Test examples
Moisture regain test
The spandex fibers obtained in examples 1-6 and comparative examples 1-2 were tested for moisture regain (moisture regain is the percentage of the difference in wet weight to dry weight of the sample to be tested versus the dry weight) using a vented oven. The testing method comprises the steps of weighing the spandex fiber under the environment of 20 ℃ and 65% of relative humidity to obtain the actual weight of the spandex fiber, placing the spandex fiber in an oven, testing the quality every 20min at 45 ℃, and recording the dry weight of the spandex fiber after the numerical value is stable. The spandex fibers obtained in each of the examples and comparative examples were weighed three times and the average value was calculated, and the moisture regain was calculated, and the results are shown in table 1.
Table 1 moisture regain of spandex fiber obtained in each of examples and comparative examples
Referring to the data in Table 1, the moisture regain of the spandex fiber prepared in examples 2-6 and comparative examples 1-2 was improved relative to example 1, and it was found that the addition of 2, 6-diaminopyridine and/or 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan to the chain extender mixed solution during the preparation of the spandex fiber significantly improved the moisture regain of the spandex fiber obtained. This is probably because the spandex fiber prepared by adding 2, 6-diaminopyridine and/or 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan has a coarser surface than that of example 1, and the presence of grooves, holes and other structures on the fiber surface helps to improve the binding with water molecules, thus exhibiting better moisture absorption performance.
Specifically, the moisture regain of the spandex fibers prepared in examples 2 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 2 was improved by 16.6%, 19.6%, 23.5%, 31.4%, 36.3%, 8.8% and 12.7%, respectively, relative to example 1.
The moisture regain of the spandex fiber obtained in examples 2 to 4 tended to increase, and it was found that the increase in the amount of 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan in the chain extender mixed solution for preparing the spandex fiber helped to increase the moisture regain of the obtained spandex fiber.
The moisture regain of the spandex fiber obtained in example 2 was higher than that of comparative example 1 and higher than that of comparative example 2, and it was found that the effect of the co-addition of both 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan on the moisture regain of the spandex fiber in the chain extender mixed solution for the preparation of spandex fiber was superior to that of the 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan added alone.
The moisture regain of the spandex fiber obtained in examples 5-6 was increased by 12.6% and 16.8%, respectively, relative to example 2. It was found that the moisture regain of the obtained spandex fiber could be further improved by continuing to add 3,3' -diaminobenzidine to the chain extender mixed solution to which 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan were added.
Tensile Property test
The spandex fibers obtained in examples 1 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 2 were subjected to a tensile breaking test at a temperature of 20℃and a relative humidity of 65%, the holding length of the fibers was 100mm, the pre-tension force was 0.4cN, the stretching rate was set to 500 mm/min, the test was performed 10 times for each example, and the elongation at break was shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2 elongation at break of spandex fibers obtained in examples and comparative examples
Referring to the data in Table 2, the elongation at break of the spandex fibers prepared in examples 2-6 and comparative examples 1-2 were all improved relative to example 1, and it was found that the addition of 2, 6-diaminopyridine and/or 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan to the chain extender mixed solution during the preparation of the spandex fibers significantly improved the elongation at break of the spandex fibers obtained. This is probably because the molecular crosslinking degree of the spandex fiber prepared by adding 2, 6-diaminopyridine and/or 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan is improved as compared with example 1, and the molecular weight of the soft segment part is improved in the molecular structure.
Specifically, the elongation at break of the spandex fibers prepared in examples 2 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 2 was improved by 45.8%, 48.9%, 53.2%, 68.8%, 74.3%, 36.2% and 38.2%, respectively, relative to example 1.
The elongation at break of the spandex fibers obtained in examples 2 to 4 tended to increase, and it was found that the increase in the amount of 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan in the chain extender mixed solution for preparing the spandex fibers contributed to the improvement of the elongation at break of the obtained spandex fibers.
The elongation at break of the spandex fiber obtained in example 2 is higher than that of comparative example 1 and higher than that of comparative example 2, and it can be seen that the effect of the co-addition of both 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan on the elongation at break of the spandex fiber in the chain extender mixed solution for the preparation of spandex fiber is superior to that of the 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan added alone.
The moisture regain of the spandex fiber obtained in examples 5-6 was increased by 12.6% and 16.8%, respectively, relative to example 2. It was found that the elongation at break of the obtained spandex fiber could be further improved by continuing to add 3,3' -diaminobenzidine to the chain extender mixed solution to which 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan were added. Therefore, the addition of 3,3' -diaminobenzidine can improve the tensile property of the obtained spandex fiber and is beneficial to improving the abrasion resistance of the obtained spandex fabric.
Preparation of core spun yarn
Adopting a twisting machine, setting a pre-drafting multiple of 3.80, coating twist of 600 t/m and a crimping rate of 20 m/min, taking the spandex fibers obtained in examples 1-6 and comparative examples 1-2 as core yarns, taking UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) continuous filaments as sheath yarns, and coating the 100D UHMWPE continuous filaments with 105D spandex filaments to twist and wrap the core yarns to obtain different core-spun yarns.
Elastic performance test of core spun yarn
The elastic recovery rate of the core spun yarn is tested by adopting a fixed load repeated stretching method with reference to FZ/T01034-2008 'method for testing stretching elasticity of textile woven fabrics'. The clamping length was set at 100 mm, the initial position at 50 mm, and the pretension (0.3.+ -. 0.003) cN. Stretching to 0.2N load at 500 mm/min, keeping 5 s, returning to the initial position at 50 mm at equal speed, keeping 5 s, and circulating for 3 times. The elastic recovery of the core yarns obtained in examples 1-6 and comparative examples 1-2 is shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3 elastic recovery of core spun yarns obtained in examples and comparative examples
Referring to the data in table 3, the elastic recovery of the core spun yarn prepared by examples 2 to 6 and comparative examples 1 to 2 was improved relative to example 1, and it was found that the addition of 2, 6-diaminopyridine and/or 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan to the chain extender mixed solution during the preparation of spandex fiber significantly improved the elastic recovery of the core spun yarn prepared by using the obtained spandex fiber. This is probably because the spandex fiber prepared by adding 2, 6-diaminopyridine and/or 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan has better tensile properties than example 1.
Specifically, the elastic recovery of the spandex fibers prepared in examples 2-6 and comparative examples 1-2 was improved by 6.8%, 7.2%, 7.9%, 8.7%, 9.0%, 3.9% and 4.9%, respectively, relative to example 1.
The elastic recovery of the spandex fibers obtained in examples 2-4 tended to increase, and it was seen that an increase in the amount of 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan in the chain extender mixed solution for the preparation of spandex fibers helped to increase the elastic recovery of the core-spun yarn prepared from the obtained spandex fibers.
The spandex fiber obtained in example 2 has higher elastic recovery than that in comparative example 1 and that in comparative example 2, and it can be seen that the effect of the combined addition of both 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan in the chain extender mixed solution for preparing spandex fiber on the elastic recovery of the core-spun yarn prepared from spandex fiber is better than that of the addition of 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan alone.
The moisture regain of the spandex fiber obtained in examples 5-6 was increased by 12.6% and 16.8%, respectively, relative to example 2. It was found that the elastic recovery of the core-spun yarn prepared from the obtained spandex fiber could be further improved by further adding 3,3' -diaminobenzidine to the chain extender mixed solution to which 2, 6-diaminopyridine and 2, 5-di (aminomethyl) furan were added.
