POLYAMINO ACID-GRAFTED MODIFIED WATER-REPELLENT FABRIC AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR

Abstract

An amino group is grafted to a fiber surface, the ring-opening polymerization of aniline acid anhydride is initiated by the amino group on the fiber surface to form a graft chain, and a water-repellent fabric the fiber surface of which is modified by polyamino acid is prepared. The fabric treatment uses an amino group pre-grafted on a fiber surface as an initiator in the liquid phase, and initiates (substitutes), by means of ring-opening polymerization (ROP), aniline acid anhydride to complete graft polymerization on the fiber surface. The production conditions are mild, the preparation process of the product is simple, and operation is safe. In the disclosed water-repellent fabric obtained by chemical grafting, a functional protective layer on the fiber surface is covalently bonded to the fiber, thereby having excellent fastness without affecting the wearability of the fabric, thus the problem of a water-repellent fabric having poor fastness is solved.

The reaction solution was stirred at 0° C. for 1 h, and then transferred to room temperature for reaction for 15 hours. The solvent was removed in vacuum, and the obtained solid was dissolved in 300 mL of anhydrous dichloromethane, filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated to obtain about 23.3 g of light yellow crude product solid, with a yield of 69%. 23.0 g of light yellow solid was recrystallized in the mixed solution of anhydrous dichloromethane/n-hexane, and finally 12.9 g of white solid product (p-trifluorophenyl) aniline acid anhydride for polymerization was obtained, with a yield of 49.1%.

The existing ring-opening polymerization method for grafting modification of material surface is mainly about the grafting modification of the surfaces of silicon-based materials or metal materials. There are few literature reports on the research of using ring-opening polymerization method to obtain modification and functionality on the fiber surface. The ring-opening polymerization of the present invention changes from a ring compound monomer to a linear polymer through ring-opening reaction, and the reaction conditions are relatively mild; the side reaction is less than the polycondensation reaction, and it is easy to obtain the high molecular weight polymer, and the ring-opening polymerization does not release as much energy as the addition reaction. The thermal effect of the polymerization process is caused by the change of the ring tension, which can control the chemical composition of the surface of the base material to obtain the modification and functionality.
