FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to a fiber, and more particularly to a deodorizing fiber which can be dehydrated after being washed several times.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

In recent years, consumers have paid great attention to the selection of textiles in terms of comfort in use, including moisture absorption and quick drying, heat storage and heat preservation, cool touch and antibacterial deodorization. Many functional fibers have been gradually developed according to market demand. As outdoor sports become more and more popular, eliminating the odor of clothing after exercise is an extremely important part of the consumer demand. In addition, consumers also hope to overcome issues related to body odor through the function of textiles.

In conventional deodorizing fibers, an active carbon-based material, for example, a porous material including bamboo charcoal or coconut shell carbon, is added to the fiber to adsorb the odor on the surface of the fiber to achieve a deodorizing effect.

The principle of the deodorizing material using a porous material to achieve the adsorption effect; however, the adsorption of the porous material can eventually be saturated. A preferred method is using the chemical reaction of the material to neutralize the odor to restore the deodorizing material, called the neutralization effect, by water washing.

Such deodorizing fibers have been disclosed in People's Republic of China Patent Publication No. CN102822411A, which is impregnated with a polyester fiber in an aqueous hydroxy acid solution, and which, after heat treatment, can be washed with water and have a deodorizing effect.

In a similar manner, in People's Republic of China Patent Publication No. CN103343456A, the fabric is impregnated with an aqueous solution of titanium dioxide, and after UV irradiation and heat treatment, the titanium dioxide would have photocatalytic property, so as to make the fabric have antibacterial and deodorizing characteristics.

In People's Republic of China Patent Publication No. CN1756870A, deodorizing particles (0.1-1.5 μm) are combined with resin and fiber by using an adhesive agent and then drying after heat treatment. After washing with water, the fabric may be inferior due to the bonding agent, and subsequent processes may decrease the effect of deodorization after washing.

In People's Republic of China Patent Publication No. CN102978727A, the fiber fabric spinning is made by the masterbatch which is made of an antibacterial agent, and post-treatment with antibacterial agent, so as to increase the antibacterial effect.

The modifier is gradually dropped into the deodorizing powder, the blade stirring rate is adjusted to 1000 rpm, and the dropwise acceleration rate is 1 ml/min. After the completion of the dropwise addition, the stirring tank is heated to 120° C. and stirred for 2 hours to volatilize the isopropanol, so as to obtain the modified deodorizing powder.

A method for preparing the deodorizing masterbatch of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

Based on the total weight of the deodorizing masterbatch, 1-30 wt % of the deodorizing powder, 50-95 wt % of the thermoplastic polymer, and 0.01-5 wt % of the antioxidant are used as raw materials. Further, the thermoplastic polymer is selected from polyester powder or polyester granules having an intrinsic viscosity from 0.2 to 2.0, and preferably 0.8.

After the above raw materials are uniformly mixed into a mixed powder, the mixed powder is kneaded by a twin-screw extruder; the thermoplastic polymer (or resin) is melted at a kneading temperature of 180-280° C. and a rotation speed of 250 rpm.

The deodorizing fiber of the present disclosure is obtained by melt-spinning the dried deodorizing masterbatch. The fiber structure of the deodorizing fiber can be formed by composite spinning to form a core-sheath structure, a core portion being polyester, a sheath portion being deodorizing masterbatch, and the core-sheath ratio (core/sheath) varies between 40/60 to 60/40. The deodorant is distributed on the outer layer of the fiber and can effectively react with the odor gas.

The method for producing the deodorizing fiber of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

The deodorizing masterbatch of the present disclosure is used as raw material, and is made into a core-sheath structure of deodorizing partial oriented yarn (POY) by conjugate spinning at a spinning temperature of 230° C. to 290° C. and a spinning take-up speed of 1000 m/min to 3000 m/min, and then the POY is made into a draw textured yarn (DTY) by false twisting, that is, the deodorizing fiber of the present disclosure. The deodorizing fiber has a diameter of 10-30 micrometers (μm) and a fiber fineness of 1-10 dpf.

The fiber structure of the deodorizing fiber of the present disclosure is a core-sheath structure, and the deodorizing powder is wrapped in the fiber sheath portion, so that after dewatering for 10 times, the deodorizing effect of the deodorizing fiber can be maintained. Therefore, the deodorizing fiber of the present disclosure can be widely used in the fiber application industry, and includes textile products for underwear, home furnishings, and outdoor sports.

Results

1. After the deodorizing powders of the first embodiment to the third embodiment were treated with the modifier 3-acryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, and the deodorizing powder of the fourth embodiment was treated with the modifier stearyl titanate, the deodorizing powder of each embodiment was mixed and granulated with resin and the dispersing agent. After the deodorizing masterbatch was dried, the pressure value was evaluated by a filter pressure tester, and the test value (see Table 2) was less than or equal to 0.5 bar/g, which represents well dispersion of the deodorizing powder in the polyester resin.

2. The deodorizing powder of the first comparative embodiment was not modified and was directly mixed and granulated with resin and the dispersing agent. After the deodorizing masterbatch was dried, the pressure value was evaluated by a filter pressure tester, and the test value (see Table 2) was 2.4 bar/g and over than 0.5 bar/g, which represent poor dispersion of the deodorizing powder in the polyester resin.

3. According to the above two conclusions, the deodorizing powder treated by the modifier can effectively help the deodorizing powder to be dispersed in the polyester resin, reduce the phenomenon of powder agglomeration, improve on the issue of rising pressure, and contribute to the smoothness of the spinning process of the deodorizing fiber.

4. The deodorizing masterbatch obtained from the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment were subjected to core-sheath type composite spinning after drying, the core was polyester, and the sheath was deodorizing masterbatch. After being rolled, the deodorizing fiber was processed into draw textured yarn, woven into a knitted fabric, and was measured after dyed. The deodorizing effect of the yarn made of surface-modified deodorizing powder was obviously greater than the yarn made of deodorizing powder that was not modified, as shown in Table 3. After washing for 10 times, the same results were obtained, as shown in Table 4.

5. Compared with the first comparative embodiment, the deodorizing effect of the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment had no obvious change before and after washing, since the deodorizing powder was directly added into the fiber and combined with resin, rather than post-processing (impregnation or coating) on the surface of the knitted fabric through an adhesive agent. Therefore, the deodorizing effect of the first embodiment to the third embodiment before and after washing is no different, as shown in Table 5.
