Abstract:

Objective Polyimide (PI) has excellent stability and mechanical properties and is widely used in various industries. PI staple yarn shows good mechanical properties, flame retardancy, high-temperature resistance and other properties. However, PI staple yarn is difficult to spin creating high level of yarn hairiness, and the yarn also has serious problem of static electricity. PI yarn hair is long, causing hair entanglement, resulting in unclear shed openings and yarn breakage during weaving, and the PI fabric is easy to pilling negatively affect the fabric appearance. Because of the above problems, this paper proposes an innovative idea of high smooth treatment of hairy PI single yarn at the end of yarn post-processing to efficiently achieve the transformation of low-quality PI yarn to high-quality PI yarn.
Method Based on this idea, a high smooth and clean yarn processing device was developed, and the mechanism of the key area of yarn leading and eddy current wrapping was simulated and analyzed theoretically. The device applied the wet heat eddy current to treat the multi-hair PI single yarn, and the PI single yarn and its fabric were obtained by double-twisting and weaving before and after the processing.
Results A three-dimensional numerical simulation model for the ingot fluid region of the high smooth treatment device was established (Fig. 3). The simulation results of the yarn drawing stage (Fig. 4) showed that strong suction was generated in the device before the yarn entered the wrapping device to ensure the smooth entry of the yarn into the device. The simulation results of the normal high smooth and clean spinning stage (Fig. 5) showed that the turbulence phenomenon under normal treatment was more obvious than that in the yarn drawing stage. Due to the presence of backflow and high-speed airflow, the hairiness of the wooly yarn was greatly reduced and the strength was improved after the device treatment. Based on theoretical analysis, the yarn and fabric experiment results was analyzed before and after the treatment. The yarn test results showed that the high smooth treatment significantly improved the yarn's apparent quality and made the yarn surface more smoothly (Fig. 6), and the harmful hairiness number of PI single yarn after the high smooth treatment was reduced by 97.69% (Fig. 7). After the treatment, the dry unevenness of the strands was improved (Tab. 3), the yarn strength was increased by 5.50% (Tab. 4), and the wear resistance of the yarn was increased by 48.84% (Fig. 8). The test results of the fabric showed that the fabric woven by the treated yarn was softer, smoother, more elastic (Fig. 9), and more smooth (Fig. 10). The warp and weft tensile mechanical properties of the treated fabric were greater than that of the original fabric (Tab. 5), and the air permeability of the fabric was increased by 66.09% after the treatment (Fig. 11). The pilling performance was effectively improved (Fig. 12). After the treatment, the fabric static electricity voltage dropped by 40.0%, and the friction electrostatic performance was improved (Tab. 6).
Conclusion PI yarn is processed by a high smooth treatment device, and the properties of yarn and fabric are compared through the simulation analysis embedded in the device. During the yarn initial stage, the flow line develops orderly along the helical route of the device, which is conducive to the generation of suction and smooth yarn route. In comparison, during the conventional high smooth treatment stage, the high-speed airflow of the air jet hole drives the high-speed rotating airflow, which wraps and holds the yarn surface hairiness. After the high smooth treatment, the degree of yarn hairiness is significantly reduced, the tensile property is improved, the unevenness of a single yarn is increased, and the wear resistance of yarn is improved. The treated fabric is smoother in appearance, with improvement in softness, smoothness, elasticity, breathability, and antistatic performance.
