Abstract: The present invention relates to a filament or fibre absorbing odorous molecules in particular acid and/or basic gases having a predetermined outer surface in which at least one portion of said surface comprises -COOH carboxylic groups and/or -COO- carboxylate groups complexed with metal salts. Said portion is advantageously made up of a matrix obtained from the reaction of a mixture comprising a polyester as well as a first copolymer of at least one olefin and alkyl (meth)acrylate and/or (meth)acrylic acid (A) and a second (co)polymer comprising -C2H3O(B) oxirane groups at least one portion of the (meth)acrylate functions of the copolymer (A) having been transformed into corresponding carboxylate and/or carboxylic functions.
The present invention concerns the technical area of the fibers or filaments with an absorption capacity of acid gases and / or basic, in particular related to odors from perspiration.
When playing sports, physical exertion increases the body temperature which causes a larger sweating at rest and a production volatile odorants. The first textile layer that a user wears during practice of a sport is the preferred receptor sweat and odor molecules in particular from the degradation of the proteins contained in sweat by bacteria present on the skin. This textile layer retains these odor molecules and thus smells after a workout, especially when dry, which requires washing before the next meeting. It is even common for a textile layer of polyester gives off bad odors already-during the workout.
This poor vis-à-vis behavior of textile polyester odors meet generally when the textile is in contact with the sweat of the wearer without the latter carries necessarily a sport.
Textile materials do not react the same way vis-à-vis the odors. Natural materials, including wool base, feel little, if any, bad odors, especially related to perspiration.
The existing solutions today to reduce malodor synthetic textiles, especially polyester, are either to remove said odor absorption and / or destruction and / or said masking odors, or eliminate the bacteria responsible for the synthesis of odorant molecules .
To overcome these drawbacks, use of textiles made from fibers and / or filaments Adjusted function (s) with cage molecules of cyclodextrin, or carbon nanoparticles, bamboo or coconut, or they used coffee-based fibers. But these solutions are not sustainable since the functionalizing agents are eliminated as and washes, and / or have limited effectiveness in addition to odor absorption and / or modify the properties touch textiles for example in the stiffening regarding particular cyclodextrins.
Another solution is to introduce odor absorbing materials, such as natural fibers, for example cotton in the polyester-based textiles. But this solution has the disadvantage that it is expensive and does not allow rapid drying of the textile article and thus also accelerated evacuation of sweat. However, drying properties and rapid evacuation of sweat are particularly sought after in the case of technical textiles for the practice of a sport. Moreover, cotton tends to pill.
It is also possible to have antibacterial agents on the fabric articles, such nanometal silver, copper, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide or platinum. However, these antibacterial agents act directly on the bacteria that are in contact with the skin. This solution is valid only for textile articles to be worn very close to the body, such as socks, but is not valid, or much less, for T-shirts, for example. In addition, the legislation on biocides is becoming stricter as affecting the skin bacterial flora.
EP 0792957 Bl discloses the manufacture of a fiber having acidic gas absorption properties and basic at the same time via the carboxylic groups (-COOH) and carboxylate groups (-COO-)
complexed with a metal salt, e.g. a sodium salt, in order to remove odors (see [0002]). This fiber is obtained by modifying a base fiber comprising more than 40% by weight of polyacrylinotrile (PAN) with hydrazine (NH2-NH2) to crosslink it and increase its nitrogen content between 1% and 8% its total weight. The remaining nitrile groups on said fiber are then hydrolyzed using a basic solution of a metal salt, eg sodium or potassium hydroxide. The fiber is then immersed in a nitric acid solution for 30 minutes and then washed (see Example 1 [0048]).
The process described in EP 0792957 Bl only applies to a fiber polyacrylonitrile obtained by definition coagulation polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and spinning the latter. The fibers obtained have a pinkish coloration and does not stain, or are very difficult. In addition, these fibers do not have sufficient toughness to constitute only a thread, it is necessary to use them in combination with other fibers and / or filaments to overcome their limited mechanical properties. Or the mixture of acrylic fibers with synthetic fibers such as polyester fibers, for example, is complex because of the dyeing problems (acrylic fibers are often blended with wool and do not withstand a temperature higher than 100 ° VS). Moreover,
Finally, technical articles in sport are mainly in synthetic materials such as polyester or polyamide and not based on cotton or viscose or acrylic fibers for reasons of cost and efficiency in terms of speed of drying and moisture management but also ease implementation, particularly with regard to mechanical performance and dyeing.
There is thus a need for fibers or filaments, in particular based on polyethylene terephthalate, overcomes the aforementioned problems,
including absorbing odors and / or neutralizing and sustainably despite the washes, which are inexpensive to manufacture, able to be (es) and son out in the form of textile fabric and easy to dye.

Advantageously, said portion is comprised of a matrix resulting from the reaction of a mixture comprising a polyester, a first copolymer of at least one olefin and (meth) acrylate and / or (meth) acrylic acid (a) and a second (co) polymer comprising oxirane groups -C 2 H 3O (B), at least part of functions of (meth) acrylic or (meth) acrylates of copolymer (A) having been converted into the corresponding carboxylate functions and / or corresponding carboxylic acids.

The first copolymer (A) may also comprise acrylic functions providing the COOH carboxylic functions necessary and requiring no processing to absorb basic gas through acid-base reactions. The second polymer (B) makes it possible to embed the first polymer (A) stably in said matrix and to adjust the viscosity of the matrix, in particular so that it is capable of being extruded-spun.
Advantageously, the (meth) acrylates in said portion having undergone steps of saponification and / or acidification and / or complexation described below form said carboxylic groups (-COOH) corresponding and / or said carboxylate groups (-COO ) corresponding complexes with metal salts.
The main mechanism involved in the absorption of gas is based on the carboxylic functions supported by the fiber or filament that will react with the basic gas and / or on supported carboxylate functions which will react with acid gases. It is also envisaged that polar interactions and hydrogen bonds develop between the carboxylic and acid gases. As regards the acid gases, deodorization of the acid gas, e.g., acetic acid, is obtained by salification, by entrapping the acid gas in the form of a non-volatile metal carboxylate (e.g., by creating (CH 3 COO ~ , M + ) wherein M +is a metal salt with respect to acetic acid).

Detailed description of embodiments
I- Preparation of extrudable-spinnable composition according to the invention
An extrudable-spinnable composition according to the invention in the form of granules is prepared by mixing the polyester (thermoplastic) in granule form with first and second copolymers (A, B) according to the invention also in the form of granules. The pellet mixture was fed to an extruder feed hopper comprising two feed screws of the material that are co-rotating, at a rate of about 50 g / min. The components are thus in the extruder where they are melted, mixed and dispersed. This step is a reactive extrusion step because the carboxylic acid functions (COOH) in the polyester chain ends react with the oxirane groups, especially glycidyl, of the second polymer (B). The output material from the extruder forms a ring of about 3 mm diameter which is immediately cooled with cold water or at room temperature. The rod is then fed into a pelletizer device which drives the ring formed at a constant speed and forms granules by cutting the rod. The extruder comprises at least five distinct zones of their heating temperatures: a first zone of feed of the starting components at room temperature therefore in solid form, in this example in the form of granules; a second zone of fusion, in which the starting components store heat and begin to melt, a third zone corresponding to a first kneading in which the starting materials are sheared and out completely melted to said third region; a fourth zone corresponding to a second-kneading in which the starting materials are dispersed, a fifth zone corresponding to the end of the twin-screw wherein the mixed starting components and dispersed are extruded through an extrusion die, comprising in this specific example a single orifice to form a ring. One of the two feed screws and comprises a not reverse at least in the fifth step the area of the other zones in order to disperse the starting components in the molten state. The extruder is heated from both sides of each area thus represents six independent separate heating stages. The twin-screw is in this specific example a screw Rheomex PTW 16/25 OS coupled with a motor Rheodrive 7 OS - 3 * 400V marketed by ThermoScientificHaake. a fifth zone corresponding to the end of the twin-screw wherein mixed and dispersed starting materials are extruded through an extrusion die, comprising in this specific example a single orifice to form a ring.

Beforehand, the granulated polyester were heated at 90 ° C for 16 hours in order to minimize the moisture content and thus possibly the subsequent hydrolysis of the polyester chains.
The initial parameters of the extruder are as follows: the torque is 65 Nm, the speed of rotation of the screw was 450 revolutions / min, the feeding speed of the screw at the first zone is 12 %, the pressure in the die was 5.7 bar, the temperature of the material is of the order of 260 ° C and the die temperature is around 245 ° C. The six temperature levels are respectively in the order from the first region to the sixth zone: 165 ° C, 274 ° C, 274 ° C, 270 ° C, 260 ° C and 255 ° C.
The first copolymer A is a copolymer of ethylene and methyl acrylate having a proportion of methyl acrylate, about 29 wt%, a melt index (190 ° C / 2.16 Kg) of the order of 2 -3.5 g / 10min (ISO 1133 - February 1, 2012 / ASTMD1238 - August 2013); a melting point of 61 ° C (ISO 11357 - March 3, 2013); average molecular weight Mw of 105 213 g / mol and average molecular weight Mn is 16 322 g / mol, a Vicat softening point less than 40 ° C (ISO 306 January 2014 / ASTMD 1525, 2017 2009), and a breaking elongation of 900% (ISO 527-2 April 2012 / ASTM D638 2014).
The second copolymer B is a terpolymer of ethylene, methyl acrylate and glycidyl methacrylate having a proportion of methyl acrylate in the range of 24 mass%, a proportion by mass of glycidyl methacrylate in order 8% by weight, a melt index (190 ° C / 2.16 Kg) of about 6 g / 10min (ISO 1133 - February 1, 2012 / ASTMD1238 - August 2013); a melting point of 65 ° C (ISO 11357 - March 3, 2013); average molecular weight Mw of 103 499 g / mol and the mean molar mass Mn is 16,491 g / mol, a point
Vicat softening below 40 ° C (ISO 306 January 2014/15252017 or ASTM D 2009), and a break of 1100% elongation (ISO 527-2 April 2012 / ASTM D638 2014).
The polyester is selected as extrudable-spinnable grade, for example those sold by Invista under the reference RT20 or by Dupont de Nemours. The first polymer (A) and the second polymer (B) can be found from Dupont de Nemours in the range Elvaloy or Arkema in the range of Lotader and Lotryl.
Table 1 below gives the weight ratios of the various starting components with respect to the total mass of the compositions were extruded and then pelletized.

The MFI values reported in Table 1 are measured for the compositions (tests 1-9) and the only polyester (PET) for the test 10 (preferably Flox Melt index or melt flow index is measured according to either the one of the ISO 1133 standards - February 1, 2012 and ASTM D 1238 - August 2013, to 270 ° C under a weight of 2.16 kg).

Table 2 above shows the theoretical molar amounts of these acrylates functions with respect to the mass of the first and second polymers (A) and (B), acrylates functions here being supported in these examples by the first and second polymers (A ) and B). It is noted that the greater the amount of second copolymer B increases, the pressure in the extrusion die increases compared with the setpoint of 5.7 bar and the temperature T5 in the extrusion die increases. A non-exhaustive explanation of this phenomenon is that the glycidyl functions of the second copolymer B react with carboxylic acid functional groups in the polyester chain ends which would increase the viscosity of the extruded material, and thus the friction and shear in the latter and, correspondingly, the pressure and temperature at the die. This grafting reaction is illustrated in Figure 4.
II- spinning compositions pelletized to I
Tests 1 to 4 in Table 3 below match
test compositions 1-4 defined in Table 1. These compositions were extruded and spun using a single-screw extruder comprising an extrusion die having a plurality of spinning orifices and a set of filters. Means for drawing and spinning are arranged at the outlet of the extrusion die, and in particular comprises a nozzle sending an air jet to entangle the filaments. The son thus formed are multifilament son comprising 48 filaments. The filaments are cooled using a cold air stream. Outputting steps of spinning and drawing, the son are sized, in particular with a sizing agent (such as that sold under the reference Fasavin KB 88) up to 10% by weight based on the total weight of said wire .
Table 3
Table 3 lists the titles and tenacity that were measured on different son obtained by stretching techniques implemented.
Son obtained structure was also characterized by analyzing filament cuts the scanning electron microscope. nodule formation is thus observed first copolymer comprising
A disposed in a pouch of which the "shell" is formed of the second copolymer B, the second copolymer B thus acting as coupling agent with the polyester matrix.
Step III saponification and acidification step
A yarn comprising 48 filaments 150 deniers according to Test 4 defined in Table 3 DTY is knit (jersey weave). The basis weight of the knitted fabric is 31 g / m 2 . Samples of 6cm * 6cm were prepared and immersed for 45 minutes in a bath comprising 5g / l of sodium hydroxide at 85-90 ° C. A pH-metric assay was used to measure a caustic soda consumption of 50 +/- 10 meq / Kg fabric (by measuring the concentration of sodium hydroxide in the bath after the saponification step). The mass loss of knitting after saponification is about 1.8%. The amount in meq of acrylate functions and thus is saponifiable 168.5 mmol per kg of tested knitting. Thus, the measured soda consumption leads to the conclusion that approximately 30% of acrylates functions were saponified in the form of carboxylate functions.
Knits saponified then undergo an acidification step in which the samples are immersed in a bath of sulfuric acid solution 0.02 mol / L (0.04 mol / L = [H + ]) for 45 minutes, the bath being at room temperature. A pH-metric assay was used to measure an average acid consumption of 15 +/- 5 mmol H + / kg of knitting. This acid consumption is about 30% soda 50meq consumed in the saponification step per kg of knitting.
IV Measurement of absorption of an acid gas
These levels are measured according to ISO 17299-3: 2014 dated March 2014 entitled "Textiles - Determination of odor neutralizing properties - Part 3: Method by gas chromatography." Computing the rate of reduction mentioned in point 8 of said standard and corresponding to the difference of the average surface of the spectrum FID (hydrogen flame ionization detection) of the test gas without the textile element (Sb) minus the mean surface of the FID peak gas test with the textile element (Sm), this difference being attached to the surface Sb and then multiplied by 100. Thus, negative values or zero indicates that there was no reduction in the target gas. The target gas used in the measurements reported hereinafter is acetic acid.
Note that ISO 17299-3: 2014 dated March 2014 referred to above provides for a wash before performing the absorption measurements of the target gas.
Knitted fabrics described above with reference to section III and only saponified are acetic acid absorption values of 73% +/- 4%.
For comparison, the absorbance value of a standard knitting comprising exclusively of the polyester is less than 40%.
Knitted fabrics described above with reference to paragraph III, having undergone saponification step, and an acidification step, have absorption values in acetic acid of 88% +/- 2%. The acidification step therefore improves the absorption properties as acetic acid.
The inventors have found in "sniff internal tests" that the performance of the synthetic textile article on the bad odors are perceived olfactory user from a gas absorption value of at least 50%, and the latter still increasing very significantly from 80%.
In acid gas absorption mechanisms, in this example acetic acid, are linked to acid-base reactions with carboxylic and carboxylate functions supported by the filaments. In particular, the reaction between a carboxylate and acetic acid generates a metal carboxylate (CH 3 COONa) nonvolatile which would explain the reduction of perceived odors. This would provide a deodorizing gas by salt formation.
Given the significant performance achieved in terms of reducing the perceived odor, it is also envisaged that polar interactions and hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic and acetic acid are held to explain this important phenomenon absorption in acetic acid . Re-initialization of textile articles can be achieved by rinsing with running water (e.g., in a domestic washing) or drying the textile article which moves the acid-base balance and evaporate the acid gas. The son of the invention and implemented in knitted samples tested and are fully-spinnable in the extrudable composition of the invention. Nevertheless, in the context of the present invention, only the surface of the wire comes into contact with the odoriferous molecules so that for reasons of economy, it may be envisaged to have the polyester-based functional matrix comprising polymers A and B only on the surface of son by performing son the heart-coat type, the coat comprising the functional matrix absorbing gas. In this case, the extrudable-spinnable composition according to the invention is coextruded with another polymeric composition so as to form a first polymeric structure consisting of said matrix (thus forming the coat for example) parallel to a second polymeric structure consisting of the second polymeric composition co-extruded (e.g. constituted more than 95% by weight of polyester). economy, it is conceivable to dispose the matrix functional polyester base comprising polymers A and B only on the surface of son son by making the heart-coat type, the coat comprising the functional matrix absorbing gas. In this case, the extrudable-spinnable composition according to the invention is coextruded with another polymeric composition so as to form a first polymeric structure consisting of said matrix (thus forming the coat for example) parallel to a second polymeric structure consisting of the second polymeric composition co-extruded (e.g. constituted more than 95% by weight of polyester). economy, it is conceivable to dispose the matrix functional polyester base comprising polymers A and B only on the surface of son son by making the heart-coat type, the coat comprising the functional matrix absorbing gas. In this case, the extrudable-spinnable composition according to the invention is coextruded with another polymeric composition so as to form a first polymeric structure consisting of said matrix (thus forming the coat for example) parallel to a second polymeric structure consisting of the second polymeric composition co-extruded (e.g. constituted more than 95% by weight of polyester). it may be envisaged to have the functional matrix polyester base comprising polymers A and B only on the surface of son son by making the heart-coat type, the coat comprising the functional matrix absorbing gas. In this case, the extrudable-spinnable composition according to the invention is coextruded with another polymeric composition so as to form a first polymeric structure consisting of said matrix (thus forming the coat for example) parallel to a second polymeric structure consisting of the second polymeric composition co-extruded (e.g. constituted more than 95% by weight of polyester). it may be envisaged to have the functional matrix polyester base comprising polymers A and B only on the surface of son son by making the heart-coat type, the coat comprising the functional matrix absorbing gas.
