Definitions

  • the present invention relates to polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibers and a method for manufacturing the same.
  • PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene
  • U.S. Patent No. 2,772,444 proposes a method for manufacturing a PTFE fiber by emulsion spinning of a mixed solution of an aqueous dispersion solution of PTFE fine particles and viscose, followed by sintering of the PTFE at high temperatures to remove the viscose by thermal decomposition.
  • the manufacturing cost of the PTFE by this method is high, whereas the strength of the fiber obtained is low, and therefore the strength of a product obtained by processing this fiber as a raw material also is low.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,953,566 and U.S. Patent No. 4,187,390 propose a method for manufacturing a high-strength PTFE fiber by slitting a PTFE film or sheet into a minute width, followed by stretching of the obtained tape.
  • this method has a difficulty in maintaining a width of the tape obtained by slitting uniformly along the lengthwise direction.
  • an end portion of the tape tends to be a fibril.
  • the fiber may break partially during the step of stretching the tape to a high degree.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,562,986 proposes a method for manufacturing cotton-like materials made of PTFE fibers having a branch structure by opening a uniaxially oriented article, specifically a uniaxially oriented film of a molded PTFE article by a mechanical force using a pin roll with a needle density of 20 to 100 needles/cm 2 .
  • the length of the obtained PTFE fibers mostly is not more than 150 mm, and it is difficult to obtain a PTFE filament.
  • WO96-00807 proposes a method for manufacturing cotton-like materials made of PTFE fibers having a branch structure by opening a uniaxially oriented film of a molded PTFE article with a mechanical force. According to this method, however, the density of the obtained PTFE fibers has a high specific gravity exceeding 2.15 g/cm 3 , thus making it difficult to obtain a light-weight final product.
  • a PTFE fiber in which single fibrils have a small average fineness and have uniform fineness and to provide a method for manufacturing the PTFE fiber. Furthermore, it is another object of the present invention to provide a PTFE fiber in which a fiber can be manufactured from the overall width of a film, that has a high production yield and whose branch structure is uniform and stable and to provide a method for manufacturing the PTFE fiber.
  • a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fiber of the present invention includes a filament obtained by partially slitting an oriented PTFE film in a lengthwise direction of the film. Emboss processing is conducted linearly along the lengthwise direction of the film and like a zigzag shape or a convexo-concave shape in a width direction of the film, followed by slitting, whereby the filament includes a network structure in which single fibrils that are opened partially are arranged regularly.
  • Another PTFE fiber of the present invention includes a short fiber including a branch structure that is obtained by cutting the above filament.
  • a method for manufacturing a PTFE fiber of the present invention in which an oriented PTFE film is slit in a lengthwise direction of the film so as to manufacture a filament, includes the steps of: conducting emboss processing of the oriented film, the emboss processing being applied linearly along the lengthwise direction of the film and applied like a zigzag shape or a convexo-concave shape in a width direction of the film; and then, feeding the film to a revolving pin roll with needles so as to slit the film partially in the lengthwise direction.
  • the filament obtained includes a network structure in which single fibrils are opened partially and are arranged regularly.
  • a fiber of the present invention is a slit fiber having a fibril structure, and when the fiber is extended in the width direction, the resultant forms a network structure in which single fibrils are opened partially. That is to say, a PTFE film is slit and is opened so that single fibrils form a network structure.
  • the network structure is as shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 as examples.
  • the figures represented with the scale on the left side of Fig. 1 or 2 are in the unit of centimeters.
  • the size and the shape of the network may vary according to the stretching magnification of the PTFE film subjected to the slitting and the shape of emboss given to the PTFE film. However, the overall shape of the network structure is uniform and stable.
  • a length of a single fibril constituting the network structure ranges from 3 mm to 50 mm, as one example, and preferably ranges from 5 mm to 30 mm.
  • a size of one single fibril ranges from 10 ⁇ m ⁇ 7 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m ⁇ 20 ⁇ m (long axis ⁇ short axis), as one example.
  • a single fibril means a fiber that cannot be split any more.
  • the single fibril is one fiber constituting a network structure.
  • the single fibril is a main chain or a branch of the fiber.

  • the flat shape mentioned herein refers to a ribbon-like shape being rectangular in cross section.
  • the average fineness of the single fibrils constituting the PTFE fiber of the present invention may be not more than 4.5 dtex, more preferably not more than 4 dtex. Since emboss processing has not been conducted conventionally, a single fibril exceeding 5 dtex only is obtained. Therefore, the present invention is advantageous over the prior art because it enables a finer fiber.
  • the distribution of fineness of single fibrils constituting the PTFE fiber of the present invention is a single-peak distribution with the peak at the center.
  • a PTFE fiber with an excellent uniformity of fineness can be provided.
  • the single-peak distribution with the peak at the center of the fineness means that, among a large number of measured samples, the number of samples with finenesses closer to the average fineness is the largest, and the number of samples decreases gradually with increasing deviation from the average fineness.
  • a PTFE oriented film obtained from PTFE fine powders as a raw material by an emulsion polymerization method is subjected to emboss processing, where the emboss processing is carried out continuously both in its lengthwise direction and its width direction.
  • This film is fed to a revolving pin roll so as to be opened mechanically.
  • the PTFE film can be manufactured by conventionally known methods. That is, a mixture of PTFE fine powders and a petroleum oil as an extrusion aid is subjected to a paste extrusion method, so that a continuously extruded article in a rod, bar or sheet shape is molded. Next, this extruded article is rolled into a film form using a calendering roll, and then extraction using a solvent or heat treatment is applied to the rolled film so as to remove the extrusion aid, whereby a PTFE original film is obtained.

  • the biaxially stretching may be conducted concurrently in the LD direction and the TD direction or may be conducted as two-stage stretching in which the stretching in the TD direction follows the stretching in the LD direction.
