Beautiful silk can also block radiation “invisible killer”

Beautiful silk can also block radiation “invisible killer”

With the extensive use of computers, mobile phones, air conditioners and other electrical equipment, a new source of pollution – electromagnetic radiation It attacks people quietly and has a huge impact on the life and production activities of human society. Electromagnetic radiation pollution is significantly different from air pollution, water pollution and waste pollution. It is colorless, odorless and invisible. It is a pollution phenomenon that cannot be sensed by the senses. It is known as the “invisible killer” and has become a major problem affecting the public today. Serious problems affecting health and ecological environment. Therefore, it is urgent to study fabrics with radiation protection functions.

The “Research and Industrialization of Silk Anti-Electromagnetic Radiation Products Processing Technology” project completed by Wujiang Dingsheng Silk Co., Ltd. won the third prize of the 2013 “Textile Light” Science and Technology Award. The project uses real silk and silver fibers. Through innovative fabric structure design, process optimization control and equipment improvement, it solves technical problems such as large differences in raw material stretchability, uneven tension, easy oxidation of silver fibers, and easy damage to fiber surface coatings during the production process. The development of silk anti-electromagnetic radiation products not only makes silk fabrics have good radiation protection properties, but also improves the company’s core silk deep processing technology and technological innovation capabilities.

Taking into account both comfort and functionality

Research shows that the human body is interfered by electromagnetic waves, which changes the original electric field of molecules in the body’s tissues, leading to disorder of the body’s ecological balance. Therefore, the development of new high-tech materials with anti-electromagnetic radiation functions will have significant economic and social benefits for improving the health of our people and enhancing national strength. However, although the current radiation-proof fabrics, such as composite metal-plated fabrics, alloy-plated fabrics and chemical tin-plated fabrics, have the advantage of good shielding effect, such radiation-proof clothing is not breathable, cannot be bent repeatedly, is not resistant to washing, and is close-fitting. Wearing clothes made of this kind of fabric will not only make your skin feel itchy, but may also easily cause side effects such as skin allergies.

According to Wu Jianhua, chairman of Wujiang Dingsheng Silk Co., Ltd., the project leader: “Silk anti-electromagnetic radiation products not only have excellent radiation protection function, but the silk fabric is smooth and soft, and can produce a subtle massage effect on the skin.” As a protein fiber, silk contains a variety of amino acids and has good affinity with the skin. In addition, the silk fiber is fine and has a smooth and soft surface. Therefore, when it comes into contact with the skin during wearing, it will have good breathability, hygroscopicity and radiation resistance. There is a sense of comfort due to moisture and slight friction. At the same time, the threonine and serine contained in silk can improve blood circulation, enhance the vitality of epidermal cells, and prevent skin aging.

In addition, the fabric made of mulberry silk and silver fiber interwoven through a special process, in addition to their own excellent properties, also enhance each other. On the one hand, compared with chemical fiber fibers, silk fiber has good antistatic properties and will not cause static attraction or any tingling sensation due to friction during wearing; on the other hand, the anti-wrinkle properties of silver fiber give the fabric a memory function , will not wrinkle, and overcomes the shortcomings of traditional mulberry silk fabrics.

Innovative technology and design

Wu Jianhua introduced that the innovation of this project is reflected in two aspects: functional innovation and design innovation. The fabric is interwoven with silk and silver fibers. It not only has radiation protection function, but also has antibacterial, anti-mildew, anti-mite and other health functions. It is smooth and soft, has good breathability and excellent skin-friendliness. This type of product is popular internationally. This is the first time.

In terms of design, we independently designed a double-layer joint, which makes the surface of the fabric have a bag-like bubble feeling, yarn-dyed heavy warp, single-layer houndstooth and other patterns, and uses the thickness and elasticity changes of the raw materials in a single layer to create a pattern on the surface. Embossed feeling, this allows different radiation-proof silk silver fabrics to have their own characteristics and can be used for different types of products.

Since the project uses “Fiber Queen” mulberry silk interwoven with silver fiber with good electromagnetic radiation resistance, the project has high technical requirements and a long research and development cycle. First of all, it is necessary to overcome the technical problems of large-scale industrial production of new nano-silver fibers so that they can meet the large-scale use of silk radiation protection products. Secondly, rationally configure the warp and weft density when interweaving mulberry silk and nano-silver fibers, as well as product specifications and process routes that can be smoothly weaved. Then, in order to enrich the product range, it is necessary to overcome the shortcomings of nanosilver fibers that are easily oxidized, and study refining, dyeing, printing, and finishing technology. And establish testing methods for yarn-dyed, dyeing and printing series products of new functional fabrics such as mulberry silk silver fiber, radiation protection, antibacterial, and antimite.

Wu Jianhua said that silk anti-electromagnetic radiation products not only meet the functional requirements of anti-electromagnetic radiation, but also meet the general requirements of silk products, which are soft, skin-friendly, and prevent skin aging. At the same time, because the silver fiber is used in the raw materials, it has good anti-mildew and antibacterial functions, and is more popular among consumers.

  Create a new milestone in special silk

Faced with the complex and ever-changing international economic environment and the increasing costs of labor, raw materials, and energy, traditional, low-value-added silk products simply cannot adapt to the development of the current situation. Continuously improving the core technology of silk deep processing and technological innovation capabilities, researching, developing and producing high-quality products that meet consumer needs, and having independent brands will undoubtedly become an important driving force for the sustainable development of the cocoon and silk industry.

Wu Jianhua pointed out that the successful research and development of the project will promote the transformation and upgrading of the silk industry, break through the traditional silk fabric product process routes and style characteristics, create a new milestone in special functional silk fabrics, and serve as a good example in the industry. effect. At present, the project has achieved industrialized production and has achieved good economic benefits since it was officially put into the market in 2012, bringing profits to the company as well as vitality. In addition, this product not only provides clothing manufacturers and consumers with higher-end and novel fabrics to meet people’s growing material and cultural needs, but also promotes the rational adjustment of the industrial structure.

Silk is the accumulation of thousands of years of Chinese culture and a symbol of luxury and taste. China’s silk trade volume accounts for 80% of the trade volume. However, nowadays, China is only the main raw material production place and product processing place, and the brand, design, and marketing network are all in the hands of foreign manufacturers. Wu Jianhua and other Shengze silk industry watchdogs believe that as silk is a representative of traditional Chinese culture, the silk industry can be defined as both a textile industry and a cultural industry. The government should formulate relevant support and encouragement policies to promote silk companies to accelerate technological innovation. At the same time, as long as each company strives to improve its products and establish a reputation among consumers, it will also establish a brand. Together, it can create a national silk brand.
