The present application claims the benefit of Chinese Patent Application No. 201610541297.1 filed on Jul. 8, 2016. All the above are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present application relates to the field of textile technology, and more particularly to a biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric.
In the 21st century with low carbon, people are more inclined to the more malleable, breathable, fashionable and soft clothing. However, people wear various kinds of clothes in daily life, study and work and come into contact with many kinds of bacteria. Because of its water seepage and ventilation shape and polymer physical structure, clothing will breed a lot of harmful micro-organisms. Therefore, it is urgent for us to develop antibacterial clothing to protect people's health. A lot of attentions have been paid to the recycling of resources in modern society, and the green production has been realized by the emergence of biodegradable products.
At present, more and more attention has been paid to the use of control techniques to produce antibacterial clothing. The patent CN104260538A discloses a cotton fabric that uses a hydrophobic coating. The fabric consists of a base layer and an antibacterial layer. The antimicrobial layer is made of nano-silver fiber material which is intertwined with better antibacterial effect. However, the antimicrobial durability of this nano-silver fiber material is short and it is expensive.
The Patent CN104757724A discloses a moisture-absorbent quick-drying knitted fabric in which the chitosan/cotton fiber is the outer layer and the polypropylene fiber as the inner layer. The blending ratio of chitosan and cotton fiber is 20:80, and the inner polypropylene fiber layer is made of 75D/72F DTY polypropylene fiber. The chitosan and cotton fiber have strong moisture absorption, combined with the natural wetting function of polypropylene fibers, making the moisture of the inner polypropylene fiber smoothly transferred to the outer layer so that the inner layer remains dry and comfortable. This application has a fast drying property and the chitosan fiber is a natural antimicrobial material, so that this application also has an additional natural antibacterial function. However, the complexity of the production process, the complex manufacturing process, high cost of raw materials and the choice of relatively narrow range of raw materials and other shortcomings limit its wide range of applications in the field of textile materials.
The patent US 2014/0171890A1 discloses a method for producing an antibacterial fabric. By adding a nano silver particle to the bamboo pulp, it has antibacterial properties. The method can be widely used for mattresses, clothes, bed sheets, fabrics, etc. However, this application also has some drawbacks such as poor durability of the antibacterial properties of the fabric, and the silver nanoparticles have a certain influence on the health of the consumer.
The patent WO2008140337A1 discloses fabrics having antibacterial antistatic and ultraviolet properties. Similarly, there is a problem of poor antibacterial durability of the fabric, and the production process will produce pollution, which do not meet the theme of contemporary green production.
Aiming at problems of the processing technology of the existing antibacterial fabric that the antimicrobial durability is short and the pollution is produced in the production process after using chemical substances or adding silver ions, the present application proposes an antibacterial biodegradable knitted fabric, a cross section includes a front side of cross section made of wool short fiber yarns, an intermediate connection layer of cross section capable of transferring moisture and a rear side of cross section made of antibacterial filaments; the intermediate connection layer of cross section is made of filament yarns having a special shape capable of being inserted into the front side of cross section and the rear side of cross section so that the front side of cross section is connected with the rear side of cross section forming a double-sided fabric with different yarn and effect on each side.
The biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric according to the present application, wherein, the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric adopts a compound knitting structure with six rows.
The biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric according to the present application, wherein, a first row and a fourth row of the compound knitting structure with six rows consist of the front side of cross section, a second row and a fifth row consist of the rear side of cross section, and a third row and a sixth row consist of the intermediate connection layer of cross section.
The biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric according to the present application, wherein, the front side of cross section forms an outside of a knitted clothing; the rear side of cross section forms an inside of the knitted clothing; the intermediate connection layer of cross section forms a middle part of the knitted clothing; the intermediate connection layer of cross section is configured to connect the outside and the inside of the knitted clothing and transfer the moisture.
The biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric according to the present application, wherein, the front side of cross section can use wool short fiber materials, the intermediate connection layer of cross section is made of filament yarns having a special shape and the filament yarns are made of fabric that is made of blended fibers of a copolymer of antibacterial functional polylactic acid and poly 3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate; the rear side of cross section is made of fabric that is made of blended fibers of a copolymer of antibacterial functional polylactic acid and poly 3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate.
The biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric according to the present application, wherein, the antibacterial filaments may be one of synthetic filament yarns, natural fibers and chemical fiber blended yarns, and the filament yarns of the intermediate connection layer for transferring moisture may be one of polylactic acid filament yarns and Sirofil spun yarns.
The biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric according to the present application, wherein, in the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric, a bactericidal rate of white Candida albicans (CA) is more than 99% and a bactericidal rate of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and Streptococcus pyogenes (SP) is more than 99.97.
The traditional antibacterial fabric achieves the effect of antibacterial by using chemicals or adding silver ions, which has an adverse effect on the health of consumers. The antibacterial effect of these methods will not last long. Some antibacterial drugs are added to the treatment of antibacterial fabrics, which can cause a certain degree of pollution to fibers and fabrics, or the cost of raw materials for conventional antimicrobial fabrics is too high, which limits the use of antibacterial fabrics. Compared with the traditional technology, the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric proposed by the present application has a long time significant antibacterial effect by adopting a cross section structure with three layers and antibacterial material, and it does not contain any antimicrobials and metal ions, and has the advantages of low cost, easy manufacturing and long lasting antibacterial effect.
A further description of the present invention will be provided in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments, in the drawings:
The intermediate connection layer of cross section 102 of the biodegradable antibacterial knitted fabric is made of filament yarns having a special shape made of antibacterial materials. The special physical structure, such as a clover structure, making the front side of cross section 101 connected with the rear side of cross section 103. The antibacterial materials adopt blended fibers of a copolymer of antibacterial functional polylactic acid and poly 3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate. The intermediate connection layer of cross section 102 has not only a connection function but also an antibacterial and hydrophobic function. The rear side of cross section 103 is made of antibacterial filaments adopting blended fibers of a copolymer of antibacterial functional polylactic acid and poly 3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate, and can achieve the antibacterial function of the knitted fabric.
