NOVEL METAL POLYOXIDE, AND FUNCTIONAL FIBER OR TEXTILE PREPARED USING METAL POLYOXIDE

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a novel metal polyoxides, and a functional fiber or textile prepared using the metal polyoxides.

BACKGROUND ART

Metal polyoxides (henceforth referred to as MP) is a polyatomic ion that is mainly negative ion and is comprised of three or more clusters of transition metal oxygen anion with big three-dimensional structure as the elements are connected by oxygen atoms.

Metal atoms that construct metal polyoxides are mostly transition metals with five or six groups with a high state of oxidation wherein the electron configuration is either d⁰or d¹. Specific examples of metal atoms are vanadium (V), niobium (V), tantalum (V), molybdenum (VI), and tungsten (VI).

MP can be largely classified into two types, i.e., isopoly anion comprised of only transition metal and oxide anion, and hetero poly anion comprising heteroatom with p or d orbital in addition to the transition metal and oxide anion. Representative example of the hetero poly anion is phosphotungstate anion, wherein framework structure of transition metal oxygen anion is surrounded by heteroatom such as silicon and phosphorus and shares neighboring oxygen atom.

The very first MP compound, ammonium phosphomolybdate ([PMo₁₂O₄₀]³⁻) was discovered in 1826. In 1934, it was discovered that ammonium phosphomolybdate has the same structure with phosphotungstate anion and was referred to as the Keggin Structure thenceforth. pho After this discovery, MP with high symmetry as well as organic and inorganic hybrid substances had been developed wherein their magnetic, optical, medical characteristics and related applied researches had been made known.

MP has different basic framework according to the type of compound. The most well-known framework is Keggin heteropoly anion ([Xⁿ⁺M₁₂O₄₀]^(8-n)−) with characteristics such as having well established identification of the compounds optically, being easily synthesized and having very stable structure. In the case of this Keggin structure, compound such as molybdate and tungstate are commonplace wherein molybdate and tungstate may be substituted with other transition metal, organic metal or organic group. Lindqvist structure has isopoly anion structure wherein decavanadate, paratungstate and molybdenum 36-polymolybdate have heteropolyanion structure. Keggin and Dawson structure has tetrahedron coordinate structure with phosphorus or silicon atom at the center wherein Anderson structure has octahedron coordinate structure with aluminum atom at the center. There are other known basic structures aside from the ones that had been mentioned.

The metal atom known as ‘addenda atom’ usually refers to molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium and others. When two or more metal atoms are included in the framework structure, it is referred to as ‘compound addenda cluster’. Ligand, which is usually an oxide anion, has cross-linking framework structure wherein the oxide anion can be substituted by bromide dioxide, nitrosyl or an alkoxy. Typical formation of framework structure has polyhedron unit with metal in the center with 4 to 7 coordination. These units share the edge or vertex of the entire framework structure.

Hetero atom is located at central part of the anion in the MP wherein various coordination numbers such as 4 coordination (it can be usually found in Keggin, Dawson, and Lindqvist structure and in tetrahedron, PO₄, SiO₄, AsO₄and more) 6 coordination (Anderson structure, octahedron, A1(OH)₆, TeO₆), 8 coordination (tetragon anti-prism, [(CeO₈)W₁₀O₂₈]⁸⁻), and 12 coordination (icosahedrons, [(UO₁₂)Mo₁₂O₃₀]⁸⁻) exists. Most interesting thing about the MP structure is that it usually has structural isomer. Keggin structure has five isomer structures and four M₃O₁₃units have been rotated by 60 degrees.

The huge size and structure of MP that had been explained previously shows various characteristics such as solubility of water and organic solvent, stability in terms of heat, low toxicity, ability as carrier of electricity and oxygen, strong absorption in the ultraviolet visible light (<400 nm), maintaining the structure when returned as well as re-oxidation of returned MP through various oxidizer such as oxygen, proton, metal anion among others.

MP with different types of structure had been synthesized until the present and its structure had been made known wherein various characteristics of MP as it had been mentioned shows that how it can be widely applied to interesting areas. Characteristics of MP are very dependent on the types of metal and its structure. Therefore, new development of MP with various metal atoms can boost the characteristics of pre-existing MP. It is a very significant area of interest in the sense that there are possibilities of discovering entirely new characteristics.

Moreover, there are more consumers that demand for more comfort as the quality of life has been increased. In order to meet this need, functional textile with antibacterial effects, far-infrared ray and anion eliminates various microorganisms that live as parasites in the fiber and thereby causing various diseases and bad odor which guarantees good quality of life. Currently, this functional textile is being used for various purposes and demand for it is significantly on the rise.

The method used in prior art to add antibacterial function is to coat the surface with silver (Ag) or silver salt (Ag salt) (U.S. Pat. No. 5,395,651); method of coating the surface with biguanide (U.S. Pat. No. 4,999,210, No. 5.013,306 and No. 5,707,366); method of coating the surface with alumino-silicate or zeolite (U.S. Pat. No. 5,556,699); and the method of coating the surface with polyisocyanate, organic functional silane and composite which is a reaction product that includes silane copolymer (U.S. Pat. No. 6,596,401) among others.

Prior art mainly uses the method of coating or sticking inorganic antibacterial substance to the fiber, textile or surface of the equipment. However, such a physical adsorption method has short-lived effect and can easily be washed away during cleaning. Especially, the inorganic ceramic antibacterial has its own strong color and presents the problem of not being able to dye it with various colors.

Therefore, there is a need for research and development for producing new type of functional fiber or textile that can solve the problem regarding functional decline and changes in inherent characteristics due to physical absorption process.

The inventors of present invention have confirmed that if MP is added to the fiber or textile after cationization thereof, owing to strong ionic bonding, functionality of the fiber or textile is not decreased until the fiber or textile is worn out, inherent characteristics of fiber or the textile do not change, excellent antibacterial and deodorizing effects are shown and also surface resistance is increased, and the present invention has been thus completed.
