Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for producing fibers or a fiber product in an electrostatic spinning process.
  • the production of fibers or fiber products, e.g. of nonwovens, in an electrostatic spinning process has been known in principle from the prior art for some time.
  • a polymer solution or a polymer melt is applied to an electrode and charged by a high electrical voltage. If you now bring a counter electrode in the vicinity, then electrical forces act on the polymer solution or on the polymer melt and pull the finest fibers from this electrode.
  • Various electrode and applicator devices have already been described for carrying out these methods. Representative here are e.g. DE 20 32 072, EP 1 059 106, US 3,994,258, US 4,144,553, US 4,323,525 and US 4,287,139.
  • DE 20 32 072 discloses the fiber diameter of the fiber produced during spinning of a polymer solution in an electrostatic spinning process. In this case, with an improved conductivity of the polymer solution to be spun fibers with a smaller fiber diameter can be obtained.
  • DE 20 32 072 discloses the addition of ionizable organic salts.
  • EP 1 059 106 likewise discloses additives for controlling the charge, viscosity, surface tension and the conductivity of a polymer solution or polymer melt to be spun in an electrostatic spinning process.
  • these additives are expressly used to improve the spinning of the polymer solution or the polymer melt, without a remaining charge or To charge the generated fibers.
  • a permanent electrical charging of the fibers or fiber products produced is to be avoided according to the teaching of EP 1 059 106.
  • this is disadvantageous for the use of these materials for the filtering of air, since it is only possible to mechanically deposit dust particles without electrically charged fibers.
  • the method mentioned in the introduction is inventively further developed in that polymers are spun from solution and / or from the melt and the solution and / or the melt before spinning one or more oxidizable substances or substances are added with a ⁇ -electron system, whereby the charge advantageously increased in the solution to be spun and preserved in the fibers. That the process according to the invention makes it possible to produce electrically charged fibers or a fiber product consisting of such fibers in an electrostatic spinning process.
  • the products of the process according to the invention are preferably used in the production of filter materials.
  • the added substance or the added substances preferably at least stabilize a positive charge or these Have substances in the corresponding solvent over one or more oxidation potentials, which can be determined by cyclic voltammetry.
  • the present invention is based on the finding that a significant procedural improvement is possible when in the to be spun polymer solution or polymer melt a real excess charge is generated, acts on the electric field.
  • Bromothymol blue, methyl red, rhodamine B and crystal violet in dichloromethane as solvent and ferrocene as reference were measured cyclovoltammetrically to investigate this phenomenon.
  • Bromthymolblau has no oxidation potential in the measuring range, which is accessible in dichloromethane.
  • Bromthymolblau has also shown to be completely ineffective as an additive in dichloromethane in the context of the present invention.
  • methyl red, rhodamine B and crystal violet have oxidation potentials in the range from 0.9 to 1.14 V and are extremely effective representatives of the additives according to the invention.
  • Ferrocene itself with an oxidation potential of 0.38 V is also an effective additive.
  • solvents with comparatively high dielectric constants as particularly preferred e.g. Butanone, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, water, dimethylformamide, n-methylformamide, acetone, ethanol and ethylene glycol
  • solvents with comparatively high dielectric constants as particularly preferred e.g. Butanone, acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfoxide, water, dimethylformamide, n-methylformamide, acetone, ethanol and ethylene glycol
  • the content of polymer in the same can vary accordingly, in particular also increase.
  • the polarity of the solvent can be further increased or increased by adding a substance with a very high dielectric constant.
  • the solvent having a comparatively large dielectric constant has a relative dielectric constant of at least 15.0 at a temperature of 20 ° C.
  • the substance used to increase the polarity of the solvent having a very high dielectric constant or substances having very high dielectric constants respectively has or has a relative dielectric constant of at least 20.0, more preferably of at least 30.0 at 20 ° C. . exhibit.
  • diazonium dyes preferably diazo salts, e.g. Echtblausalz B or BB, Echtviolettsalz B or Echtrotsalz GG suitable.
  • charge transfer complexes such as e.g. crystal violet and iodine, or quinone and hydroquinone, have been found to be effective in the present invention.
  • much of the cited dyes are attributed to the basic or acid dyes, i. they are salts of negatively or positively charged dye molecules. It can be concluded that dye molecules charged from the outset represent a particularly suitable additive in the process according to the invention.
  • substances with an extended ⁇ -electron system which is preferably resonance-stabilized, are particularly well suited as an additive in the process according to the invention if they contain functional groups such as amino, amido, imino, azo, nitro , Carboxy, diazonium, hydroxy, thio, sulfo or halogen groups.
  • functional groups such as amino, amido, imino, azo, nitro , Carboxy, diazonium, hydroxy, thio, sulfo or halogen groups.
  • the addition of the one or more substances to the polymer solution or polymer melt can take place according to the invention over a relatively broad range.
  • the person skilled in the art will easily determine the required proportion by weight based on the desired and desired product properties in the end product. In principle, however, it is preferred if the addition of one or more substances takes place in an amount of from 0.1 to 50% by weight of the polymer solution or polymer melt, more preferably in an amount of from 0.5 to 5% by weight.
  • halogens preferably with chlorine, or strong acids or bases, nitrogen oxides or sulfur oxides.
  • hydrogen halides e.g. Hydrochloric acid gas
  • bases e.g. Ammonia
  • polymers can be spun with the process according to the invention, which can be spun from a solution or from the melt.
  • polymers soluble in organic solvents are mentioned here, such as polystyrene, polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, polyacrylate, polymethacrylate, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl acetal, polyvinyl ether, polyurethane, polyamide, polysulfone, polyethersulfone, polyacrylonitrile, cellulose derivatives, and the like Mixtures and copolymers of these polymers.
  • thermoplastics here are, for example, polyolefins, polyesters, polyoxymethylene, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, polyphenylene sulfide, polyaryletherketone, polyvinylidene fluoride and mixtures and copolymers of these polymers mentioned.
  • copolymers of polystyrene such as styrene / acrylonitrile copolymer, styrene / butadiene / styrene copolymer, acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene copolymer have been found to be particularly suitable.
