Preparation and Performance of Sericin Protein/Recycled Polyester Composite Fibrid
Regenerated polyester staple fiber was prepared by precipitation method.The effects of the amount of sericin and the shear rate on the morphology,crystallinity,hydrophilicity and moisture regain of the fibrid were studied.The results showed that sericin/regenerated polyester staple fibrid could be prepared by the method.The fibrid was ribbon shaped,flexible,light and thin.Adding Sericin and increasing the shear speed can effectively improve the hydrophilicity and moisture regain of the fibrid.When the addition amount of sericin is 15%and the shear speed is 9000 r/min,the water contact angle of the fibrid is 45.2 °,and the moisture regain is 3.47%,showing excellent and durable moisture absorption performance.
