Abstract

A method of preparing polyester elastomer meltblown nonwoven fabric membrane with porous and high bonding strength includes the following steps of: (a) Adding a reaction solvent to a reaction solvent to thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE) powder or granules to prepare a solvent mixture. (b) Adding a modifier to the solvent mixture, and mixing uniformly to prepare a first mixture, the modifier includes at least one of o-xylylenediamine, m-xylylenediamine, alpha, alpha′-diamino-p-xylene, 2,3,5,6-Tetrachloro-p-xylene-alpha,alpha′-diamine, and 1,3,5,7-Tetraazatricyclodecane. (c) Adding an initiator to the first mixture, and mixing uniformly to prepare a second mixture. (d) Drying the second mixture to form a masterbatch, and (e) preparing the polyester elastomer meltblown nonwoven fabric membrane by passing the masterbatch through a meltblown process.

Claims (12)

1. A method of preparing polyester elastomer meltblown nonwoven fabric membrane with porous and high bonding strength, comprising the following steps of:

adding a reaction solvent with 0.5-20 parts by weight to thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE) powder or granules to prepare a solvent mixture, the reaction solvent being methyl formate or ethyl acetate,

adding a modifier with 0.5-10 parts by weight to the solvent mixture, and mixing uniformly to prepare a first mixture, the modifier including at least one of o-xylylenediamine, m-xylylenediamine, alpha, alpha′-diamino-p-xylene, 2,3,5,6-Tetrachloro-p-xylene-alpha, alpha′-diamine, and 1,3,5,7-Tetraazatricyclodecane,

adding an initiator with 0.5-20 parts by weight to the first mixture, and mixing uniformly to prepare a second mixture, the initiator including a photo initiator or a thermal initiator,

drying the second mixture in environment with a temperature between 95° C. and 115° C. to form a masterbatch with a moisture content of 500 to 1000 ppm, and

preparing polyester elastomer meltblown nonwoven fabric membrane by passing the masterbatch through a meltblown process.

2. A method of preparing polyester elastomer meltblown nonwoven fabric membrane in claim 1 , wherein a weight average molecular weight of the TPEE powder or granules is between 10000 and 30000, the Shore hardness of the TPEE powder or granules is between 50 A and 100 A, and a melting point of the TPEE powder or granules with a temperature between 40° C. and 180° C.

3. A method of preparing polyester elastomer meltblown nonwoven fabric membrane in claim 1 , wherein the reaction solvent with 10 parts by weight, the modifier with 5 parts by weight, and the initiator with 10 parts by weight.

4. A method of preparing polyester elastomer meltblown nonwoven fabric membrane in claim 1 , wherein the initiator and the first mixture are uniformly mixed as the second mixture at a rotation speed between 3 rpm and 7 rpm and at a temperature between 150° C. and 200° C.

5. A method of preparing polyester elastomer meltblown nonwoven fabric membrane in claim 4 , wherein the rotation speed is 5 rpm, and the temperature is 180° C.

6. A method of preparing polyester elastomer meltblown nonwoven fabric membrane in claim 1 , wherein the meltblown process is that the masterbatch is extruded by a single screw extruder and melted by heating to form a polyester elastomer melt, the polyester elastomer melt is filtered by a filter screen of a filter to form a filter melt, and then the filter melt is sprayed by a hot air to a carrier to form the polyester elastomer meltblown nonwoven fabric membrane.

7. A method of preparing polyester elastomer meltblown nonwoven fabric membrane in claim 6 , wherein the second mixture is dried in environment with a temperature 105° C.
