Background technology
1991, doctor Iijima found CNT (CNTs), has the performances such as unique mechanics, electricity due to it, just becomes at once a study hotspot of chemistry, physics and material science.
But the structure of CNT, when giving its excellent properties, has also determined its limitation in application process.CNTs surface has large π key, and few surface defects lacks active group, makes neither hydrophilic also oleophylic not of its surface, is difficult in various solvents, disperse and dissolve (Xu G.D., Zhu B., Han Y., et al.Polym., 2007,48:7510-7515; Dang Z.M., Wang L., Zhang L.P.J.Nanom, 2006,2006:1-5).In addition, CNTs has large specific area, draw ratio and stronger Van der Waals force, makes it easily reunite or be wound around, and destroys the excellent properties of single CNTs.Therefore, CNTs is carried out to modification and become a key in its research and application to improve its dispersiveness.
Common carbon nano-tube modification method has two kinds.A kind of is covalent modified, normally utilizes the defect generation chemical reaction on CNTs surface or terminal position, forms specific functional group or connects functional molecular.Covalent modified oxidation (the Chinese patent ZL200610118122.6 that comprises of CNTs; Zhao X.D., Lin W.R., Song N.H., et al., J.Mater.Chem., 2006,16:4619-4625; Chinese patent application publication number: CN 101970550), fluoridize (Im J.S., Kang S.C., Bai B.C., et al., Carbon, 2011,49:2235-2244.) and polymer graft etc. (Chinese patent ZL200410028338.4).Another kind of right and wrong are covalent modified, utilize the hydrophobic surface on CNTs surface and pi-electron structure and other molecule to be combined by weak interactions such as hydrophobic force, π-π are stacking, make the organic molecule winding of solubility or are adsorbed on the surface of CNTs.Material for non-covalent modification mainly comprises: surfactant, as (Chinese patent application publication numbers: CN 102275899A such as DTABs; Chinese patent ZL 200810159180.2); Aromatic ring base polymer, as dissaving polymer (the Chinese patent ZL 200510101253.9 of poly-p styrene sulfonic acid and triarylamine; Chinese patent application publication number: CN 101679039A).
Because synthetic fiber belong to dielectric category, its resistance is very large, and electrical conductivity is very little, is therefore easy to gather static.The static gathering not only makes textile processing be difficult to carry out smoothly, and brings inconvenience to people's life.In order to eliminate the static of fiber and fabric thereof, prevent the generation of harm, the mankind just start to develop antistatic, conductive fiber from the sixties in 20th century.Because CNTs has superior electric property, researcher is applied to prepare electrically conductive composite fibre.At present, the preparation method of CNTs/ conducting polymer composite fibre mainly contains solution spinning, method of electrostatic spinning and melt spinning method.
Chinese patent ZL 200710036886.5 provides a kind of preparation method of Lyocell fiber of carbon nanotubes, first by CNTs pickling purifying, with surfactant, it is carried out to functionalization again, then utilizing ultrasonic wave that the CNTs of functionalization is dispersed in to moisture is in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide water solution of 20 ~ 30%, adopt conventional Lyocell technique dry-wet spinning, preparing CNTs content is the CNTs/Lyocell composite fibre of 0.1 ~ 10wt.%.The method has realized dispersed in Lyocell fiber of CNTs, has significantly improved mechanical property and the electrical conductivity of Lyocell fiber.Chinese patent ZL200510029612.4 is made into co-blended spinning solution by surface-functionalized CNTs and polymer, through method of electrostatic spinning, makes composite fibre.
Skrifvars etc. (Skrifvars S., Soroudi, A., Solid State Phenomena, 2009,151:43-47) adopt melt spinning method, MWNT-PP master batch and PP are carried out to co-blended spinning, prepare electrically conductive composite fibre.When MWCNT content is 1.5wt%, the electrical conductivity of fiber reaches 10
-5s/cm, illustrates that its percolation threshold is lower than 1.5wt%; When MWCNT content is 7.5wt%, the electrical conductivity of fiber is 10
-3s/cm, but now the diameter thickness of fiber is uneven, widely different; When MWCNT content is further increased to 15wt%, although the electrical conductivity of fiber can reach 2.8S/cm, the non-constant of fibre property, during spinning, frequent fracture of wire, causes difficulty in spinning.(the Hooshmand S. such as Hooshmand, Soroudi A., Skrifvars M., SyntheticMetals, 2011,161 (15-16): 1731-1737) adopt melt spinning method, MWNT-PP master batch and PA, PP are carried out to co-blended spinning and prepare electrically conductive composite fibre, research is found: increase the temperature of content or the raising melt blending of PA, all can effectively improve electric conductivity and the mechanical property of fiber.When sample composition is 30wt%PP, 65wt%PA, 5wt%CNT and 1phr compatilizer, the as-spun fibre obtaining after 3 times of drawing-offs, though the mechanical property of fiber be improved, but electrical conductivity is only 10
-6s/cm.
More than prepare in the polymer composite fibrous method of CNTs/, adopt solution spinning and method of electrostatic spinning to exist and need carry out to CNTs the shortcomings such as covalent modified, complicated process of preparation, and method of electrostatic spinning is also far from industrialization at present.Melt spinning method technique is simple and cost is lower, but the master batch containing CNTs need first be prepared or buy to existing method, and has the shortcomings such as CNTs content is low, bad dispersibility, and the electric conductivity of the composite fibre preparing is also poor.Therefore adopt a polymer that contains aromatic ring and itrile group roughly the same time as dispersant, by non-covalent modification, can significantly improve the dispersive property of CNTs in fibrous matrix polymer, be very significant thereby prepare the composite fibre that CNTs content is high, electric conductivity is excellent.
