Definitions
- the present invention relates to garments that contain breathable and waterproof layers and to the construction of the layers.
- breathable and waterproof membranes are well known to incorporate breathable and waterproof membranes into a garment in order to impart breathability to the garment while making it waterproof and therefore more comfortable to the user.
- expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membranes ePTFE
- ePTFE expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membranes
- the materials of this invention are designed to solve these problems ad provide a soil resistant, highly breathable structure.
- the present invention is directed to a garment having an outer side and an inner side comprising a breathable laminate and an outer layer fabric, said breathable laminate comprising a microporous membrane situated in a face to face relationship with a nanoweb.
- nanofiber layer when used to describe the location of a layer refers to the face of the garment that faces away form the wearer.
- inner refers to the user facing side of the garment.
- nanofiber layer and “nanoweb” are used interchangeably herein.
- a nanoweb is a nonowoven that comprise nanofibers.
- nanofiber refers to fibers having a number average diameter or cross-section less than about 1000 nm, even less than about 800 nm, even between about 50 nm and 500 nm, and even between about 100 and 400 nm.
- diameter as used herein includes the greatest cross-section of non-round shapes.
- garment any item that is worn by the user to protect some region of the user's body from weather or other factors in the environment outside the body. For example coats, jackets, pants, hats, gloves, shoes, socks, and shirts would all be considered garments under this definition.
- nonwoven means a web including a multitude of randomly distributed fibers.
- the fibers generally can be bonded to each other or can be unbonded.
- the fibers can be staple fibers or continuous fibers.
- the fibers can comprise a single material or a multitude of materials, either as a combination of different fibers or as a combination of similar fibers each comprised of different materials.
- Coding is the process of passing a web through a nip between two rolls.
- the rolls may be in contact with each other, or there may be a fixed or variable gap between the roll surfaces.
- An "unpatterned” roll is one which has a smooth surface within the capability of the process used to manufacture them. There are no points or patterns to deliberately produce a pattern on the web as it passed through the nip, unlike a point bonding roll.
- the garment of the present invention comprises a composite web, made from a nanofiber web of one or more nanofiber layers in combination with a microporous membrane.
- This combination can be made by adhesively laminating the nanofiber web to the membrane, or by forming the nanofiber layer directly on the membrane during the nanoweb spinning process to form a membrane/nanofiber layer structure.
- the nanofiber layer can also be adhered to the membrane by mechanical entanglement.
- the membrane may include various microporous films such as stretched, filled polymers and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) and can be used without limitation so long as a nanofiber layer can be added on the substrate.
- ePTFE expanded polytetrafluoroethylene
- the as-spun nanoweb comprises primarily or exclusively nanofibers, advantageously produced by electrospinning, such as classical electrospinning or electroblowing, and in certain circumstances, by melt blowing, or other such suitable processes.
- electrospinning such as classical electrospinning or electroblowing
- melt blowing or other such suitable processes.
- Classical electrospinning is a technique illustrated in U.S. Patent No. 4,127,706, incorporated herein in its entirety, wherein a high voltage is applied to a polymer in solution to create nanofibers and nonwoven mats.
- total throughput in electrospinning processes is too low to be commercially viable in forming heavier basis weight webs.
- a stream of polymeric solution comprising a polymer and a solvent is fed from a storage tank to a series of spinning nozzles within a spinneret, to which a high voltage is applied and through which the polymeric solution is discharged. Meanwhile, compressed air that is optionally heated is issued from air nozzles disposed in the sides of, or at the periphery of the spinning nozzle. The air is directed generally downward as a blowing gas stream which envelopes and forwards the newly issued polymeric solution and aids in the formation of the fibrous web, which is collected on a grounded porous collection belt above a vacuum chamber.
- Preferred materials that fall within these generic classes include, poly (vinylchloride), polymethylmethacrylate (and other acrylic resins), polystyrene, and copolymers thereof (including ABA type block copolymers), poly (vinylidene fluoride), poly (vinylidene chloride), polyvinylalcohol in various degrees of hydrolysis (87% to 99.5%) in crosslinked and non-crossl inked forms.
- Preferred addition polymers tend to be glassy (a T 9 greater than room temperature). This is the case for polyvinylchloride and polymethylmethacrylate, polystyrene polymer compositions or alloys or low in crystallinity for polyvinylidene fluoride and polyvinylalcohol materials.
- polyamide condensation polymers are nylon materials, such as nylon-6, nylon-6,6, nylon 6,6-6,10, and the like.
- any thermoplastic polymer capable of being melt blown into nanofibers can be used, including polyolefins, such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polybutylene, polyesters such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polyamides, such as the nylon polymers listed above. It can be advantageous to add known-in-the-art plasticizers to the various polymers described above, in order to reduce the T 9 of the fiber polymer.
- Suitable plasticizers will depend upon the polymer to be electrospun or electroblown, as well as upon the particular end use into which the nanoweb will be introduced.
- nylon polymers can be plasticized with water or even residual solvent remaining from the electrospinning or electroblowing process.
- plasticizers which can be useful in lowering polymer T 9 include, but are not limited to aliphatic glycols, aromatic sulphanomides, phthalate esters, including but not limited to those selected from the group consisting of dibutyl phthalate, dihexl phthalate, dicyclohexyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate, diisodecyl phthalate, diundecyl phthalate, didodecanyl phthalate, and diphenyl phthalate, and the like.
- the Handbook of Plasticizers edited by George Wypych, 2004 Chemtec Publishing, incorporated herein by reference, discloses other polymer/plasticizer combinations which can be used in the present invention.
- the as-spun nanoweb of the present invention can be calendered in order to impart the desired physical properties to the fabric of the invention, as disclosed in co-pending U.S. Patent Application No. 11/523,827, filed September 20, 2006 and incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- the as-spun nanoweb can be fed into the nip between two unpatterned rolls in which one roll is an unpatterned soft roll and one roll is an unpatterned hard roll, and the temperature of the hard roll is maintained at a temperature that is between the T 9 , herein defined as the temperature at which the polymer undergoes a transition from glassy to rubbery state, and the T om , herein defined as the temperature of the onset of melting of the polymer, such that the nanofibers of the nanoweb are at a plasticized state when passing through the calendar nip.
- the composition and hardness of the rolls can be varied to yield the desired end use properties of the fabric.
- One roll can be a hard metal, such as stainless steel, and the other a soft-metal or polymer- coated roll or a composite roll having a hardness less than Rockwell B 70.
- the residence time of the web in the nip between the two rolls is controlled by the line speed of the web, preferably between about 1 m/min and about 50 m/min, and the footprint between the two rolls is the MD distance that the web travels in contact with both rolls simultaneously.
- the footprint is controlled by the pressure exerted at the nip between the two rolls and is measured generally in force per linear CD dimension of roll, and is preferably between about 1 mm and about 30 mm.
