Antibacterial waterproof moisture-permeable TPU for producing band-aid, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polyurethane elastomers, and particularly relates to a bacteriostatic waterproof moisture-permeable TPU for producing a band-aid, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The band-aid is a surgical article most commonly used in our life and mainly consists of a dry adhesive plaster, a medicated absorption pad and a separation permeable membrane. In the band-aid, the drug-containing absorption pad is in direct contact with the wound, and the main function of the band-aid is hemostasis and wound protection. The dry adhesive tape is mainly used for fixing the band-aid, and the absorbent pad containing the medicine is ensured to continuously act on the wound. The isolating permeable membrane has the main functions of inhibiting bacterial invasion, isolating water-impregnated wounds, and guaranteeing the ventilation and dryness of the wounds, so that the infection risk is reduced.
The nanofiber membrane obtained by electrostatic spinning has soft hand feeling due to superfine fiber diameter, and is formed by splitting and drafting high polymer solution into jet flow in an electric field by utilizing high-voltage static electricity, and finally depositing the jet flow on the surface of a receiving device along with volatilization of a solvent. The nanofiber membrane has a large specific surface area, so that the coverage, warmth retention and bulkiness of the nanofiber membrane are better than those of other types of fibers, the high porosity of the nanofiber membrane can improve the moisture permeability, and the invasion of harmful gas, dust and bacteria can be effectively prevented. The electrostatic spinning nanofiber membrane also has higher elongation at break and elastic deformation, so that the electrostatic spinning nanofiber membrane has wide application prospect in the field of waterproof and moisture permeable materials.
The film prepared from polyurethane is cheap and easy to obtain, simple to prepare, has good mechanical property and chemical stability, and has waterproofness and breathability, so that the film is widely applied to the waterproof and moisture permeable field. With the development of electrostatic spinning technology, polyurethane and other polymers, natural polymer materials and the like are subjected to blending spinning, so that the performance of the polyurethane material is improved, and the application field of the polyurethane material can be wider. Research shows that the introduction of fluorine element into the membrane material can improve the hydrophobicity of the material. The polyvinylidene fluoride has small surface energy, strong hydrophobicity, good chemical stability, heat resistance and mechanical property, and is a polymer film material with excellent performance.
The solutions for electrostatic spinning TPU are mostly N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF) or Dimethylacetamide (DMAC), the dispersion capacity of the two solutions to TPU is low, generally between 8% and 12%, the increase of the concentration of the solutions can increase the spinning yield, but simultaneously the spinning liquid is sticky, the Taylor cone diameter under an electric field in the spinning process is reduced, the contact between a filament body and air is reduced, the volatilization of a spinning solvent is incomplete in the spinning process, and the phenomenon that the solvent breaks down a film is caused, so that the quality of spinning is greatly influenced.
The analysis shows that the TPU product prepared by the industrial electrostatic spinning at the present stage has the problems of low yield, bacteriostasis, water resistance and difficult compatibility of the moisture permeability.
