Effect of Polyvinylpyrrolidone on the Morphologies of Latex Films and Air Permeability of the Latex Finished Fabrics

Low air permeability is a common problem happening to the coating finished and pigment dyed fabrics.To tackle the problem,styrene and butyl acrylate copolymer latex was prepared and used as substitute for the binder.Then,polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)was fed into the latex.It was expected that pores could form in the resulting latex film after being rinsed.The morphologies of the latex films were analysized by scanning electric microscope(SEM).It was found that the continuity of the latex films decreased greatly because of the addition of PVP,leading to the loss of the stress at break of the films.After rinsing with methanol aqueous solution,PVP was easily leached off and(macro)void was formed in the latex films.The size of the void decreased with the increase of the PVP concentration.Then,the latex with and without PVP was used to finish the cotton fabrics and engaged as binder in pigment dyeing.After PVP was rinsed out,the air permeability of the fabrics improved greatly,which recovered to that of the unfinished one.In the meantime,the color fastness to rubbing was little affected.So,the method of PVP addition could be termed as an efficient way to improve the air permeability in coating and dyeing industry.

Preparation of Latex Film with Macropores and Their Applications in Pigment Dyeing

Aiming at improving the permeability of the pigment dyed fabrics,two kinds of hydrophilic polymers(polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP),and polyethylene glycol(PEG)were fed into the styrene-butyl acrylate(St-BuA)copolymer latex binder respectively to prepare films with macropores.The effects of the post-added polymers on the latex film formation process and film structures were studied and the performance of the dyed fabrics was evaluated.It was found that the drying process could still be divided into three stages even after the addition of PVP and PEG.And the water evaporation rate during the first and last stage remained the same as usual.However,after the addition of PVP,the onset of the second stage was delayed to high volume fraction,and PVP formed into spherical dispersion phase with 300 nm in diameter.It provided a great deal of interface between the latex polymer and the PVP phase,which led to an increase in the water evaporation rate during the second stage.A different case was found after the feeding of PEG.Firstly,the first stage ended at low volume fraction and a decreased evaporation rate was observed in the second stage.Secondly,the PEG dispersion appeared as finger-like structure in the transmission electron microscopy(TEM)images with 9μm in length.After rinsing,pores were found only in the films formerly containing PVP or PEG,and the shapes and the sizes were closely correlated with the initial morphologies of the PVP or PEG domains.However,the shade of color,the abrasion fastness,and the permeability of the dyed fabric were independent of the type of the post-added hydrophilic polymer.

Study of bulk morphology of polymer latex films using laser confocal fluorescence microscopy

Unlabeled poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PSt) latex particles as well as covalently fluorescent dye labeled PMMA latex particles (FPMMA) were prepared by emulsifier free emulsion polymerization and dispersion polymerization, respectively. The surface and bulk morphology of the polymer latex mixture (FPMMA/PMMA or FPMMA/PSt, weight ratio: 1/99) filmed by evaporation at room temperature was studied by laser confocal fluorescence microscopy (LCFM). It was concluded from the LCFM images that labeled PMMA domains obviously coagulated in PSt matrix not only on the surface but also in the inner layers of the latex film. Furthermore, PMMA was richer in the middle layers but poorer on the surface layer or the layers near to the substrate for the polymer latex films.

EFFECT OF PARTICLE SIZE ON THE FILMING PROCESS OF POLYSTYRENE LATEX STUDIED BY AFM

The film formation process of micro-PS particles (diameter 742 nm) and nano-PS particles (diameter 29 nm) was studied by atomic force microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. During a step heating process, the particles were annealed for 0.5 h at each selected temperature. It was found that the deformation and interdiffusion temperatures of the micro-PS particles are ca. 120-130degreesC and 140-150degreesC, that of the nano-PS particles are 90degreesC and 100-110degreesC respectively. The DSC traces of nano-PS particles showed that there was an exothermic peak near T-g after annealing for 0.5 h at the selected temperatures below 90degreesC; otherwise, the exothermic peak disappeared after annealing at 100degreesC or above. Compared with the micro-PS particles, the sintering process of nano-PS particles occurs at much lower temperature determined by the confined state of polymer chains with higher conformational energy in nano-particles, and completes in a much narrower temperature range driven mainly by the larger total surface energy.

B4C/NRL flexible films for thermal neutron shielding

Boron carbide/natural rubber latex(B_4 C/NRL)flexible films were prepared via dip-molding with B_4 C content in the range of 5–55 wt% for thermal neutron(0.0253 e V) shielding. B_4 C was well dispersed in NRL according to microscopic observation. Both the inside and outside surfaces of the film were smooth. For B_4 C/NRL flexible films, the minimum elongation at break was greater than 600%, the minimum tensile strength was greater than 12 MPa, and the hardness was in the range of 35–55 HA,which were suitable for preparing flexible wearable products. The attenuation efficiencies of the B_4 C/NRL flexible films for thermal neutrons were also calculated. The B_4 C/NRL flexible films exhibit good attenuation effect for thermal neutrons.

Preparation and characterization of Bi2O3/XNBR flexible films for attenuating gamma rays

A bismuth oxide(Bi_2O_3)-dispersed carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber(XNBR) flexible film was prepared as a flexible lead-free material for gamma ray(c-ray)attenuation.However,obtaining a uniform and stable dispersion of Bi_2O_3 in carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber latex(XNBRL) is a challenge due to sedimentation induced by the remarkable density differences.Here,this challenge was approached by reducing the Bi_2O-3 particle radius,increasing the viscosity of the latex,and adding a dispersant.The experimental results confirmed that Bi2 O3 was well dispersed in the XNBRL in the concentration range of 30–70 wt%.The mechanical properties demonstrated that the Bi_2O_3/XNBR flexible films had a good resistance to oil,acid,alkali,and hot air.The linear attenuation coefficients of the Bi_2O_3/XNBR flexible films obtained from the experiments were in good agreement with the calculated values.The attenuation efficiencies of the Bi_2O_3/XNBR flexible films with different thicknesses and Bi_2O_3 contents were investigated for a few different γ-ray energies.These results showed that the Bi_2O_3/XNBRflexible films have wide application prospects for low-energy γ-ray attenuation.
