Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
この発明は、可視光線、紫外線、赤外線の反射、干渉機能を有する新規な光学機能用繊維並びにそれを製造するための紡糸口金及びその製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、布地の高級な風合いに対する訴求から、単純な丸断面糸から異形断面とし、さらに2種以上の繊維を複合する事によって膨らみ等の感性繊維が開発され新合繊として、開花した。最近はさらに高度な感性、機能を有する繊維が求められている。その一つとして、深色性、光沢性がある。ところが深色性と光沢を同時に満足させようとすると、深色は得られるものの、色がくすんで鮮やかさを失ってしまい、また光沢を得ようとすると徒光(あだひかり)となってしまい、従来両立する技術は存在しなかった。その原因は、従来技術では、染料、顔料により発色させるものであり、光の吸収によって発色させるため、深色を得ようとすればするほど、反射光は減少するため光沢を失ってしまっていた。所で、自然界を見渡す時、例えば玉虫やモルフォ蝶は深色と光沢を同時に満足しており、染料、顔料と全く異なり深色性と光沢を同時に満足した色彩を持っている。この発色メカニズムとして、光の反射、干渉を利用しており、合成繊維においても、このメカニズムが利用できないか種々検討されている。例えば特公昭43−14185号公報において3層よりなる真珠光沢を有する被覆形複合繊維が開示されている。しかるに、層の数が高々3層としたとき、確かに反射、干渉によって発色は見られるもののその程度には限度があり、高度な感性に対する要求には不十分であった。
【0003】
多層でかつ実質的に界面がすべて平行となる繊維は、例えば特公昭60−1048号公報に記載の如く静止型混合器を有する紡糸パック内で異種ポリマーを交互に繰り返し接合させ、ついで得られたポリマーを吐出孔より吐出する事によって得る事ができる。この静止型混合器を用いて多層のフィルム上構成要素を介して重ねられたポリエチレンテレフタレートとナイロン6からなる複合繊維の例が示されており、真珠光沢を有する織物を得ている。所が、特公昭60−1048号公報に記載の方法で多層繊維を得ようとするとき、2つのポリマーの接合の繰り返し時にすこしづつ層流が乱れ、そこそこの多層は得られるものの、光学的精度での層の厚みのコントロールされた多層を得るには、不十分であった。とくに10層以上の多層を得ようとする時、接合回数としては、数回以上の繰り返しが必要であり、層間厚みの乱れのため、干渉光は得られるものの、その強度が不十分であるとともに、種々の波長の干渉光、すなわち色の濁りが観察され、感性的には不十分な色彩しか得られなかった。
【0004】
さらに特公昭57−20842号公報において静的流体混合装置、特公昭53−8806号公報、特公昭53−8807号公報において混合紡糸方法およびその装置が示されている。これらは2種類のポリマーの接合、分離を繰り返すものでありポリマー流の複雑さのため混合が発生する光学的寸法の多層を製造するには十分で無かった。
さらに特開昭62−170510号公報において、繊維表面に微細な凹凸を設けて干渉色を得ようとする方法が開示されている。この方法は、回折格子を繊維上に形成しようとするものである。同様な方法が特開平4−202805号公報によっても開示されている。これらの繊維においては、干渉による発色は認められるものの、上記薄膜と同様に干渉は、見る角度によって干渉波長が容易に異なる、即ち、布帛の色彩が変化してしまい、安価な感性しか得られていない。
【0005】
一方、特開昭59−228042号公報、特公昭60−24847号公報、特公昭63−64535号公報等では、見る角度により色調を変え、鮮やかな色調効果を有する事で有名な南米産のモルフォ蝶にヒントを得た発色繊維、布帛が提案されている。しかるに、これら発明に於いて用いられている繊維は異種ポリマーを張り合わせた偏平糸であり、それらを積層しても到底、光の干渉する厚さを得る事は困難であり、単に、反射光を抑える役割しか果たしていない。
一方、特開昭54−42421号公報において、異種ポリマーの多層張り合わせ繊維について開示されている。しかるに該公報に記載の方法は、多層部を中空環状に配置するものであり、一方の成分を溶解する事によって極細繊維を得る為のものであり、多層積層を光学寸法に一致させ干渉効果を得る繊維に対して示唆を与えるものではない。
【0006】
さらに、繊維としては、特開平7−34320号公報、特開平7−195603号公報、特開平7−331532号公報では通常の染料や顔料を使わないで発色するものが提案されており、屈折率の異なる2種のポリマーを交互積層し、それらの光学的厚みを制御することで非染色繊維の実現及び紫外線・赤外線反射機能をも付加する繊維構造が提案されている。
【0007】
一方、分子配向異方性フィルムを偏光フィルムでサンドイッチ構造にすることにより、発色する材料も発表されている(例えば、繊維機械学会誌Vol.42, No.2, P55(1989),同Vol.42, No.10, P160(1989))。更に特開平7−97766号公報や特開平7−97786号公報において、布帛の表面に表面側から入射した光の反射光と裏面における反射光により発色可能な実質的に透明な薄膜層を有する光干渉膜を設けた繊維布帛が開示されているこれら薄膜による干渉は、見る角度によって干渉波長が容易に異なる、即ち、布帛の色彩が変化してしまい、安価な感性しか得られていない。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上述するように光学的精度を有する多層積層構造を有し、反射光の波長のそろった、即ち、単色の発色が得られ、十分な光干渉効果を有する繊維の製造法さらにはそれに適した口金については未だ開示されていないのが現状である。従って本発明は、単色の発色を得るために多層を有するとともに、層の厚みが均一であり、効果的な干渉色を発現する2種のポリマーの多層積層糸の製造法及びそれに適した口金を提供することにある。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するための、本発明の複合高分子繊維紡糸用口金は、2種類以上の高分子化合物より複合高分子繊維を紡糸する紡糸用口金において、溶融した高分子化合物の一成分が通過する帯状の流路、および該流路の途中において、該流路の流れ方向と交差する方向に列状に開いた開口部の連続よりなる溶融した他の高分子成分を帯状流路へ吐出する吐出孔を有し、該帯状の流路は連続した列状の開口部の設置点より下流側において該帯状流路の厚みが拡大し、さらに該帯状流路の幅は徐々に小さくなるようなろう斗状部を形成し、該ろう斗状部の先端が複合高分子繊維吐出孔となっていることを特徴とするものである(請求項1)。
【0010】
さらに他の本発明の複合高分子繊維紡糸用口金は、前記帯状流路が、該帯状流路に交差する列状の開口部の設置点より上流側において櫛状の流路となり、上記帯状(櫛状)流路に交差する列状の開口部が、櫛状流路の流路と流路の間に設置されていることを特徴とするものである(請求項2)。
【0011】
さらに本発明の複合高分子繊維紡糸用口金は、前記帯状流路に交差する列状の開口部が、帯状流路の両端部又は中央部のみに設けられていることを特徴とするものである(請求項3)。
【0012】
さらに本発明の複合高分子繊維紡糸用口金は、前記ろう斗状先端部において該先端部の周囲を別流路がとり囲み、その後同一の流路となることを特徴とするものである(請求項4)。
【0013】
また本発明の複合高分子繊維の紡糸方法は上記紡糸口金を用い、2種類以上の高分子化合物により紡糸することを特徴とするものである(請求項5)。
【0014】
上記のような構成の複合高分子繊維紡糸用口金(請求項1)は、溶融した高分子化合物の一成分が流れる帯状流路に該流路と交差する形で列状の開口部の連続が開けられているため、この開口部の連続から流出する溶融した他の高分子化合物成分は、前記高分子化合物成分の帯状の流れの中に層をなすように導入される。その後帯状流路は帯の厚み方向(複数ポリマーが多層に積層している方向と垂直な方向)が拡大された後、帯の幅方向(複数ポリマーが多層に積層している方向)が小さくなるろう斗状部へと続くため、二成分以上の溶融高分子が層状となった流れは、複数ポリマーの多層積層方向が圧縮されるとともに、複数ポリマーの多層積層方向と垂直な方向が拡大されるため、得られた複合高分子繊維は図6のように薄膜が交互に積層した断面を持つ繊維(偏平糸)となり良好な光学機能を発揮するものである。
【0015】
本発明者らは、多層でかつ実質的に界面で各層が全て平行になる繊維を製造する方法について詳細に検討し、特に層の接合回数と層の乱れについて検討した結果、光学的精度で層間厚みをコントロールするためにはたった一回の接合で多層を作製することが重要であることを見いだした。
上記のような複合高分子繊維紡糸用口金を用いれば、得られる繊維は一回の接合で多層が作製されるため、各層の厚みが精度良くコントロールされるものである。さらに本発明の複合高分子繊維紡糸口金を用いれば上記のような偏平糸が得られ、この様な偏平糸は、偏平比を大きく取ることによって、繊維の太さを大きくすることができるため、製糸が容易になり好ましく、また積層方向を薄くできるために容易に層の厚みを光学距離、即ち0.05〜0.2 ミクロン程度にすることができる。さらには、偏平糸は織物となした時、多層方向を織物面と垂直に容易にひきそろえることができ、光干渉効果を大きく取り出すことができる。複合高分子繊維吐出孔となる矩形状スリットの長短軸比は10倍以上が好ましく、この時十分な偏平比を有する繊維を取り出すことができる。
以上のように本発明の複合高分子繊維紡糸用口金によれば、たった一度の接合回数によりポリマーの多層構造を作成し、圧縮さらには多層方向と垂直の方向への拡張を同時に行なうことによって、短軸側に屈折率の異なるポリマーが積層された偏平糸を作成することができ、織編物としたとき、光の干渉を効率よく利用でき、高級感のある深色性と光沢を兼ねた布帛とすることができる。
【0016】
また請求項2にかかわる複合高分子繊維紡糸用口金では、一方の溶融した高分子化合物が流れる帯状流路が連続した列状の開口部の設置点より上流側において櫛状流路となり、他方の溶融高分子化合物の流出する連続した開口部が上記櫛状流路の流路と流路の間に設置されているため、各々溶融高分子化合物が混ざることなくきれいな層状となるため、より良好に光学機能を発現するものである。
【0017】
さらに請求項3にかかわる複合高分子繊維紡糸用口金では、得られる複合高分子繊維が図7(a)(b)のように両端部又は中央部のみが薄膜交互積層状態となり、中央部又は両端部に一成分の芯1102ができるため、強度の向上した繊維が得られる。
【0018】
さらに請求項4にかかわる複合高分子繊維紡糸用口金では、得られる高分子繊維が図8のように周囲を鞘状に高分子化合物でとり囲まれるため、さらに強度が向上し、また薄膜交互積層部が剥離することのない繊維が得られる。
【0019】
上記帯状流路と交差する列状の開口部の開口の数として、3以上が好ましい。3を下回る時、生成する層の数が3を下回り、光の反射強度を十分に取る事ができないばかりでなく、繊維に対する光の入射及び反射の角度によって、色が変化してしまい、高級感のある発色が得られないので好ましくない。さらには15層以上が好ましい。また開口の数としては120 以下が好ましい。開口の数が120 を上回る時、得られる光の反射量の増大がもはや期待できないばかりか、口金構造が複雑になり、紡糸が困難に成るとともに、口金が高価になるため好ましくない。
【0020】
さらに開口の口径として0.05mmφ以上、 5.0mmφ以下が好ましい。0.05mmφを下回る開口においては、精度良く工作する事が困難であるとともに、紡糸中に開口に異物が引っ掛かりやすく吐出量の減少が生じ、層の厚みが減少し易く成るために好ましくない。一方、開口が 5.0mmφをこえる大口径となると、開口を通過するポリマーの量が少ないために吐出斑を生じ易く、また開口の配列において、その幅が大きくなり、多数の層を限られた口金の中に作成することは困難に成るため好ましくない。
【0021】
また開口の中心間距離(ピッチ)として、 0.2mm以上15mm以下が好ましい。 0.2mmを下回る中心間距離の時、開口間に割り込んでくる高分子化合物に対して隙間を確保できず層形成性が十分でない。一方、中心間距離が15mmを上回る時、開口が大きくなりすぎて装置が大きくなるという制約がある。
【0022】
また本発明の複合高分子繊維の製造方法は(請求項5)上記のような紡糸口金を用いて複合高分子繊維を紡糸するものであり、所望の光学機能及び強度を持った複合高分子繊維を容易に製造することができる。
なお以上述べてきた列状の開口部は必ずしも一直線状に開けられる必要はなく、微細な孔を近接して開けるときの加工性の容易さ等のため、図13(a)のように多少千鳥状に配列したり、あるいは図13(b)のように多少段差をつけて配列しても良いものである。
【0023】
なおこのとき、帯状流路を流れる高分子化合物を高分子1、それに交差する列状の開口部より吐出する高分子化合物を高分子2とすると、高分子2が高分子1中に貫入する為には、高分子2の流速が高分子1の流速の2倍以上あることが必要であり、さらには4倍以上の流速がある事が好ましい。流速比が20をこえるとき、高分子2の吐出量が多すぎる事、高分子1の流速が遅すぎる等のため積層形成が不可能になり好ましくない。
さらに高分子1と高分子2の粘度比が重要である。高分子1に対する高分子2の粘度比の好ましい範囲は 0.7以上 5.0以下である。さらには 1.0以上 3.0以下の粘度比が好ましい。粘度比が 0.7を下回る時、流速比を2を下回る範囲に下げてさえ、層の形成は困難になる。またポリマーの粘度比が 5.0を上回る時、高分子2の粘度が高すぎるために流動性が十分でなく、層に偏りが発生するため好ましくない。
【0024】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に本発明の複合高分子繊維の実施の形態を図面を参照しながら説明する。
【0025】
図1は本発明の複合高分子繊維紡糸用口金の一部を破断した斜視図、図2は図1のろう斗状部の拡大斜視図、図3(a)は列状の開口部7を横断する形で切断した平面図で、図面の上側が帯状流路の下流側となり、図3(b)は列状の開口部7を縦に切断する形で見た立面図である。分配板1、上口金2、中口金3、下口金4の4つの円板状部品が積層された形で構成されており、分配板1には二成分の高分子化合物A及びBをそれぞれ別の経路で供給するための流路5及び6が設けられている。
【0026】
また上口金2には列状の開口部7へ高分子化合物Aを導く流路が設けられており、また高分子化合物Bを口金の中心に導く流路6′が設けられている。中口金3の中心に導かれた高分子化合物Bは中口金3の上面に放射状に設けられた流路8を通り、さらに流路8に並行するように設けられたろう斗状部9へ通じる堰状部10の上面を帯状の流れとなって通過する。
【0027】
このように堰状部10の上面を帯状に通過する高分子化合物Bの上に列状の開口部7より流出する高分子化合物Aが入り込み、高分子化合物Aと高分子化合物Bが層状に交互に積層された形でろう斗状部9へ流れ込み(図2の矢印参照)、ろう斗状部9では、流路の断面形状がポリマーが多数積層している方向と垂直な方向が拡大し、ポリマーが多数積層している方向が徐々に短くなり、ここを通過した後、吐出口11より吐出される。さらに吐出口11より出た高分子化合物は下口金4に開けられた最終紡糸口12を通って紡糸される。
【0028】
このように堰状部10上で積層された高分子化合物Aと高分子化合物Bはろう斗状部9でポリマーが多数積層している方向と垂直な方向が拡大されるとともに、ポリマーが多数積層している方向が圧縮されるため、きれいな層状態が保たれ、得られた複合高分子繊維は良好に光学機能を発現できる。さらに列状の開口部7の口径や間隔等を調整することにより、希望する層厚の複合高分子繊維が得られ、好みの色調の光を発することが可能となる。
【0029】
なお、図1において帯状流路の両端部にのみ列状の開口部7を設けられており中心部に高分子化合物Bによる芯部のある図7(a)に示すような複合高分子繊維が得られるが、列状の開口部7が全長にわたって設けられていれば図6に示すような繊維が得られる。
【0030】
なお、図1乃至図3の紡糸口金において開口13を設けず芯部1102は単に高分子化合物Bが流路8より溢れてくる分を用いてもよいが、図3(a)(b)に示すように芯材の吐出孔13を設け別流路より高分子化合物Bを供給すると、芯部1102への材料供給が円滑に進むのである。
【0031】
図4に本発明の他の実施の形態を示す。ここでは堰状部10′は図4のように櫛状となっており、その凸部の上面は上口金2に接しているため、高分子化合物Bは凸部の間の流路14のみを通過する。その後堰状部10′が切れた点で列状の開口部7が開口しており、さらに列状の開口部7は堰状部の凸部の延長線上に位置するため、高分子化合物Aと高分子化合物Bは混ざりあうこともなく、より良好に積層構造を形成する。
【0032】
図5には本発明の他の実施の形態を示す。図5において分配板1に開けられた流路5を通過した高分子化合物Aの一部は流路15を通り、下口金4上の最終紡糸口入口19の周囲に同心円に設けた流路17へ導かれ、さらに高分子化合物Aは円形堰状部18の上面を通過して最終紡糸口入口19へと流入する。このとき最終紡糸口入口19の中心には同時に吐出口11から流出する薄膜交互積層体が流入するため、ここで薄膜交互積層体の周囲は高分子化合物Aでとり囲まれ、図8に示すような構造の繊維が得られる。
【0033】
さらに本発明の他の実施態様として、図1と図5を組み合わせた図14に示すような紡糸口金の列を示す。このような紡糸口金を用いることにより、図7と図8が組み合わされた構造である、図15に示すような構造の繊維が得られる。
【0034】
【実施例1】
図1に示す紡糸口金を用いて複合高分子繊維の紡糸を行った。開口7の口径を0.15mmφ、ピッチを 0.4mmとし、帯状流路上部の両端に開口7を15個設けた。芯部吹き出し口13は口径0.28mmφとし図3のように開口7の列より上流側に設けた。堰状部10の上面と開口7が開けられている板との間隔は0.15mmである。またろう斗状部9の幅Wを 2.5mmとし、ろう斗状部9での圧縮率を90として直線的に圧縮を行った。最終紡糸口12の寸法は0.14mm× 2.1mmで各薄膜と直行する向き(積層方向)を0.14mmとした。
【0035】
流路6への供給する高分子化合物Bとしてナイロン6(〔η〕= 1.3)を使用し、その供給量は4g/minとした。流路5へ供給する高分子化合物Aとしてはナトリウムスルフォイソフタール酸成分を 1.5モル%共重合したポリエチレンテレフタレート(〔η〕=0.48)を使用し、その供給量は12g/minとした。口金温度 280℃で紡糸速度=1200m/minで巻き取った。この時の繊維の偏平率は4であった。これを80℃に加熱されたローラーに供給し、延伸倍率=20倍で延伸を行った。この時の繊度は60デニールであり、その断面は図9のようになり、その芯部は薄手方向の厚さに対し30%ほどであった。この得られた繊維からは赤〜緑の発色が認められ、また編機や織機にかけても問題のない充分な強度を有していた。
【0036】
【実施例2】
図5に示す紡糸口金を用いて、複合高分子繊維の紡糸を行った。開口7の径は0.15mmφ、ピッチ 0.4mmで35個1列に開口した。高分子化合物Bとしてポリメチルメタクレート( 230℃におけるMFR=14)を供給量4g/minで供給し、高分子化合物Aとしてはポリカーボネート( 280℃における粘度= 900ポイズ)を供給量12g/ minで供給し、口金温度 280℃で2000m/minで紡糸を行った。この時の繊度は72デニールであり、図10に示すような断面構造を有し、ほぼ緑色の明確な発色が認められた。
【0037】
【比較例】
実施例1において用いる紡糸口金として芯部吐出口13が無く、開口7が連続して35個一直線に開いているものを用い、他は実施例1と同様にして図11に示すような断面構造の複合高分子繊維を得た。
【0038】
このようにして得られた繊維と実施例1で得られた繊維の引張強度を測定した結果を図12に示す。aは比較例で得られた繊維で、bは実施例1で得られた繊維である。このように芯部を持った実施例1の薄膜交互積層繊維は芯部を持たないものに比べて強度がはるかに高くなっていた。
【0039】
【実施例3】
図16に示す紡糸口金を用いて、3種類の高分子による紡糸を行った。なおこの例では分配板の上にさらにもう1枚上部分配板を用意し第3の高分子Cを供給する流路を設け開口14へと導いた。
開口7の口径を0.15mmφ、ピッチを0.4mmとし、帯状流路の上部両端に開口7を15個設けた。芯吹き出し口13は口径0.38mmφとし、図3のように4個設けた。堰状部10の上面と開口7が開けられている板との間隔は0.15mmとした。又漏斗状部9での圧縮率を90として直線的に圧縮を行った。紡糸口12の寸法は0.125mm×2.5mmで、ストレート長0.4mmとした。
上部分配板20と分配板に設けられた流路(図示せず)を通じて流路6へ供給する高分子化合物Bをポリエチレンナフタレートとし供給量5g/minで、又流路5へ供給する高分子化合物Aをナイロンとして供給量15g/minで、さらに開口13へ供給する高分子化合物Cをポリエチレンテレフタレートに酸化物を分散させた混合物とし供給量10g/minで、それぞれ供給した。口金温度を278℃、巻取速度を1500m/min、延伸倍率を2.1倍とした。
得られた繊維は図15に示すような構造で、中心にポリエチレンテレフタレートと酸化物の混合体より成る芯部、周囲にナイロンより成る鞘状部を有し、その間にナイロンとポリエチレンナフタレートの薄膜相互積層部を有する繊維が得られた。この繊維には赤色の鮮やかな発色が認められた。
【0040】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように本発明の複合高分子繊維は2種以上の異なる高分子成分より成る薄膜交互積層部とともに、補強部となる芯部を同時に有しているため、光学機能を良く発現するとともに編機や織機にかけられる実用的強度を有する。
【0041】
また本発明の紡糸口金及び紡糸方法によれば、上記のような繊維を精度良く、容易に得ることがでる。

In recent years, due to the appeal for the high-quality texture of fabrics, sensation fibers such as bulges have been developed by using simple round cross-section yarns and deformed cross-sections, and by combining two or more types of fibers, and flowered as new synthetic fibers. Recently, fibers having higher sensitivity and function have been demanded. One of them is deep color and gloss. However, if you try to satisfy both deep color and luster at the same time, you can get deep colors, but the colors become dull and you lose vividness. In the past, there was no technology that was compatible. The cause is that in the prior art, the color is developed by dyes and pigments, and the color is developed by absorption of light, so the more you try to obtain deep colors, the less reflected light, and the gloss has been lost. . However, when looking at the natural world, for example, beetles and morpho butterflies satisfy deep color and luster at the same time. Unlike dyes and pigments, they have deep color and luster simultaneously. As the coloring mechanism, light reflection and interference are utilized, and various studies have been conducted on whether this mechanism can be utilized even in synthetic fibers. For example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 43-14185 discloses a coated composite fiber having a pearly luster composed of three layers. However, when the number of layers is three at most, the coloration is surely seen by reflection and interference, but the degree is limited, and it is insufficient for the demand for high sensitivity.
[0003]
Multilayer fibers having substantially parallel interfaces are obtained by alternately joining different polymers in a spinning pack having a static mixer as described in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-1048. It can be obtained by discharging the polymer from the discharge hole. An example of a composite fiber composed of polyethylene terephthalate and nylon 6 laminated with components on a multilayer film using this static mixer is shown, and a woven fabric having a pearly luster is obtained. However, when trying to obtain a multi-layer fiber by the method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-1048, laminar flow is turbulent little by little during the joining of two polymers, and a moderate multi-layer is obtained, but optical accuracy is obtained. It was insufficient to obtain a multilayer with controlled layer thickness. In particular, when trying to obtain a multilayer of 10 layers or more, the number of times of joining is required to be repeated several times or more, and interference light can be obtained due to the disturbance of the interlayer thickness, but the strength is insufficient. In addition, interference light of various wavelengths, that is, color turbidity was observed, and only a color insufficient in sensitivity was obtained.
[0004]
Further, Japanese Patent Publication No. 57-20842 discloses a static fluid mixing apparatus, Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-8806, and Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-8807, which show a mixed spinning method and apparatus. These repeated joining and separation of two types of polymers, and due to the complexity of the polymer flow, they were not sufficient to produce optically sized multilayers where mixing occurred.
Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 62-170510 discloses a method for obtaining an interference color by providing fine irregularities on the fiber surface. This method is intended to form a diffraction grating on a fiber. A similar method is also disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-202805. In these fibers, although coloration due to interference is recognized, the interference wavelength is easily different depending on the viewing angle, i.e., the color of the fabric is changed, so that only low sensitivity is obtained. Absent.
[0005]
On the other hand, in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication Nos. 59-228042, 60-24847, 63-64535, etc., the morpho of South America is famous for having a vivid color effect by changing the color tone according to the viewing angle. Coloring fibers and fabrics inspired by butterflies have been proposed. However, the fibers used in these inventions are flat yarns in which different polymers are laminated, and even if they are laminated, it is difficult to obtain a thickness that interferes with light. It plays only the role of restraint.
On the other hand, JP-A-54-42421 discloses a multi-layer laminated fiber of different polymers. However, the method described in the publication is to arrange the multilayer portion in a hollow ring shape, and to obtain ultrafine fibers by dissolving one component, and the interference effect is obtained by matching the multilayer stack with the optical dimensions. It does not give any suggestion for the fiber obtained.
[0006]
Furthermore, as the fiber, those disclosed in JP-A-7-34320, JP-A-7-195603, and JP-A-7-331532 have been proposed that develop color without using ordinary dyes and pigments. A fiber structure has been proposed in which two types of different polymers are alternately laminated and the optical thickness thereof is controlled to realize non-dyed fibers and to add an ultraviolet / infrared reflecting function.
[0007]
On the other hand, a material that develops color by making a molecularly oriented anisotropic film a sandwich structure with a polarizing film has also been published (for example, Journal of Textile Machinery Society Vol.42, No.2, P55 (1989), Vol. 42, No. 10, P160 (1989)). Further, in JP-A-7-97766 and JP-A-7-97786, light having a substantially transparent thin film layer that can be colored by reflected light incident on the surface of the fabric from the front side and reflected light on the back side. The interference caused by these thin films in which a fiber fabric provided with an interference film is disclosed has an interference wavelength that varies easily depending on the viewing angle, that is, the color of the fabric changes, and only an inexpensive sensibility is obtained.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, a method for producing a fiber having a multilayered laminated structure having optical accuracy, having a uniform reflected light wavelength, that is, producing a single color and having a sufficient light interference effect, and a die suitable for it Is not disclosed yet. Therefore, the present invention provides a method for producing a multilayer laminated yarn of two types of polymers having a multilayer for obtaining a single color, having a uniform layer thickness, and expressing an effective interference color, and a die suitable for the method. It is to provide.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the composite polymer fiber spinning die of the present invention is a spinning die for spinning a composite polymer fiber from two or more kinds of polymer compounds. And a molten polymer component composed of a series of openings opened in a row in a direction intersecting the flow direction of the flow path is discharged to the belt-like flow path. The strip-shaped channel has a discharge hole, and the thickness of the strip-shaped channel increases on the downstream side from the installation point of the continuous row of openings, and the width of the strip-shaped channel gradually decreases. A funnel-shaped part is formed, and the tip of the funnel-shaped part is a composite polymer fiber discharge hole (Claim 1).
[0010]
In still another composite polymer fiber spinning base of the present invention, the band-shaped channel becomes a comb-shaped channel on the upstream side from the installation point of the row-shaped opening crossing the band-shaped channel, and the band-shaped ( The column-shaped openings intersecting the comb-shaped flow paths are disposed between the flow paths of the comb-shaped flow paths (claim 2).
[0011]
Further, the composite polymer fiber spinning base of the present invention is characterized in that the row-shaped openings intersecting the belt-like channel are provided only at both ends or the center of the belt-like channel. (Claim 3).
[0012]
Furthermore, the composite polymer fiber spinning die of the present invention is characterized in that another flow path surrounds the periphery of the tip portion at the funnel-shaped tip portion, and thereafter the same flow channel is formed (claim). Item 4).
[0013]
The spinning method of the composite polymer fiber of the present invention is characterized by using the above spinneret and spinning with two or more kinds of polymer compounds (Claim 5).
[0014]
In the composite polymer fiber spinning die having the above-described configuration (Claim 1), the continuous openings in a row intersect with the belt-like channel through which one component of the molten polymer compound flows. Since it is opened, the other molten polymer compound component flowing out from the continuation of the opening is introduced in a layered manner into the band-like flow of the polymer compound component. Thereafter, the band-shaped channel is expanded in the thickness direction of the band (direction perpendicular to the direction in which the plurality of polymers are laminated in multiple layers), and then the width direction of the band (the direction in which the plurality of polymers are laminated in multiple layers) is reduced. Since it flows to the funnel-shaped part, the flow in which the molten polymer of two or more components is layered compresses the multi-layer multi-layer stacking direction and expands the direction perpendicular to the multi-polymer multi-layer stacking direction. Therefore, the obtained composite polymer fiber becomes a fiber (flat yarn) having a cross section in which thin films are alternately laminated as shown in FIG. 6 and exhibits a good optical function.
[0015]
The inventors of the present invention have studied in detail a method for producing a multi-layered fiber in which each layer is substantially parallel at the interface, and in particular, as a result of studying the number of layer joining and layer disturbance, In order to control the thickness, it was found that it is important to produce a multilayer by only one bonding.
If a composite polymer fiber spinning die as described above is used, the resulting fiber is formed into a multilayer by a single bonding, and therefore the thickness of each layer can be controlled with high accuracy. Furthermore, if the composite polymer fiber spinneret of the present invention is used, the above-described flat yarn can be obtained, and such a flat yarn can increase the thickness of the fiber by increasing the flatness ratio. The yarn can be easily manufactured, and the lamination direction can be reduced. Therefore, the thickness of the layer can be easily reduced to the optical distance, that is, about 0.05 to 0.2 microns. Furthermore, when the flat yarn is made into a woven fabric, the multilayer direction can be easily aligned perpendicularly to the woven fabric surface, and the light interference effect can be greatly extracted. The long / short axis ratio of the rectangular slit serving as the composite polymer fiber discharge hole is preferably 10 times or more. At this time, fibers having a sufficient flatness ratio can be taken out.
As described above, according to the composite polymer fiber spinning die of the present invention, by creating a multilayer structure of the polymer by the number of times of joining once, by performing compression and further expansion in the direction perpendicular to the multilayer direction at the same time, Fabrics that can create flat yarns with polymers with different refractive indexes laminated on the short axis side, and when used as woven or knitted fabrics, can efficiently use light interference and have high-quality deep color and gloss It can be.
[0016]
Further, in the composite polymer fiber spinning base according to claim 2, the band-shaped channel through which one molten polymer compound flows becomes a comb-shaped channel upstream from the installation point of the continuous row of openings, and the other Since the continuous openings through which the molten polymer compound flows out are installed between the channels of the comb-shaped channel, each of the molten polymer compounds becomes a clean layer without being mixed, so it is better It expresses optical functions.
[0017]
Further, in the composite polymer fiber spinning die according to claim 3, the obtained composite polymer fiber is in a thin film alternately laminated state at both ends or the center as shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b). Since a one-component core 1102 is formed in the part, a fiber with improved strength can be obtained.
[0018]
Furthermore, in the composite polymer fiber spinning die according to claim 4, the obtained polymer fiber is surrounded by a polymer compound in a sheath shape as shown in FIG. A fiber in which the part does not peel is obtained.
[0019]
The number of openings in the row of openings that intersect with the belt-like channel is preferably 3 or more. When the number is less than 3, the number of layers to be generated is less than 3, and it is not only impossible to obtain sufficient light reflection intensity, but also the color changes depending on the angle of incidence and reflection of light on the fiber, resulting in a high-class feeling. This is not preferable because a certain color cannot be obtained. Furthermore, 15 layers or more are preferable. The number of openings is preferably 120 or less. When the number of openings exceeds 120, an increase in the amount of reflected light can no longer be expected, and the base structure becomes complicated, spinning becomes difficult, and the base becomes expensive.
[0020]
Further, the aperture diameter is preferably 0.05 mmφ or more and 5.0 mmφ or less. When the opening is less than 0.05 mmφ, it is difficult to work with high accuracy, and foreign matter is easily caught in the opening during spinning, resulting in a decrease in the discharge amount, and the thickness of the layer tends to decrease. On the other hand, if the opening has a large diameter exceeding 5.0 mmφ, the amount of polymer passing through the opening is small, so that discharge spots are likely to occur.In addition, the width of the array of openings becomes large, and the number of layers is limited. It is not preferable because it becomes difficult to create the inside.
[0021]
Further, the distance (pitch) between the centers of the openings is preferably 0.2 mm or more and 15 mm or less. When the center-to-center distance is less than 0.2 mm, a gap cannot be secured for the polymer compound that cuts between the openings, and the layer forming property is not sufficient. On the other hand, when the center-to-center distance exceeds 15 mm, there is a restriction that the opening becomes too large and the device becomes large.
[0022]
The method for producing a composite polymer fiber of the present invention (Claim 5) is a method of spinning a composite polymer fiber using the spinneret as described above, and having a desired optical function and strength. Can be easily manufactured.
The row of openings described above does not necessarily have to be opened in a straight line. For ease of workability when opening minute holes close to each other, the staggered pattern as shown in FIG. They may be arranged in a shape, or may be arranged with a slight step as shown in FIG.
[0023]
At this time, if the polymer compound flowing through the belt-like channel is the polymer 1, and the polymer compound discharged from the row of openings intersecting with the polymer compound is the polymer 2, the polymer 2 penetrates into the polymer 1. For this, the flow rate of the polymer 2 needs to be at least twice as high as that of the polymer 1, and more preferably 4 times or more. When the flow rate ratio exceeds 20, it is not preferable because the discharge amount of the polymer 2 is too large and the flow rate of the polymer 1 is too slow.
Furthermore, the viscosity ratio of polymer 1 and polymer 2 is important. A preferable range of the viscosity ratio of the polymer 2 to the polymer 1 is 0.7 or more and 5.0 or less. Furthermore, a viscosity ratio of 1.0 or more and 3.0 or less is preferable. When the viscosity ratio is below 0.7, the layer formation becomes difficult even if the flow rate ratio is lowered to a range below 2. On the other hand, when the viscosity ratio of the polymer exceeds 5.0, the viscosity of the polymer 2 is too high, so that the fluidity is not sufficient, and the layer is unbalanced, which is not preferable.
[0024]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the composite polymer fiber of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0025]
1 is a perspective view in which a part of a composite polymer fiber spinning base of the present invention is broken, FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view of a funnel-shaped portion of FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 3 (b) is an elevational view as seen in a form in which the row-like openings 7 are cut longitudinally. It consists of four disk-shaped parts, ie, a distribution plate 1, an upper base 2, an intermediate base 3, and a lower base 4, and the distribution plate 1 is divided into two polymer compounds A and B, respectively. Flow paths 5 and 6 are provided for supplying via the above path.
[0026]
The upper base 2 is provided with a flow path for guiding the polymer compound A to the row of openings 7, and a flow path 6 'for guiding the high molecular compound B to the center of the base. The polymer compound B guided to the center of the middle cap 3 passes through the flow path 8 provided radially on the upper surface of the middle cap 3 and further reaches the funnel-shaped portion 9 provided in parallel with the flow path 8. It passes through the upper surface of the shaped part 10 as a belt-like flow.
[0027]
Thus, the polymer compound A flowing out from the row-shaped openings 7 enters the polymer compound B passing through the upper surface of the weir 10 in a strip shape, and the polymer compound A and the polymer compound B alternate in layers. (See the arrow in FIG. 2), the funnel-shaped portion 9 expands the cross-sectional shape of the flow path in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which many polymers are stacked, The direction in which a large number of polymers are laminated gradually becomes shorter, and after passing therethrough, the polymer is discharged from the discharge port 11. Further, the polymer compound discharged from the discharge port 11 is spun through a final spinning port 12 opened in the lower nozzle 4.
[0028]
In this way, the polymer compound A and the polymer compound B laminated on the weir 10 are expanded in the direction perpendicular to the direction in which many polymers are laminated in the funnel-shaped part 9, and many polymers are laminated. Since the direction in which the film is compressed is compressed, a clean layer state is maintained, and the obtained composite polymer fiber can exhibit an excellent optical function. Further, by adjusting the apertures, intervals, etc. of the row of openings 7, a composite polymer fiber having a desired layer thickness can be obtained, and light having a desired color tone can be emitted.

[0030]
In the spinneret of FIGS. 1 to 3, the opening 110 is not provided, and the core part 1102 may simply use the portion where the polymer compound B overflows from the flow path 8, but it is shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b). As shown, when the core material discharge hole 13 is provided and the polymer compound B is supplied from a separate flow path, the material supply to the core 1102 proceeds smoothly.

After that, the row-like openings 7 are opened at the point where the weir-like portion 10 ′ is cut, and the row-like openings 7 are located on the extension lines of the convex portions of the weir-like portion. The polymer compound B does not mix and forms a laminated structure better.
[0032]
FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 5, part of the polymer compound A that has passed through the flow path 5 opened in the distribution plate 1 passes through the flow path 15, and the flow path 17 provided concentrically around the final spinneret inlet 19 on the lower base 4. Further, the polymer compound A passes through the upper surface of the circular weir 18 and flows into the final spinneret inlet 19. At this time, since the thin film alternate laminate that flows out from the discharge port 11 simultaneously flows into the center of the final spinneret inlet 19, the periphery of the thin film alternate laminate is surrounded by the polymer compound A, as shown in FIG. A fiber having a simple structure is obtained.
[0033]
Furthermore, as another embodiment of the present invention, a spinneret row as shown in FIG. 14 which is a combination of FIGS. 1 and 5 is shown. By using such a spinneret, a fiber having a structure as shown in FIG. 15, which is a structure in which FIGS. 7 and 8 are combined, is obtained.
