Patent Application
20200208307
Fabrics comprising cellulosic fibers are desirable by consumers for a variety of reasons. However, although fabrics comprising such fibers have a number of desireable characteristics, they also have shortcomings that are well known in the industry. For example, fabrics comprising cellulosic fibers, particularly regenerated cellulosic fibers, can be associated with poor dimensional stability (including a propensity to stretch), easily wrinkled, poor wicking, long drying times, and poor thermal conductivity, which can result in the fabric not feeling thermally cool under normal use. Although, cellulosic fibers are frequently blended with other natural and/or synthetic fibers to provide blended yarns designed to address some of the foregoing shortcomings, it has been found that the currently available blends of cellulosic fibers with other natural and/or synthetic fibers do not adequately address the range of deficiencies associated with cellulosic fibers.
Thus, despite advances in textile research, there remains an important need fabrics comprising cellulosic fibers that can address the know shortcomings of fabrics comprising such fibers such as poor wicking, drying time, dimensional stability, cooling properties, and thermal conductiveness, while maintaining the hand feel and function desired by consumers. These needs and other needs are satisfied by the present disclosure.

All publications mentioned herein are incorporated herein by reference to disclose and describe the methods and/or materials in connection with which the publications are cited. The publications discussed herein are provided solely for their disclosure prior to the filing date of the present application. Nothing herein is to be construed as an admission that the present invention is not entitled to antedate such publication by virtue of prior invention. Further, the dates of publication provided herein can be different from the actual publication dates, which can require independent confirmation.
While aspects of the present disclosure can be described and claimed in a particular statutory class, such as the system statutory class, this is for convenience only and one of skill in the art will understand that each aspect of the present disclosure can be described and claimed in any statutory class.
It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the disclosed compositions and methods belong. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the specification and relevant art and should not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly defined herein.
Prior to describing the various aspects of the present disclosure, the following definitions are provided and should be used unless otherwise indicated. Additional terms may be defined elsewhere in the present disclosure.
As used herein, “comprising” is to be interpreted as specifying the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, or components as referred to, but does not preclude the presence or addition of one or more features, integers, steps, or components, or groups thereof. Additionally, the term “comprising” is intended to include examples and aspects encompassed by the terms “consisting essentially of” and “consisting of.” Similarly, the term “consisting essentially of” is intended to include examples encompassed by the term “consisting of.”
As used herein, the term “produced from” is synonymous to “comprising”. As used herein, the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” “including,” “has,” “having,” “contains” or “containing,” or any other variation thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a composition, process, method article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements is not necessarily limited to only those elements but may include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such composition, process, method, article, or apparatus.
The transitional phrase “consisting of” excludes any element, step, or ingredient not specified. If in the claim, such a phrase would close the claim to the inclusion of materials other than those recited except for impurities ordinarily associated therewith. When the phrase “consisting of” appears in a clause of the body of a claim, rather than immediately following the preamble, it limits only the element set forth in that clause; other elements are not excluded from the claim as a whole.
The transitional phrase “consisting essentially of” is used to define a composition, method or apparatus that includes materials, steps, features, components, or elements, in addition to those literally discussed, provided that the additional materials, steps features, components, or elements do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s) of the claimed invention. The term “consisting essentially of” occupies a middle ground between “comprising” and “consisting of”.
Further, unless expressly stated to the contrary, “or” refers to an inclusive “or” and not to an exclusive “or”. For example, a condition A “or” B is satisfied by any one of the following: A is true (or present) and B is false (or not present), A is false (or not present) and B is true (or present), and both A and B are true (or present).
As used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a polymer,” “a yarn,” or “a fabric,” including, but not limited to, two or more such polymers, yarns, or fabrics, and the like. Therefore “a” or “an” should be read to include one or at least one, and the singular word form of the element or component also includes the plural unless the number is obviously meant to be singular.
It should be noted that ratios, concentrations, amounts, and other numerical data can be expressed herein in a range format. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint. It is also understood that there are a number of values disclosed herein, and that each value is also herein disclosed as “about” that particular value in addition to the value itself. For example, if the value “10” is disclosed, then “about 10” is also disclosed. Ranges can be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and/or to “about” another particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms a further aspect. For example, if the value “about 10” is disclosed, then “10” is also disclosed.
When a range is expressed, a further aspect includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. For example, where the stated range includes one or both of the limits, ranges excluding either or both of those included limits are also included in the disclosure, e.g. the phrase “x to y” includes the range from ‘x’ to ‘y’ as well as the range greater than ‘x’ and less than ‘y’. The range can also be expressed as an upper limit, e.g. ‘about x, y, z, or less’ and should be interpreted to include the specific ranges of ‘about x’, ‘about y’, and ‘about z’ as well as the ranges of ‘less than x’, less than y′, and ‘less than z’. Likewise, the phrase ‘about x, y, z, or greater’ should be interpreted to include the specific ranges of ‘about x’, ‘about y’, and ‘about z’ as well as the ranges of ‘greater than x’, greater than y′, and ‘greater than z’. In addition, the phrase “about ‘x’ to ‘y’”, where ‘x’ and ‘y’ are numerical values, includes “about ‘x’ to about ‘y’”.
It is to be understood that such a range format is used for convenience and brevity, and thus, should be interpreted in a flexible manner to include not only the numerical values explicitly recited as the limits of the range, but also to include all the individual numerical values or sub-ranges encompassed within that range as if each numerical value and sub-range is explicitly recited. To illustrate, a numerical range of “about 0.1% to 5%” should be interpreted to include not only the explicitly recited values of about 0.1% to about 5%, but also include individual values (e.g., about 1%, about 2%, about 3%, and about 4%) and the sub-ranges (e.g., about 0.5% to about 1.1%; about 5% to about 2.4%; about 0.5% to about 3.2%, and about 0.5% to about 4.4%, and other possible sub-ranges) within the indicated range. To further illustrate, when a range of “1 to 5” is recited, the recited range should be construed as including ranges “1 to 4”, “1 to 3”, “1-2”, “1-2 & 4-5”, “1-3 & 5”, and the like.
As used herein, the terms “about,” “approximate,” “at or about,” and “substantially” mean that the amount or value in question can be the exact value or a value that provides equivalent results or effects as recited in the claims or taught herein. That is, it is understood that amounts, sizes, formulations, parameters, and other quantities and characteristics are not and need not be exact, but may be approximate and/or larger or smaller, as desired, reflecting tolerances, conversion factors, rounding off, measurement error and the like, and other factors known to those of skill in the art such that equivalent results or effects are obtained. In some circumstances, the value that provides equivalent results or effects cannot be reasonably determined. In such cases, it is generally understood, as used herein, that “about” and “at or about” mean the nominal value indicated±10% variation unless otherwise indicated or inferred. In general, an amount, size, formulation, parameter or other quantity or characteristic is “about,” “approximate,” or “at or about” whether or not expressly stated to be such. It is understood that where “about,” “approximate,” or “at or about” is used before a quantitative value, the parameter also includes the specific quantitative value itself, unless specifically stated otherwise.
The terms “decrease”, “reduced”, “reduction” “decrease” or “inhibit” are all used herein generally to mean a decrease by a statistically significant amount. However, for avoidance of doubt, “reduced”, “reduction” or “decrease” or “inhibit” means a decrease by at least 10% as compared to a reference level, for example a decrease by at least about 20%, or at least about 30%, or at least about 40%, or at least about 50%, or at least about 60%, or at least about 70%, or at least about 80%, or at least about 90% or up to and including a 100% decrease (e.g. absent level as compared to a reference sample), or any decrease between 10-100% as compared to a reference level.
The terms “increased”, “increase” or “enhance” or “activate” are all used herein to generally mean an increase by a statically significant amount; for the avoidance of any doubt, the terms “increased”, “increase” or “enhance” or “activate” means an increase of at least 10% as compared to a reference level, for example an increase of at least about 20%, or at least about 30%, or at least about 40%, or at least about 50%, or at least about 60%, or at least about 70%, or at least about 80%, or at least about 90% or up to and including a 100% increase or any increase between 10-100% as compared to a reference level, or at least about a 2-fold, or at least about a 3-fold, or at least about a 4-fold, or at least about a 5-fold or at least about a 10-fold increase, or any increase between 2-fold and 10-fold or greater as compared to a reference level.
The term “statistically significant” or “significantly” refers to statistical significance and generally means at least two standard deviation (2SD) away from a reference level. The term refers to statistical evidence that there is a difference. It is defined as the probability of making a decision to reject the null hypothesis when the null hypothesis is actually true.
As used herein the terms “weight percent,” “wt %,” and “wt. %,” which can be used interchangeably, indicate the percent by weight of a given component based on the total weight of a composition of which it is a component, unless otherwise specified. That is, unless otherwise specified, all wt % values are based on the total weight of the composition. It should be understood that the sum of wt % values for all components in a disclosed composition or formulation are equal to 100. Alternatively, if the wt % value is based on the total weight of a subset of components in a composition, it should be understood that the sum of wt % values the specified components in the disclosed composition or formulation are equal to 100.
As used herein, the term “effective amount” refers to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired modification of a physical property of the composition or material. For example, an “effective amount” of a cooling composition refers to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired improvement in the property modulated by the cooling composition, e.g. achieving the desired enhancement in Qmax compared to a yarn or fabric without the effective amount. The specific level in terms of wt % in a composition required as an effective amount will depend upon a variety of factors including the amount and type of polymer and yarn, fabric use, and the like.
As used herein, the terms “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or cannot occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not.
The term “microscale” as used herein comprises a surface having a measurable feature in the range of from about 1 to about 1000 μm.
The term “nanoscale” as used herein comprises a surface having a measurable feature in the range of from about 1 to about 1000 nm.
The term “nanoparticle” as used herein comprises a nanoscale deposit of a homogenous or heterogeneous material. Nanoparticles may be regular or irregular in shape and may be formed from a plurality of co-deposited particles that form a composite nanoscale particle. Nanoparticles may be generally spherical in shape or have a composite shape formed from a plurality of co-deposited generally spherical particles. Exemplary shapes for the nanoparticles include, but are not limited to, spherical, rod, elliptical, cylindrical, disc, and the like. In some embodiments, the nanoparticles have a substantially spherical shape.
As used herein, reference to an element, e.g., a core component comprises Al, Ca, Cu, Fe . . . Zr” or “a core component comprises aluminum, calcium, copper, iron . . . zirconium,” is intended to be inclusive of any form or valency of the element as appropriate for a given compound or material in which the element is part of the composition of the compound or material, unless otherwise specified. That is, it is understood that a reference to a particular element in a composition or material is inclusive of ionic forms of the element in typical oxidation states for that element if the composition or material comprises the element as an ionic compound; covalently bonded forms of the element if the composition or material comprises the element as an covalent compound; and elemental forms (i.e., oxidation state of 0) as suitable or appropriate for the indicated if the composition or material comprises the element in an oxidation state of 0, e.g., Al as metallic aluminum.
As used herein, the term “transition metal” means an element whose atom has a partially filled d sub-shell, or which can give rise to cations with an incomplete d sub-shell, typically found in Groups 3-12 of the periodic table in Periods 4-7. Exemplary, but non-limiting, transition metals include titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, yttrium, zirconium, silver, tungsten, platinum, and gold.
As used herein, “nanosilver” and “nanosilver oxide,” can be used interchangeably, and refer to silver oxide (i.e., silver (I) oxide, silver (II) oxide, or combinations thereof) in which the silver oxide is in a form comprising substantially a particulates, a powder, or combinations thereof, in which the particles and/or powder are nano-sized. That is the particles or powder, as appropriate, generally have a size of about 1 nm to about 1000 nm.
The term “denier” or abbreviated as “d” as used herein will be understood to be a relative measure of a fineness (or linear density) of a fiber or yarn. Denier is equivalent numerically to the weight in grams per 9,000 meters length of the material. The term “decitex” is another measure of a fineness of a fiber, which is equivalent to the weight in grams of a 10,000 meter length of the material.
As used herein, “multicomponent” refers to a fiber composed of more than one polymer.
As used herein, the term “fiber” refers to refers to any slender, elongated structure that can be carded, combed, or otherwise formed into a thread or filament. A fiber can comprise a natural material (e.g., cotton, linen or wool) or an artificial material (e.g., nylon, polyester). A fiber is a material in which the length to diameter ratio is greater than about 10. Fiber is typically classified according to its fineness. Fiber is generally defined as having a fiber fineness greater than about 15 denier, usually greater than about 30 denier. Fine denier fiber generally refers to a fiber having a fineness less than about 15 denier. Examples of fibers include “staple fibers”, a term that is well-known in the textile art. A reference to “fiber” of “fibers” may mean or include individual fibers or a plurality or bulk of fibers as the situation requires. A plurality of fibers may comprise fibers of different compositions or may be substantially uniform in composition. Thus, by way of illustration, a reference to “natural fiber” or “synthetic fiber” may mean and may include a single fiber of such type, or may mean any quantity or plurality of such fibers and they may be comprised in threads, felts, yarns, fabrics materials etc., all as will be apparent from the context.
The fiber can be a synthetic fiber or a natural or organic fiber. As one of skill in the art is well aware, smoothness of the outer surfaces is significantly varied between different fibers. Accordingly, the outer surface of the fiber can be smooth or rough. By way of example only, manmade fibers, such as polyester fibers, usually have a smooth outer surface. In contrast, natural fibers, such as cotton, usually have a rough outer surface. One consequence of the roughness of the outer surface is that rough surfaces take more fluid to completely cover the surface per unit diameter.
As used herein, “fiber” refers to any one of the various types of matter that form the basic elements of a textile and that is characterized by a flexible, macroscopically homogeneous body having a high ratio of length to width and being small in cross section, and may include one or more fibrous materials (e.g., fibers or filaments). It is understood that “fiber” includes “filaments.”
As used herein, “filament” refers generally to a continuous fiber of extremely long length, whereas a “staple fiber” means a fiber of finite length. A staple fiber can be a natural fiber or a fiber cut from, for example, a filament.
As used herein, “natural fibers” refer to fibers which are obtained from natural sources, such as cellulosic fibers and protein fibers, or which are formed by the regeneration of or processing of natural occurring fibers and/or products. Natural fibers are not intended to include fibers formed from petroleum products. Natural fibers include fibers formed from cellulose, such as cotton fiber and regenerated cellulose fiber, commonly referred to as rayon, or acetate fiber derived by reacting cellulose with acetic acid and acetic anhydride in the presence of sulfuric acid. As used herein, “natural fibers”, are intended to include natural fibers in any form, including individual filaments, and fibers present in yarns, fabrics and other textiles, while “individual natural fibers” is intended to refer to individual natural filaments.
As used herein, the term “cellulosic fiber” is intended to refer to a fiber comprising cellulose, and include, but are not limited to, cotton, linen, flax, rayon, cellulose acetate, cellulose triacetate, hemp and ramie fibers.
As used herein, the term “non-cotton cellulosic” fiber, yarn, or fabric means fibers, yarns, or fabrics which are comprised primarily of a cellulose based composition other than cotton. Examples of such compositions include linen, ramie, jute, flax, rayon, lyocell, cellulose acetate, bamboo and other similar compositions which are derived from non-cotton cellulosics.
As used herein, the term “rayon fiber” is intended to include, but is not limited to, a fiber comprising viscose rayon, high wet modulus rayon, cuprammonium rayon, saponified rayon, modal rayon and lyocell rayon.
“Protein fibers”, are intended to refer to fibers comprising proteins, and include, but are not limited to, wools, such as sheep wool, alpaca, vicuna, mohair, cashmere, guanaco, camel and llama, and silks.
As used herein, the term “synthetic fiber” refers to a fiber that is not prepared from naturally occurring filaments and include, but are not limited to, fibers made from components by polymerization, polycondensation or polyaddition. Materials for forming the synthetic fibers include, but are limited to, polyesters, polyamides such as nylons, polyacrylics, polyurethanes such as spandex, elastanes, elastodienes, fluoro fibers, acrylics, modacrylics, aramids, polyvinyl chlorides, polyvinylidene chloride, polyethylenes, polypropylenes and vinylals. Synthetic fibers include fibers formed from petroleum products. Synthetic-fiber containing materials are those that contain both the purely synthetic fiber and also natural materials.
“Polymers” are understood to include, but are not limited to, homopolymers, copolymers, such as for example, block, graft, random and alternating copolymers, terpolymers, etc. and blends and modifications thereof.
The term “polyamide” as used herein means the well-known fiber-forming substance that is a long-chain synthetic polyamide. The term particularly relates to poly (ε-caprolactam; “nylon 6”) and poly (hexamethylene adipamide; “nylon 6,6”) as well as their copolymers.
The term “polyester” as used herein is intended to embrace polymers wherein at least 85% of the recurring units are condensation products of dicarboxylic acids and dihydroxy alcohols with linkages created by formation of ester units. This includes aromatic, aliphatic, saturated, and unsaturated di-acids and di-alcohols. The term “polyester” as used herein also includes copolymers (such as block, graft, random and alternating copolymers), blends, and modifications thereof. A common example of a polyester is poly(ethylene terephthalate) which is a condensation product of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid.
As used herein, the term “polyurethane-polyurea copolymer” refers to synthetic polymers sold as “spandex” or “elastane” under the brand names of LYCRA (Invista), ELASPAN (Invista), ACEPORA (Taekwang), CREORA (Hyosung), INVIYA (Indorama Corporation), ROICA and DORLASTAN (Asahi Kasei), LINEL (Fillattice), and ESPA (Toyobo).
The term “filament fiber” including “monofilament fiber” and “multifilament fiber” means a fiber comprising one or more continuous strands of natural or synthetic material of indefinite (i.e., not predetermined) length, as opposed to a “staple fiber” which is a discontinuous strand of fiber of definite length (i.e., a strand which has been cut or otherwise divided into segments of a predetermined length).
Filaments are generally formed by the melting of polymer pellets or another source of polymer which is then forced through an extrusion die to produce a continuous fiber. A filament can be a single continuous extrusion, or may be a chopped apart extrusion such as to form a staple. This fiber can then be texturized directly (which is uncommon), or can be combined with other filaments to form a filament bundle with the resultant filament bundle can then be texturized.
As used herein, “composite fiber” refers to a continuous fiber in which two distinct polymers are intimately adhered to each other along the length of the fiber. In some instances, a composite filament is a filament or fiber that is composed of at least two distinct polymers which have been spun together to form a single filament or fiber. By the term “distinct polymers” it is meant that each of the at least two polymeric components are arranged in distinct substantially constantly positioned zones across the cross-section of the composite fiber and extend substantially continuously along the length of the fiber. Composite fibers are distinguished from fibers that are extruded from a homogeneous melt blend of polymeric materials in which zones of distinct polymers are not formed. The at least two distinct polymeric components useable herein can be chemically different or they can be chemically the same polymer, but have different physical characteristics, such as tacticity, intrinsic viscosity, melt viscosity, die swell, density, crystallinity, and melting point or softening point. One or more of the polymeric components in the composite fiber can be a blend of different polymers. A composite fiber can have a fiber cross-section that is, for example, a side-by-side, eccentric sheath-core, concentratic sheath-core, or other suitable cross-section.
As understood herein, “filaments”, which will be considered single strand synthetic fiber or polymer extrusions, and “yarns” or “filament bundles” are structures comprising a number of filaments combined together. For example, filaments are spun or otherwise interconnected, entangled, or arranged together form a filament bundle or yarn.
The term “yarn” refers a structure comprising a plurality of fibers that have been twisted, spun or otherwise joined together to form the yarn and may include spun yarns, continuous filament yarns, and yarns of core spun construction. The strands that that have been twisted, spun or otherwise joined together can be of natural or synthetic material, such as wool, nylon, or polyester, in a form suitable for sewing, knitting, weaving, or otherwise intertwining to form a textile fabric. In general, “yarn” refers to a product obtained when fibers are aligned. Yarns are products of substantial length and relatively small cross-section. Yarns may be single ply yarns, that is, having one yarn strand, or multiple ply yarns, such as 2-ply yarn that comprises two single yarns twisted together or 3-ply yarn that comprises three yarn strands twisted together. In various aspects, the disclosed composite fibers are used to prepare disclosed yarns. The disclosed yarns can be formed using staple fibers, using continuous fibers, or combinations thereof.
As used herein, “multifilament” means a yarn consisting of many continuous filaments or strands, as opposed to monofilament which is one strand. Most textile filament yarns are multifilament.
As used herein, “CSY” and “core spun yarn” can be used interchangeably to refer to a yarn made by twisting fibers around one or more core fibers or filaments, thus concealing the core fibers or filaments.
As used herein, “FDY” and “fully drawn yarn” can be used interchangeably to refer to filament yarns in which the draw ratio is normal so that full longitudinal orientation of polymer molecules.
As used herein, “POY” and “partially oriented yarn” can be used interchangeably to refer to filament yarns in which the draw ratio is less than normal so that only partial longitudinal orientation of the polymer molecules.
As used herein, the term “filament yarn” refers to a yarn that is composed of more than one fiber filaments that run the whole length of the yarn. Filament yarns can also be referred to as multi-filament yarns. The structure of a filament yarn is influenced by the amount of twist, and in some cases the fiber texturing. The properties of the filament yarn can be influenced by the structure of the yarn, fiber to fiber friction of the constituent fibers, and the properties of the constituent fibers. In some embodiments, the yarn structure and the recombinant protein fiber properties are chosen to impart various characteristics to the resulting yarns. The properties of the yarn can also be influenced by the number of fibers (i.e., filaments) in the yarn. The filament yarns disclosed herein can be multifilament yarns. Throughout this disclosure “filament yarns” can refer to flat filament yarns, textured filament yarns, drawn filament yarns, undrawn filament yarns, or filament yarns of any structure.
As used herein, the term “spun yarn” refers to a yarn that is made by twisting staple fibers together to make a cohesive yarn (or thread, or “single”). The structure of a spun yarn is influenced by the spinning methods parameters. The properties of the spun yarn are influenced by the structure of the yarn, as well as the constituent fibers.
As used herein, the term “blended yarn” refer to a type of yarn comprising various fibers being blended together.
As used herein, the term “warp direction” refers to the length direction or the machine direction of the fabric, and the term “weft direction” refers to the width direction or the cross machine direction of the fabric.
