Qingdao University successfully developed from the sea of ​​environmental protection clothing

From Qingdao University was informed that Qingdao University of New Materials and Modern Textile State Key Laboratory independently developed successfully based on the sea of ​​clothing. This alginate-based raw materials for the development of seaweed fiber clothing produced with flame retardant, radiation protection, antibacterial and other multiple environmental protection features, has a vast market prospects. Researchers use alginate extracted from kelp as raw material, alginate polymer high magnification tensile and solidification forming organic combination, resulting in high strength, good performance of seaweed fibers, and made the seaweed fiber in all aspects of production autonomy Intellectual property. China consumes 60 million tons of fiber each year. The production methods are derived from the natural and regenerated fibers of animals and plants such as cotton, hemp, wool and silk that occupy the land on the one hand, and synthetic fibers derived from petroleum on the other hand. With economic development and population growth, access to fiber is increasingly constrained by land and oil resources. At the same time, China is the largest kelp breeding country in the world and its seaweed chemical products are very rich. Alginate as a raw material for the development of seaweed fibers, seaweed industry for the intensive processing has opened up a vast world, but also to China's access to fiber fields extended from the land to the sea. It is understood that seaweed fiber fabric in high-grade health care clothing, children's toys and fire prevention, medical care, environmental protection and other fields will have broad application prospects.
