Abstract:

Objective The textile industry generates a large amount of textile waste every year, which seriously pollutes the environment, and its overreliance on petroleum-based fibers, which are difficult to biodegrade, limits the sustainable development of the textile industry. Therefore, the development of durable and high-performance fibers with a circular economy effect is of great significance for the sustainable development of the textile industry.

Method In this research, collagen-based composite fibers with excellent mechanical properties were successfully prepared by blending collagen with biodegradable poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) co-spinning, combined with the introduction of metal-polyphenol network (MPN) to construct a metal-ligand-hydrogen-bonded double crosslinked network.

Results The results showed that when the n(TA)∶n(Al3+) molar ratio was 3∶1, the MPN assembly reduced the zeta potential from -2.83 mV to -38.58 mV, and the system stability was optimal. Infrared spectroscopy analysis indicated that the incorporation of MPN effectively cross-linked collagen with poly(vinyl alcohol) through the synergistic effect of metal-ligand bonding and hydrogen bonding. X-ray diffraction and small angle X-ray scattering/wide-angle X-ray scattering analyses showed that the MPN introduction improved the crystallinity and orientation of the composite fibers. When the MPN addition was 6%, the tensile strength of the composite fibers reached 243 MPa, and the protein retention rate was doubled.

Conclusion Co-spinning of collagen with biodegradable PVA and the simultaneous introduction of metal-polyphenol network for the preparation of composite fibers can significantly improve the mechanical properties and protein retention rate of collagen-based composite fibers, which opens up a new way for the high-value utilisation of tannery waste and the sustainable development of the textile industry.
