An Innovative Method for Microcapsule Based Functional Yarn Production

ORCID Icon, , , &
 

ABSTRACT

Today, microcapsule application to textile materials is a widely used for the production of functional textile products. Microcapsule application methods used in practice have some significant disadvantages. There is a need for innovative methods to eliminate or minimize these disadvantages. From this point of view, in this study, it was aimed to develop an alternative method based on integrating microcapsule particles into the open staple fiber bundle before the spun yarn formation on the classical ring spinning. It was thought that this application method could allow the incorporating microcapsules not only the fibers on the yarn surface but also to the surface of the fibers in the yarn structure. Microcapsule doped and undoped ring spun yarns having Ne 16 yarn count with knitted twist were produced from viscose fibers. Obtained ring spun yarns were subjected to winding and knitting processes in order to analyze the effect of friction on the microcapsule presence. SEM images taken from yarn and fabric samples were examined. Additionally, yarn properties were analyzed. In order to evaluate the performance of the alternative method, microcapsule dispersion at the same concentration was applied to the knitted fabrics using pad-dry-cure method, which was widely used for production of the functional textile products. Two types of microcapsule applied knitted fabric samples were washed several times and presence of microcapsules was evaluated with SEM images. Furthermore, thermal properties of the both types of application methods were compared by examining T-history curves. The findings indicated that the alternative method offers comparable yarn and thermal properties with environmentally friendly application as well as washable and durable to the friction effects occurring in industrial processes.

摘要

如今,微胶囊在纺织材料中的应用已被广泛用于生产功能性纺织品. 实践中使用的微胶囊应用方法有一些明显的缺点. 需要创新的方法来消除或尽量减少这些缺点. 从这一观点出发,本研究旨在开发一种替代方法,即在传统环锭纺成纱之前,将微胶囊颗粒整合到开放式短纤维束中. 据认为,这种应用方法不仅可以将微胶囊引入纱线表面,还可以将微胶囊引入纱线结构中的纤维表面. 以粘胶纤维为原料,制备了具有Ne 16纱线支数和针织捻度的微胶囊掺杂和未掺杂环锭纱. 为了分析摩擦对微胶囊存在的影响,对获得的环锭纱进行卷绕和编织工艺. 对纱线和织物样品的SEM图像进行了检查. 此外,还对纱线性能进行了分析. 为了评价替代方法的性能,将相同浓度的微胶囊分散剂应用于针织物上,采用了广泛用于生产功能性纺织品的垫干固化法. 将两种微胶囊应用于针织物样品进行多次洗涤,并通过SEM图像评估微胶囊的存在. 此外,通过检查T-历史曲线,比较了两种应用方法的热性能. 研究结果表明,替代方法可提供与环境友好应用相当的纱线和热性能,以及可水洗和耐用的工业过程中发生的摩擦效应.
