背景技术Background Art

近年来,塑料废弃物存在对于生态系统造成影响、燃烧时产生有害气体、大量的燃烧热量导致全球变暖等成为给地球环境带来很大负担的原因的问题。作为能够解决该问题的方式,正在积极地进行生物降解性塑料的开发。In recent years, plastic waste has become a major burden on the global environment, affecting the ecosystem, generating harmful gases when burned, and causing global warming due to the large amount of heat from burning. As a way to solve this problem, the development of biodegradable plastics is being actively pursued.

在这样的生物降解性塑料中,使用来自于植物的原料而得到的生物降解性塑料燃烧时放出的二氧化碳原本就存在于空气中,因此大气中的二氧化碳不会增加。这被称为碳中和,在设定了二氧化碳减排目标值的京都议定书的情况下受到重视,希望得到积极的使用。In such biodegradable plastics, carbon dioxide released when biodegradable plastics made from plant materials are burned already exists in the air, so carbon dioxide in the atmosphere does not increase. This is called carbon neutrality, and is valued under the Kyoto Protocol, which sets a target value for carbon dioxide emission reduction, and is expected to be used actively.

最近,从生物降解性及碳中和的观点考虑,作为以来自于植物的原料作为碳源由微生物产生的生物降解性塑料,脂肪族聚酯类树脂备受关注,特别是聚羟基烷酸酯类树脂备受关注。Recently, from the viewpoint of biodegradability and carbon neutrality, aliphatic polyester resins, and in particular polyhydroxyalkanoate resins, have attracted attention as biodegradable plastics produced by microorganisms using plant-derived raw materials as carbon sources.

Specifically, the presence or absence of biodegradability can be determined by tests that meet the respective environments such as ISO 14855 (compost) and ISO 14851 (activated sludge) under aerobic conditions and ISO 14853 (aqueous phase) and ISO 15985 (solid phase) under anaerobic conditions. In addition, the degradability of microorganisms in seawater can be evaluated by measuring biochemical oxygen demand.

上述聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂可以是均聚物,也可以是共聚物。The poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) resin may be a homopolymer or a copolymer.

上述聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂优选包含以下述式(1)表示的结构单元。The poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin preferably includes a structural unit represented by the following formula (1).

[-CHR-CH2-CO-O-](1)[-CHR-CH 2 -CO-O-](1)

(上述式(1)中,R表示以CpH2p+1所示的烷基,p表示1~15的整数。)(In the above formula (1), R represents an alkyl group represented by C p H 2p+1 , and p represents an integer of 1 to 15.)

上述聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂优选包含3-羟基丁酸酯作为结构单元。The poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin preferably contains 3-hydroxybutyrate as a structural unit.

作为包含3-羟基丁酸酯为结构单元的聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂,可以列举例如:P3HB、P3HB3HH、P3HB3HV、P3HB4HB、聚(3-羟基丁酸酯-共聚-3-羟基辛酸酯)、聚(3-羟基丁酸酯-共聚-3-羟基十八烷酸酯)等。Examples of the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) resin containing 3-hydroxybutyrate as a structural unit include P3HB, P3HB3HH, P3HB3HV, P3HB4HB, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyoctanoate), and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyoctadecanoate).

这里,P3HB是指聚(3-羟基丁酸酯)。Here, P3HB refers to poly (3-hydroxybutyrate).

需要说明的是,P3HB具有促进P3HB本身及除P3HB以外的聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂的结晶化的功能,因此,上述聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂优选包含P3HB。It should be noted that P3HB has a function of promoting the crystallization of P3HB itself and a poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin other than P3HB. Therefore, the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin preferably contains P3HB.

作为上述聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂,从兼顾优异的生物降解性和成型加工性的观点考虑,优选为P3HB、P3HB3HH、P3HB3HV、P3HB4HB等,没有特别限定。As the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin, from the viewpoint of achieving both excellent biodegradability and molding processability, P3HB, P3HB3HH, P3HB3HV, P3HB4HB and the like are preferred, but are not particularly limited.

另外,通过使上述聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂包含99.5摩尔%以下的作为结构单元的3-羟基丁酸酯,本实施方式的复丝的柔软性优异。Furthermore, since the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin contains 99.5 mol % or less of 3-hydroxybutyrate as a structural unit, the multifilament yarn of the present embodiment has excellent softness.

上述聚合物成分可以仅包含1种上述聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂,也可以包含2种以上。The polymer component may contain only one type of the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin, or may contain two or more types.

上述聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂在包含共聚物(P3HB3HH等)的情况下,可以包含结构单元的平均组成比不同的2种以上的共聚物。When the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin includes a copolymer (P3HB3HH or the like), the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin may include two or more copolymers having different average composition ratios of structural units.

上述聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂是重均分子量优选为50000~3000000、更优选为100000~1500000。The poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) resin preferably has a weight average molecular weight of 50,000 to 3,000,000, and more preferably 100,000 to 1,500,000.

As a result, the original yarn 100A can be suppressed from becoming hard. Therefore, it is easy to perform the stretching of the original yarn 100A in the above step (C). As a result, the strength of the multifilament can be easily improved.

在第1实施方式中,在第1冷却箱105内利用3~15℃的气体将上述原丝100A进行冷却,在第2冷却箱106内利用3~15℃的气体将在该第1冷却箱105内被冷却后的原丝100A进行冷却。In the first embodiment, the yarn 100A is cooled in the first cooling box 105 using gas at 3 to 15° C., and the yarn 100A cooled in the first cooling box 105 is cooled in the second cooling box 106 using gas at 3 to 15° C.

向上述工序(A)中得到的熔融状态的多根上述原丝100A喷吹的气体的温度为3~15℃、优选为3.0~6.0℃。The temperature of the gas blown toward the plurality of molten raw fibers 100A obtained in the step (A) is 3 to 15°C, preferably 3.0 to 6.0°C.

需要说明的是,“向上述工序(A)中得到的熔融状态的多根上述原丝100A喷吹的气体的温度”是指上述气体接触上述原丝100A时的上述气体的温度。It should be noted that “the temperature of the gas blown toward the plurality of molten yarns 100A obtained in the step (A)” refers to the temperature of the gas when the gas contacts the molten yarns 100A.

向上述工序(A)中得到的熔融状态的多根上述原丝100A喷吹的气体的速度没有特别限定,优选为0.1m/s以上且5m/s以下、更优选为0.1m/s以上且3m/s以下。The speed of the gas blown toward the plurality of molten raw fibers 100A obtained in the step (A) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 m/s to 5 m/s, and more preferably 0.1 m/s to 3 m/s.

通过使上述气体的速度为0.1m/s以上,易于发挥气体的冷却效果。By setting the velocity of the gas to be 0.1 m/s or more, the cooling effect of the gas can be easily exerted.

通过使上述气体的速度为5m/s以下,能够抑制从纺丝喷嘴104喷出的熔融状态的原丝100A因气体而摆动。其结果是,可以抑制熔融状态的原丝100A彼此发生熔粘和/或断丝等,即,纺丝稳定性提高。By setting the gas velocity to 5 m/s or less, the molten yarn 100A ejected from the spinning nozzle 104 can be prevented from oscillating due to the gas. As a result, the molten yarns 100A can be prevented from fusing and/or breaking, that is, the spinning stability can be improved.

需要说明的是,“向上述工序(A)中得到的熔融状态的多根上述原丝100A喷吹的气体的速度”是指上述气体接触上述原丝100A时的上述气体的速度。It should be noted that “the speed of the gas blown toward the plurality of the molten yarns 100A obtained in the step (A)” refers to the speed of the gas when the gas contacts the filaments 100A.

作为上述气体,可以列举空气、非活性气体(氮气、氩气等)等。Examples of the gas include air, inert gas (nitrogen, argon, etc.), and the like.

在上述工序(B)中,利用第1牵引辊部107对用3~15℃的气体冷却后的原丝100A进行牵引。上述第1牵引辊部107由2个辊构成。需要说明的是,第1牵引辊部107可以由1个辊构成,也可以由3个以上的辊构成。In the step (B), the original yarn 100A cooled by the gas at 3 to 15° C. is pulled by the first pulling roller unit 107. The first pulling roller unit 107 is composed of two rollers. The first pulling roller unit 107 may be composed of one roller or three or more rollers.

而且,在上述工序(B)中,利用原丝用卷取辊部112卷取通过上述第1牵引辊部107进行了牵引的多根原丝100A。Then, in the step (B), the plurality of yarns 100A pulled by the first pulling roller unit 107 are pulled by the yarn pulling roller unit 112 .

虽然在图1中各运送辊部由2个辊构成,但也可以由1个辊构成,还可以由3个以上的辊构成。Although each transport roller portion is composed of two rollers in FIG. 1 , it may be composed of one roller, or may be composed of three or more rollers.

在上述工序(B)中,将多根上述原丝100A优选冷却至50℃以下、更优选冷却至40℃以下。在上述工序(B)中,将多根上述原丝100A冷却至例如0℃以上,更具体而言,冷却至10℃以上。In the step (B), the plurality of yarns 100A are cooled preferably to 50° C. or lower, more preferably to 40° C. or lower. In the step (B), the plurality of yarns 100A are cooled to, for example, 0° C. or higher, more specifically, 10° C. or higher.

在上述工序(B)中,可以通过3~15℃的气体的喷吹将多根上述原丝冷却至50℃以下。另外,在上述工序(B)中,可以通过3~15℃的气体的喷吹将多根上述原丝100A冷却至一定程度,然后,在将原丝100A从上述第1牵引辊部107运送至上述原丝用卷取辊部112的期间利用周围的空气使其冷却,将多根上述原丝冷却至50℃以下。In the above step (B), the plurality of the above-mentioned raw yarns can be cooled to below 50°C by blowing a gas at 3 to 15°C. In addition, in the above step (B), the plurality of the above-mentioned raw yarns 100A can be cooled to a certain extent by blowing a gas at 3 to 15°C, and then, the raw yarns 100A are cooled by the surrounding air while being transported from the above-mentioned first pulling roller section 107 to the above-mentioned raw yarn winding roller section 112, and the plurality of the above-mentioned raw yarns are cooled to below 50°C.

为了在上述工序(C)中对原丝100A进行拉伸,优选在上述工序(B)中不进行原丝100A的拉伸、或者基本上不进行原丝100A的拉伸。In order to stretch the original yarn 100A in the step (C), it is preferred that the original yarn 100A is not stretched or substantially not stretched in the step (B).

即,上述工序(B)中的拉伸倍率优选为1.5倍以下、更优选为1.2倍以下、进一步优选为1.1倍以下、最优选为1.0倍。需要说明的是,上述工序(B)中的拉伸倍率设为1.0倍以上。That is, the stretching ratio in the step (B) is preferably 1.5 times or less, more preferably 1.2 times or less, further preferably 1.1 times or less, and most preferably 1.0 times. It should be noted that the stretching ratio in the step (B) is set to 1.0 times or more.

上述工序(B)中的拉伸倍率可以通过下述式而求出。The stretching ratio in the step (B) can be calculated by the following formula.

上述工序(B)中的拉伸倍率=原丝用卷取辊部的速度(m/min)/上述工序(B)中使用的牵引辊部(在第1实施方式中为“第1牵引辊部107”)的速度(m/min)Stretching ratio in the above step (B) = speed of the yarn winding roller unit (m/min) / speed of the pulling roller unit (in the first embodiment, the "first pulling roller unit 107") used in the above step (B) (m/min)

需要说明的是,原丝用卷取辊部的速度(m/min)为被卷取至原丝用卷取辊部的原丝的每单位时间的长度。In addition, the speed (m/min) of the raw yarn winding roller part is the length of the raw yarn wound by the raw yarn winding roller part per unit time.

另外,上述工序(B)中使用的牵引辊部的速度(m/min)为被上述工序(B)中使用的牵引辊部(在第1实施方式中为“第1牵引辊部107”)牵引的原丝的每单位时间的长度。The speed (m/min) of the pulling roller used in the step (B) is the length per unit time of the raw yarn pulled by the pulling roller used in the step (B) (the "first pulling roller 107" in the first embodiment).

在第1实施方式中,上述工序(B)中的拉伸倍率的计算值小于1.0倍时,拉伸倍率设为1.0倍。In the first embodiment, when the calculated value of the stretching ratio in the step (B) is less than 1.0 times, the stretching ratio is set to 1.0 times.

(工序(C))(Process (C))

如图2所示,在上述工序(C)中,将上述工序(B)中被冷却至50℃以下的多根上述原丝100A进行加热,利用上述拉伸辊部114进行拉伸。As shown in FIG. 2 , in the step (C), the plurality of original yarns 100A cooled to 50° C. or less in the step (B) are heated and stretched by the stretching roller unit 114 .

在上述工序(C)中,通过使多根上述原丝100A拉伸,可以提高原丝中包含的聚合物成分的取向性,由此,能够提高原丝的拉伸强度。其结果是,能够提高复丝的强度。In the step (C), by stretching the plurality of raw yarns 100A, the orientation of the polymer components contained in the raw yarns can be improved, thereby increasing the tensile strength of the raw yarns. As a result, the strength of the multifilament yarn can be increased.

这里,为了提高聚合物成分的取向性,优选以适合提高聚合物成分的取向性的温度范围进行拉伸。这是由于,在以高于该温度范围的温度将原丝进行拉伸时,聚合物成分处于熔融状态,其结果是,即使进行拉伸,聚合物成分的取向性也基本上不会提高。另外,这是由于,在以低于该温度范围的温度将原丝进行拉伸时,聚合物成分过度凝固,原丝变得难以拉伸,而且,即使在想要拉伸原丝而将原丝强行进行拉伸时,原丝会断裂而无法制造复丝。Here, in order to improve the orientation of the polymer component, it is preferred to stretch it in a temperature range suitable for improving the orientation of the polymer component. This is because when the precursor is stretched at a temperature higher than this temperature range, the polymer component is in a molten state, and as a result, even if it is stretched, the orientation of the polymer component is basically not improved. In addition, this is because when the precursor is stretched at a temperature lower than this temperature range, the polymer component is excessively coagulated, and the precursor becomes difficult to stretch, and even if the precursor is forcibly stretched when it is desired to stretch the precursor, the precursor will break and it is impossible to produce a multifilament.

在第1实施方式中,通过将上述工序(B)中被冷却至50℃以下的多根上述原丝100A加热并利用上述拉伸辊部114进行拉伸,与利用周围的空气将多根原丝冷却并拉伸的旋转抽伸法相比,在将多根原丝进行拉伸时,容易调整多根原丝的温度,以使其达到适合提高聚合物成分的取向性的温度范围内,其结果是,易于提高多根原丝的聚合物成分的取向性。In the first embodiment, the plurality of the above-mentioned original yarns 100A cooled to below 50° C. in the above-mentioned step (B) are heated and stretched using the above-mentioned stretching roller section 114. Compared with the rotary drawing method in which the plurality of original yarns are cooled and stretched using the surrounding air, it is easy to adjust the temperature of the plurality of original yarns when stretching the plurality of original yarns so that they reach a temperature range suitable for improving the orientation of the polymer component. As a result, it is easy to improve the orientation of the polymer component of the plurality of original yarns.

因此,在第1实施方式中,易于提高复丝的强度。Therefore, in the first embodiment, it is easy to increase the strength of the multifilament.

上述工序(C)中使用的原丝的纤度优选为5.0~15.0dtex、更优选为6.0~10dtex。The fineness of the raw yarn used in the step (C) is preferably 5.0 to 15.0 dtex, more preferably 6.0 to 10 dtex.

需要说明的是,对于上述工序(C)中使用的原丝的纤度,以下的关系式大致成立。In addition, with respect to the fineness of the raw yarn used in the above step (C), the following relationship is substantially established.

上述工序(C)中使用的原丝的纤度(dtex)=(((a×1000/60)/b×10000)/c)/dThe fineness (dtex) of the raw yarn used in the above step (C) = (((a×1000/60)/b×10000)/c)/d

a:从上述纺丝喷嘴104喷出的上述熔融物的量(kg/h)a: The amount of the melt ejected from the spinning nozzle 104 (kg/h)

b:上述工序(B)中使用的牵引辊部(在第1实施方式中为“第1牵引辊部107”)的速度(m/min)b: Speed (m/min) of the pulling roller unit (“first pulling roller unit 107” in the first embodiment) used in the step (B)

c:上述纺丝喷嘴104所具有的喷丝孔的数量(个)c: The number of spinneret holes of the spinning nozzle 104 (pieces)

d:上述工序(B)中的拉伸倍率(-)d: stretching ratio in the above step (B) (-)

因此,通过调整上述b等,可以调整上述工序(C)中使用的原丝的纤度。Therefore, by adjusting the above-mentioned b and the like, the fineness of the raw yarn used in the above-mentioned step (C) can be adjusted.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned take-out roller 115 (heat treatment roller part 115) may be composed of one roller, or may be composed of three or more rollers.

即,在上述工序(C)中,通过利用热处理辊部115对经拉伸后的多根上述原丝100A进行加热,得到上述复丝。That is, in the step (C), the plurality of drawn original yarns 100A are heated by the heat treatment roll unit 115 to obtain the multifilament yarn.

上述工序(C)中的拉伸倍率可以通过下述式求出。The stretching ratio in the step (C) can be calculated by the following formula.

上述工序(C)中的拉伸倍率=复丝用卷取辊部的速度(m/min)/上述工序(C)中使用的牵引辊部(在第1实施方式中为“第2牵引辊部113”)的速度(m/min)Stretching ratio in the above step (C) = speed of the multifilament winding roller unit (m/min) / speed of the pulling roller unit (in the first embodiment, the "second pulling roller unit 113") used in the above step (C) (m/min)

In the first embodiment, the raw yarn 100A that has been pulled by the above-mentioned first pulling roller portion 107 can be accommodated in a containing container instead of being wound up by the raw yarn winding roller portion 112.

在不利用原丝用卷取辊部112卷取在上述第1牵引辊部107经过牵引的原丝100A而使用运送辊部运送至容纳容器的情况下,上述工序(B)中的拉伸倍率可以通过下述式而求出。When the yarn 100A pulled by the first pulling roller unit 107 is not wound by the yarn winding roller unit 112 but conveyed to the storage container by the conveying roller unit, the stretching ratio in the step (B) can be calculated by the following formula.

拉伸倍率=运送辊部的速度(m/min)/第1牵引辊部的速度(m/min)Stretching ratio = speed of the conveying roller (m/min) / speed of the first pulling roller (m/min)

运送辊部的速度(m/min)为运送辊部所运送的原丝的每单位时间的长度。The speed (m/min) of the transport roller portion is the length per unit time of the raw yarn transported by the transport roller portion.

在使用多个运送辊部的情况下,将最快的运送辊部的速度用于拉伸倍率的式子。When a plurality of transport rollers are used, the speed of the fastest transport roller is used in the formula of the stretching ratio.

从促进多根原丝100A中包含的聚合物成分的结晶化的观点考虑,上述热处理辊部的温度优选为25~100℃、更优选为40~90℃。From the viewpoint of promoting crystallization of the polymer component contained in the plurality of original yarns 100A, the temperature of the heat treatment roll section is preferably 25 to 100°C, more preferably 40 to 90°C.

需要说明的是,在实施工序(C)的环境的温度为25℃以上的情况下,即使不使用热处理辊,也能够促进多根原丝100A中包含的聚合物成分的结晶化。In addition, when the temperature of the environment in which the step (C) is performed is 25° C. or higher, the crystallization of the polymer component contained in the plurality of original yarns 100A can be promoted even without using a heat treatment roll.

在本实施方式的复丝的制造方法中,纺丝牵伸比数值(NDR)优选为150以上、更优选为200以上。另外,NDR通常为1000以下。In the method for producing a multifilament yarn of the present embodiment, the spinning draft ratio (NDR) is preferably 150 or more, more preferably 200 or more. In addition, the NDR is usually 1000 or less.

NDR可以通过下述式而求出。NDR can be calculated by the following formula.

NDR=最初从纺丝喷嘴牵引原丝的牵引辊部(最初的牵引辊部)的速度(m/min)/纺丝喷嘴流速(m/min)NDR = speed of the pulling roller part (initial pulling roller part) that pulls the raw yarn from the spinning nozzle for the first time (m/min) / spinning nozzle flow rate (m/min)

通过使NDR为150以上,可以从纺丝喷嘴至最初的牵引辊部之间进行原丝的拉伸,其结果是能够提高复丝的强度。By setting the NDR to 150 or more, the raw yarn can be stretched from the spinning nozzle to the first drawing roll portion, and as a result, the strength of the multifilament can be increased.

需要说明的是,在第1实施方式(后拉伸法)中,最初的牵引辊部为第1牵引辊部107。In addition, in the first embodiment (post-stretching method), the first pulling roller unit is the first pulling roller unit 107 .

另一方面,在第2实施方式(旋转抽伸法)中,最初的牵引辊部为牵引辊部207。On the other hand, in the second embodiment (rotational drawing method), the first pulling roller section is the pulling roller section 207 .

<短纤维的制造方法><Method for producing short fibers>

对于本实施方式的短纤维的制造方法而言,通过本实施方式的复丝的制造方法得到上述复丝,并将该复丝切断,从而得到短纤维。In the method for producing short fibers according to the present embodiment, the multifilament yarn described above is obtained by the method for producing a multifilament yarn according to the present embodiment, and the multifilament yarn is cut to obtain short fibers.

该短纤维具有卷曲结构。The short fibers have a crimped structure.

上述短纤维的长度的平均值为200mm以下、优选为160mm以下,更具体而言为1.0~100mm。The average length of the short fibers is 200 mm or less, preferably 160 mm or less, and more specifically, 1.0 to 100 mm.

本实施方式的短纤维的制造方法通过对复丝进行卷缩加工,并将经过该卷缩加工的复丝切断,从而能够得到具有卷曲结构的短纤维。The method for producing staple fibers according to the present embodiment can obtain staple fibers having a crimped structure by crimping a multifilament and cutting the crimped multifilament.

本实施方式的复丝及其制造方法、以及短纤维及其制造方法如上所述构成,因此具有以下的优点。The multifilament yarn and the method for producing the same, and the staple fiber and the method for producing the same according to the present embodiment are configured as described above, and therefore have the following advantages.

即,本实施方式的复丝具备多根单丝。上述单丝含有聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂及聚己内酯。上述单丝的纤度为1.0~5.0dtex。上述单丝的拉伸强度为2.5cN/dtex以上。That is, the multifilament of the present embodiment includes a plurality of monofilaments. The monofilaments contain a poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin and polycaprolactone. The monofilaments have a fineness of 1.0 to 5.0 dtex. The monofilaments have a tensile strength of 2.5 cN/dtex or more.

本实施方式的复丝通过这样的构成而成为强度高的复丝。The multifilament yarn of the present embodiment has a high strength due to such a configuration.

需要说明的是,从今后适用于多种用途的可能性的观点考虑,会要求强度高、单丝细、并进一步具有良好的生物降解性的复丝。In addition, from the viewpoint of the possibility of application to various uses in the future, multifilaments having high strength, thin single filaments, and good biodegradability are required.

这里,聚己内酯与聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂同样地具有生物降解性。Here, polycaprolactone is biodegradable like the poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin.

另外,通过将单丝的纤度设为5.0dtex以下,使单丝变细。Furthermore, by setting the fineness of the single yarn to 5.0 dtex or less, the single yarn is made thinner.

因此,根据本实施方式,可以提供强度高、单丝细、并进一步具有良好的生物降解性的复丝。Therefore, according to the present embodiment, a multifilament having high strength, thin single yarns, and excellent biodegradability can be provided.

本实施方式的复丝的制造方法是使用具有多个喷丝孔的纺丝喷嘴来制造具备多个单丝的复丝的方法。The method for producing a multifilament according to the present embodiment is a method for producing a multifilament including a plurality of single filaments using a spinning nozzle having a plurality of spinning holes.

另外,本实施方式的复丝的制造方法具备:工序(A),通过将熔融物从多个上述喷丝孔喷出,得到多根熔融状态的原丝;工序(B),通过向熔融状态的多根上述原丝喷吹3~15℃的气体,将多根上述原丝冷却;工序(C),通过利用拉伸辊部将冷却后的多根上述原丝进行拉伸,得到上述复丝。In addition, the method for producing a multifilament yarn of the present embodiment comprises: a step (A) of obtaining a plurality of molten yarns by ejecting a melt from the plurality of spinneret holes; a step (B) of cooling the plurality of molten yarns by blowing a gas at 3 to 15° C. onto the plurality of molten yarns; and a step (C) of obtaining the multifilament yarn by stretching the cooled plurality of molten yarns using a stretching roller section.

上述熔融物含有聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂及聚己内酯。上述单丝的纤度为1.0~5.0dtex。The melt contains a poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) resin and polycaprolactone. The monofilament has a fineness of 1.0 to 5.0 dtex.

在上述工序(B)中,通过利用3~15℃的气体将上述原丝冷却,能够缩短达到构成原丝的聚己内酯及聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂发生结晶化的温度范围内的时间,可以抑制聚己内酯及聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂的结晶化的进行。由此,能够抑制原丝变硬。因此,容易将上述工序(C)中的原丝充分拉伸。其结果是易于提高复丝的强度。In the above step (B), by cooling the above-mentioned precursor with gas at 3 to 15°C, the time to reach the temperature range where the polycaprolactone and poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) resin constituting the precursor crystallizes can be shortened, and the crystallization of the polycaprolactone and poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) resin can be suppressed. Thus, the precursor can be suppressed from becoming hard. Therefore, it is easy to fully stretch the precursor in the above step (C). As a result, the strength of the multifilament can be easily improved.

另外,本实施方式的复丝的制造方法通过在上述工序(C)中利用热处理辊部将被拉伸的多根上述原丝进行加热而得到上述复丝。In addition, the method for producing a multifilament yarn of the present embodiment obtains the multifilament yarn by heating the plurality of drawn raw yarns by a heat treatment roll section in the step (C).

本实施方式的复丝的制造方法通过具有这样的构成,能够提高复丝的结晶度,其结果是能够提高复丝的强度。The method for producing a multifilament according to the present embodiment can improve the crystallinity of the multifilament by having such a configuration, and as a result, can improve the strength of the multifilament.

此外,本实施方式的复丝的制造方法通过上述工序(B)将多根上述原丝冷却至50℃以下,通过上述工序(C)将上述工序(B)中被冷却至50℃以下的多根上述原丝加热并利用上述拉伸辊部进行拉伸。In the method for producing a multifilament yarn of the present embodiment, the plurality of raw yarns are cooled to 50° C. or less in the step (B), and the plurality of raw yarns cooled to 50° C. or less in the step (B) are heated and stretched by the stretching roller unit in the step (C).

这里,为了提高聚合物成分的取向性,通常希望以适合提高聚合物成分的取向性的温度范围进行拉伸。这是由于,在以高于该温度范围的温度拉伸原丝时,聚合物成分处于熔融状态,其结果是,即使拉伸,聚合物成分的取向性也基本上不会提高。另外,这是由于,在以低于该温度范围的温度将原丝进行拉伸时,聚合物成分过度凝固,原丝变得难以拉伸,而且,即使在想要拉伸原丝而将原丝强行进行拉伸时,原丝会断裂而无法制造复丝。Here, in order to improve the orientation of the polymer component, it is usually desired to stretch it in a temperature range suitable for improving the orientation of the polymer component. This is because when the precursor is stretched at a temperature higher than this temperature range, the polymer component is in a molten state, and as a result, even if it is stretched, the orientation of the polymer component is basically not improved. In addition, this is because when the precursor is stretched at a temperature lower than this temperature range, the polymer component is excessively solidified, and the precursor becomes difficult to stretch, and even if the precursor is forcibly stretched when it is desired to stretch the precursor, the precursor will break and it is impossible to produce a multifilament.

在本实施方式中,通过将上述工序(B)中被冷却至50℃以下的多根上述原丝加热并利用上述拉伸辊部进行拉伸,与利用周围的空气将多根原丝冷却并拉伸的旋转抽伸法相比,在将多根原丝进行拉伸时,容易调整多根原丝的温度,以使其达到适合提高聚合物成分的取向性的温度范围内,其结果是,易于提高多根原丝的聚合物成分的取向性。In the present embodiment, the plurality of the above-mentioned original yarns that have been cooled to below 50° C. in the above-mentioned step (B) are heated and stretched using the above-mentioned stretching roller section. Compared with the rotary stretching method in which the plurality of original yarns are cooled and stretched using the surrounding air, it is easy to adjust the temperature of the plurality of original yarns when stretching the plurality of original yarns so that they reach a temperature range suitable for improving the orientation of the polymer components. As a result, it is easy to improve the orientation of the polymer components of the plurality of original yarns.

因此,在本实施方式中,易于提高复丝的强度。Therefore, in this embodiment, it is easy to increase the strength of the multifilament.

需要说明的是,本发明的复丝及其制造方法、以及短纤维及其制造方法并不限定于上述实施方式。另外,本发明的复丝及其制造方法、以及短纤维及其制造方法并不受上述的作用效果的限定。此外,本发明的复丝及其制造方法、以及短纤维及其制造方法可以在不脱离本发明主旨的范围进行各种变更。It should be noted that the multifilament yarn and the method for producing the same, and the staple fiber and the method for producing the same of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. In addition, the multifilament yarn and the method for producing the same, and the staple fiber and the method for producing the same of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned effects. In addition, the multifilament yarn and the method for producing the same, and the staple fiber and the method for producing the same of the present invention can be variously modified within the scope of the present invention.

如表1所示,与未使用聚己内酯的比较例1、2相比,在本发明的范围内的实施例1~8中,单丝的拉伸强度高。As shown in Table 1, in Examples 1 to 8 within the scope of the present invention, the tensile strength of the monofilament was higher than that of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 in which polycaprolactone was not used.

因此可知,即,根据本发明,能够得到强度高的复丝。Therefore, it is understood that, according to the present invention, a multifilament having high strength can be obtained.

另外,如表1所示,与基质包含聚己内酯的实施例7、8相比,在基质包含聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂的实施例1~6中,达到给定的热收缩率的温度高。Furthermore, as shown in Table 1, in Examples 1 to 6 in which the matrix contained a poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin, the temperature at which a given heat shrinkage ratio was reached was higher than in Examples 7 and 8 in which the matrix contained polycaprolactone.

因此可知,基质包含聚(3-羟基烷酸酯)类树脂的复丝的耐热性优异。Therefore, it is understood that the multifilament whose matrix includes a poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate)-based resin has excellent heat resistance.

(比较例3)(Comparative Example 3)

将淬火空气的温度设为25℃,除此以外,与实施例1同样地尝试了复丝的制作,结果是,在纺丝喷嘴104与第1牵引辊107之间原丝发生断裂,无法制作复丝。The production of multifilament yarn was attempted in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the temperature of the quenching air was set to 25° C. However, the raw yarn was broken between the spinning nozzle 104 and the first pulling roller 107 , and the multifilament yarn could not be produced.

(比较例4)(Comparative Example 4)

将淬火空气的温度设为25℃,除此以外,与实施例3同样地尝试了复丝的制作,结果是,在纺丝喷嘴104与第1牵引辊107之间原丝发生断裂,无法制作复丝。The production of multifilament yarn was attempted in the same manner as in Example 3 except that the temperature of the quenching air was set to 25° C. However, the original yarn was broken between the spinning nozzle 104 and the first pulling roller 107 , and the multifilament yarn could not be produced.

(比较例5)(Comparative Example 5)

将淬火空气的温度设为25℃,除此以外,与实施例7同样地尝试了复丝的制作,结果是,在纺丝喷嘴104与第1牵引辊107之间原丝发生断裂,无法制作复丝。The production of multifilament yarn was attempted in the same manner as in Example 7 except that the temperature of the quenching air was set to 25° C. However, the original yarn was broken between the spinning nozzle 104 and the first pulling roller 107, and the multifilament yarn could not be produced.

根据以上结果,在将淬火空气的温度设为25℃的比较例3~5中,在纺丝喷嘴104与第1牵引辊107之间原丝发生断裂,无法制造复丝。From the above results, in Comparative Examples 3 to 5 in which the temperature of the quenching air was set to 25° C., the raw yarn was broken between the spinning nozzle 104 and the first pulling roller 107, and the multifilament yarn could not be produced.

比较例3~5中,降低NDR,则存在能够制造复丝的可能性,但如若这样的话,在对单丝的拉伸受到抑制的状态下,聚合物成分的结晶化会在一定程度上进行。In Comparative Examples 3 to 5, there is a possibility that multifilaments can be produced by reducing the NDR. However, in this case, the crystallization of the polymer component proceeds to a certain extent while the stretching of the single filament is suppressed.

另一方面,在本发明的范围内的实施例1~8中,通过进行对熔融状态的多根原丝喷吹3~15℃的气体的工序(B),能够在聚合物成分的结晶化进行前进行一定程度的拉伸。可以认为其结果是能够得到强度高的复丝。On the other hand, in Examples 1 to 8 within the scope of the present invention, by performing step (B) of blowing a gas at 3 to 15°C to the molten plurality of raw yarns, it is possible to perform some degree of stretching before the crystallization of the polymer component proceeds. As a result, it is considered that a multifilament with high strength can be obtained.

即可知,根据本发明,能够得到强度高的复丝。That is, it is understood that according to the present invention, a multifilament having high strength can be obtained.
