qualities to be used as such and not carbonized or graphitized.
In French Pat. No. 1,540,997 the obtaining of porous acrylic fibers has also been proposed but the specific surfaces of said fibers do not exceed 55 to 60 m /g.
Furthermore, up to now, attempts at incorporating activated carbon in other textile substances, such as polypropylene and polyamides, have not led to the obtaining of textile articles which are both uniform and retain sufficient activity.
There have now been discovered and this constitutes the object of the present invention noninflammable textile yarns, fibers and articles with a base of polyamide-imide having incorporated 8 to 35% activated carbon, calculated with respect to the quantity of dry materials having an iodine number of 100 to 500 and having a specific surface of 90 to 300 m /g.
The inventionalso relates to a process of obtaining noninflammable fibers having a base of polyamideimide which comprises in succession:
preparing a solution of polyamide-imide in a polar organic solvent containing 8 to 35% activated carbon, referred to the weight of carbon plus polymer,
wet-spinning said solution in a coagulating bath composed essentially of water and of solvent for the polymer,
drawing, washing and drying the filaments in known manner, I
drying and heating in known manner. By polyamide-imide there are understood polymers having amide-imide linkages of the formula:
and possibly amide linkages of the formula NH-Ar- ,-Nl-lCOR-CO in wlhich'Ar represents an aromatic divalent radical, Ar represents a trivalent aromatic radical and R represents an aromatic divalent radical.
The polyamides-imides of the above formula are obtained by reacting, in a polar organic solvent, in substantially stoichiometric proportions, at least one aromatic diisocyanate and one acid reagent comprising at least one aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic acid anhydride and possibly a diacid..
Among the diisocyanates which can be used for the obtaining of these polymers mentioned may be made of monocyclic diisocyanates, such as toluylenediisocyanates, and dicyclic diisocyanates, of preferably symmetrical nature, such as 4,4-diisocyanatodiphenyl-methane, 4,4'-diisocyanato-diphenyl-propane and 4,4'-diisocyanato-diphenyl-ether.
As the acid anhydride, trimellitic anhydride is preferably employed. Among the diacids there are preferably employed terephthalic acid or isophthalic acid, the proportions of the diacid in the acid reagent being generally between 5 and mol and preferably 20807( referred to the mixture of anhydride and diacid. The polyamide-imides utilized herein are, of course, a well known class of polymers.
The activated carbon which can be used in accordance with the present invention is a form of carbon of high specific surface, and of very small particle size, of the order of a few microns, which possesses active centers and which contains other substances such as oxygen.
For the carrying out of the present invention it is generally advantageous to use an activated carbon of good iodine number and ofa specific surface which is generally greater than 1000 m /g in order to obtain the maximum effect.
In accordance with the present invention, it has surprisingly and unexpectedly been found that by the process of the present invention it is possible to incorporate up to 35% activated carbon, referred to the total weight of activated carbon plus polymer, without disturbing the spinning, and furthermore that in the yarns or fibers thus obtained, the active centers of the carbon retain the greatest part of their activity even in the finished textile articles.
The fabrics obtained from the said yarns are very use ful as fabrics for protection against harmful gases and furthermore have the advantage of being noninflammable due to the very nature of the polyamides-imides.
Due to their high power of adsorption, the yarns of the present invention can also be used in the manufacture of cigarette or antipollution filters.
The adsorbent power of the yarns containing activated carbon is evaluated by the iodine number" which represents the number of milligrams of iodine fixed per gram of dry substance.
The specific surface of the yarns is measured by the BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) method which has been described in numerous publications.
For the obtaining of yarns and fibers such as described above, a solution of polyamide-imide in a polar organic solvent containing, in addition to the polymer, 8 to 35% activated'carbon, referred to the total weight of polymer plus activated carbon, is extruded through a spinneret. Above 35% activated carbon, spinning becomes impossible.
The polymer used must have an inherent viscosity of between 0.8 and 1.6 (and preferably between 0.9 and 1.4). The inherent viscosity is measured at C on a 0.5 wt. solution of polymer per volume ofpolar organic solvent. As organic solvent, N-methylpyrrolidone is preferably employed.
For the preparation of the spinning solution it is generally preferred first of all to prepare a master mix containing the solvent, the polymer and a high proportion of activated carbon.
The master mix is crushed so as to obtain good uniformity of the polymer and carbon mix and avoid agglomeration of the particles of carbon'and thus permit easy spinning.
There is then added to this master mix a certain amount of solution of polymer in N-methylpyrrolidonev The spinning solution thus obtained is mixed immediately before the spinning and then filtered.
The spinning is effected by the wet process, which is well known to those skilled in the art, in a coagulating bath composed essentially of water and of solvent for the polymer wherein the proportion of solvent may vary between and 65%, ordinarily at room temperature.
The filaments are drawn in customary fashion by any means known to those skilled in the art, for instance in air at room temperature, to the extent of generally between 12 X and 2.5 X. The drawing contributes to imparting good physical and mechanical properties to the filaments without decreasing the number of active sites of the carbon, which retains its adsorbent power. The filaments are then washed with water, generally continuously, at room temperature, for instance by passage through one or more tanks or over rollers to eliminate the solvent, which is then reused.
The drying can be effected in customary fashion, for instance on rollers. It is generally preferable to dry at a temperature not above 150C in order that the yarns may retain their full activity.
in order to permit practically complete elimination of the solvent, the filaments may undergo a heat treatment at a temperature which may vary from 200 to 220C in a stove, or preferably a subsequent washing in known manner, for instance with a volatile organic compound such as acetone.
The following examples, in which the percentages are by weight, are given by way of illustration and not of limitation in order to illustrate the invention.
EXAMPLE 1 A solution A of a polyamide-imide is prepared by reaction of 153.6 g of trimellitic anhydride, 250 g of diisocyanato-4,4-diphenylmethane and 33.2 g of terephthalic acid in 1310 g of N-methyl-pyrrolidone. The polymer obtained has an inherent viscosity of 1. l l and the I solution has a concentration of 21% by weight of polymer.
