And so on.
In the supatex fabric field, exploring a kind of high bulk textiles for a long time, as having the product of high extensibility with the combined characteristic of high elongation answer always.This kind fabric is collectively referred to as " elastic nonwovens ".Can adopt several different methods to prepare elastic nonwovens.
A kind of method of producing elastic nonwovens adopts the staple fibre that curls, and wherein the entanglement of crimped fibre provides cohesive force and the answer that needs in the elastic nonwovens.Under some situation of this area, crimped fibre is shaped as felt and utilizes air or (operating) water nozzle reaches interlacing.Under other situation of this area, at first will have the potential straight or straight substantially fibre forming that batches is felt, thereby makes potential batching manifest the structure that creates " tangling certainly " by heating then.Yet technical this kind elastic nonwovens lacks according to the toughness of the product definition of tensile modulus and extension at break and to many weavings and the useful density of industrial use.The toughness of fabric determines its " elasticity " just, in other words the degree that its can be stretched with and the power of replying.The elastic nonwovens of this area is confined to low-density, perhaps uses technical term, has the very high bulk fabric of low elasticity.
People such as Aranaga, Japanese Kokai Heisei 11-158733 disclose a kind of by the wet shop method with potential polyethylene terephthalate of batching/polytrimethylene terephthalate bicomponent fiber shaping supatex fabric.The supatex fabric that obtains allegedly has the high percentage of replying.Should wet shop method comprise water thorn fiber process so that provide enough entanglement before curling manifesting.The supatex fabric of being produced can be characterised in that in the 0.3mm heavy weave and reach 30g/m whereby
2Basic weight.Think that in Aranaga and other document the high crimped fibre of replying has the potentiality that prepare the high value supatex fabric.Yet Aranaga recognizes that clearly challenge is, the fiber with high retraction force has the tendency of curling independently, thereby causes the increase with the fabric bulkiness that is reduced to cost of the formation of tangling.It also usually causes breaking of fabric during the contraction.Consequently be confined to be fit to the high bulk fabric of non-bearing occasion usually, and the potentiality of high recovery characteristic fiber are not fully exerted.
Furukawa, United States Patent (USP) 4,469,540 disclose a kind of supatex fabric of high loft, its bulk density<0.020g/cm
3, make by curling polyolefin two-component staple fiber.Crimp frequency greater than 4.7 every centimetre (cm) (12 curling per inch) that curl is allegedly unfavorable to the fibre web shaping, because it makes web density too high.According to the structure of Furukawa, it is said, reach " melt-adhesions " and described melt-adhesion by heat bonding, rather than fibre matting, allegedly, be that structure is maintained together primary mechanism.
People such as Stokes, WO 00/18995, discloses a kind ofly to be shaped by the crimp bicomponent polyamide fiber, carries out crosslinked to keep resilience to make the method for compression bulked non-woven fabric subsequently.
People such as Terakawa, EP 0 391 260 B1 disclose a kind of method of being made supatex fabric by continuous bi-component polyamide fiber, the yarn beam that wherein has the potential nascent spinning that batches accepts air-entangled, be heated to and manifest curling temperature, is heated to cause the temperature bonding in the crosspoint again.Supatex fabric according to Terakawa has the 0.030g/cm of being lower than
3Density.People such as Shawver, United States Patent (USP) 5,540,976 disclose a kind of elastic nonwovens, are laminated on the elastomer internal layer sheet material by spunbonded materials and make.
People such as Pike, United States Patent (USP) 5,418,045 discloses a kind of shaping of nonwoven web, with continuous multicomponent thermoplastic fibre, particularly polyolefin with latent crimp is raw material, and makes fiber curl in various degree various in air before being configured as the nonwoven web of heat bonding.

Detailed Description Of The Invention
Technical knownly have potential bicomponent fibre planar array of batching by preparation, is generally fiber mat, thereby heats subsequently to manifest the curling fibre matting that makes, and the result produces a kind of stable nonwoven fabric structure and prepares supatex fabric. Curling manifesting during the step, fiber mat or other structure planar shrink, and are accompanied by expansion along the direction perpendicular to this plane simultaneously. As a result, technical this supatex fabric has quite low bulk density usually, far below 0.1g/cm3 As a result, they are limited in many use value of the field of textiles that high tenacity or high resiliency reply that require.
The present invention is based on following discovery: high curlingly, high reply the formation of tangling between the fiber and can encourage along its expansion perpendicular to the direction on fabric plane during manifesting process curling by careful control fabric. In the method for prior art, curling manifesting causes a large amount of contractions planar usually, follows simultaneously the edge perpendicular to the expansion of the direction on this plane.
In the methods of the invention, in the first step, place the planar array that has the potential asymmetric bicomponent fiber that batches in a large number and form described fiber, the described fiber overwhelming majority is along being orientated in its plane, and wherein most described fibers are in to intersect with at least one other described fiber and contact.In a kind of embodiment preferred, described planar array is known as " fiber mat parison " here, and to point out a kind of nonwoven fabric structure, it also will be accepted second step of the inventive method subsequently and handle, that is, curling manifests step.Curling, to manifest step be curling to manifest by the flat heated array, and planar array is configured between 2 attachment surfaces therebetween, and this attachment surface is along the planar orientation that is roughly parallel to planar array at least.Distance between 2 attachment surfaces is adjusted to, and certain part is at least curled manifest planar array during the step to suffer restraints because of contacting these two attachment surfaces simultaneously along the expansion perpendicular to the direction of plane surface.A kind of compression stress to the array in shrinking is introduced in this kind contact during expansion step.The supatex fabric that is obtained shows than by comparable raw material but do not limit it along perpendicular to higher density of the made supatex fabric of the expansion of the direction of plane surface and more solid physical property.
The bicomponent fiber that is fit to the inventive method is the fiber that comprises two kinds of polymer, preferably belongs to same classification, is present in two continuous phases adjacent one another are, and these two show different contractions mutually, can manifest helix-coil whereby after contraction.These two phases can be arranged in arranged side by side or asymmetric sheath core arrangement mode.It is preferred arranging side by side.Suitable bicomponent fiber includes but not limited to bi-component polyester, bi-component polyamide and bi-component polyolefin.Polyester is preferred.In the copolymer of the polymer of these big class inside is also included within.In the middle of polyester, the kind of preferred bicomponent fiber comprises polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/polytrimethylene terephthalate (PPT), PET/ polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) (PBT) and PPT/PBT, preferred PET/PPT.
Also belong in term " bi-component " scope is the fiber that is known as two compositions sometimes---promptly comprise by different classes of polymer, for example, polyamide and polyester.But biconstitutent fibre is so not preferred.
With regard to the object of the invention, having the potential fiber that batches is such fiber, it has and utilizes two kinds of components to manifest extra endogenous capacity of curling in the difference of shrinking aspect the behavior, typical method be by at least a component is heated to its glass transition temperature with on realize.The potential fiber that batches can () shows and certain curl or do not show any curling.In enforcement of the present invention, potential to batch fiber preferably straight, do not have curling.
The inventor finds, manifesting when curling is to make when implementing under the bound condition of expansion of fabric edge perpendicular to the direction on its plane, for example, fabric is clipped in when implementing between 2 metallic plates that are parallel to the fiber mat parison, its effect is to make fabric that remarkable densification take place, and single fiber will become and tangle all the more to heavens.The result is, is that the fabric of feedstock production is compared with adopting art methods with identical fibre felt parison, and tightr, tough and tensile fabric and improved elongation are replied.
The degree of densification and the performance that may reach will depend on special fiber type of the present invention, and the original bulk density of planar array, the degree that fiber overlaps each other, and the spacing between the attachment surface.Other parameter is the same, the spacing between higher crimp shrinkage, the bigger fiber between overlapping degree, higher initial bulk density and the narrower attachment surface (until fiber no longer slide and curl obviously be suppressed this point till) all reply and interrelate with the supatex fabric product of higher density, higher toughness and higher elongation.
The benefit of the inventive method is quite general, and can be applicable to the preparation of the supatex fabric of any composition basically, as long as have the planar array that the potential bicomponent fiber that batches is used to overlapping fiber.
The fiber of Shi Yonging can be taked continuous or long stapled form in the present invention, and perhaps they can be regular staples.Continuous fibers can be spun into multifilament textile form but preferably with the form of single fiber deposition to make the fiber mat parison.Preferred staple length is 3~25mm, and preferred staple fibre fiber number is every rhizoid of 0.5~6 dawn (dpf).In preferred embodiments, fiber is that the content ratio is 70: 30~30: 70, preferred 60: 40~40: 60 PET and PPT two-component staple fiber.
In a more preferred embodiment, the fiber that the present invention adopts is the PET/PPT two-component staple fiber that does not curl, and has at least 40%, preferred 70~80% potentially batch contraction.PET and PPT are crystallizable polymers.Yet PPT shows the crystalline rate higher than PET.
Preferentially being used for PET/PPT fiber of the present invention can prepare like this: with inherent viscosity (I.V.) is 0.4~0.8, preferred 0.5~0.6 PET melt-flow and I.V. equal 0.8~1.5, preferred 0.9~1.0 PPT melt-flow merges, and the stream thigh that will merge is delivered to the porous spinning filament plate, thus, the stream thigh is with 260~285 ℃, and preferred 265 ℃~270 ℃ temperature is extruded.Extrudate is through collecting, quenching, subsequently without drafting step batch.Spinning speed is 1900~3500m/min, preferred 2000~3000m/min.After the spinning, yarn is cut to 3~25mm, the length of preferred 20~25mm.I.V. according to 25 ℃, in parachlorophenol, measure.
The concrete spinning speed numerical value that those skilled in the art will recognize that the fibre property that requirement is provided will depend on the concrete parameter of polymer, spinning temperature, fibre diameter and the quenching type etc. of concrete selection.Those skilled in the art understand that also the spinning speed scope that is fit to the PET/PPT fiber will be different from the spinning speed scope that is fit to other composition.For example, have now found that for the PET/PBT fiber, opereating specification is about 1700~3200m/min, preferred 1800~3000m/min; For the PPT/PBT fiber, opereating specification is 600~2000m/min, preferred 800~1600m/min.
So the short fiber yarn of preparation subsequently by surfactant according to 0.05g/l, the solids content scope of preferred 0.25g/l~0.75g/l is dispersed in the water.Dispersion stirs but must not cause turbulent flow, thereby obtains fibre blend even, that fully disperse.This fiber dispersion is deposited on the porous substrate subsequently, and unnecessary water is fallen by leaching, and the fiber mat of Huo Deing is being lower than 70 ℃ then, and preferred about 40 ℃ temperature is carried out drying.Preferably, dryly carry out in surperficial blotting it.
The means of other loosen collagen fibre and medium also can adopt.Fiber can utilize the liquid dispersion beyond the water, as long as this liquid is inertia substantially.Perhaps fiber can be dispersed in the gaseous medium, and for example, air is perhaps at supercritical CO
2In.Yet water dispersibility method adopts the technology that is similar to well-known papermaking process, and is the most convenient therefore also preferred.
