Carbon nanotube far infrared non-woven fabric and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of far infrared emission materials, in particular to a carbon nanotube far infrared non-woven fabric and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The far infrared ray is a light wave in the infrared wavelength range, the wavelength of the light wave is within the range of 3-100 μm, and the light wave is usually not perceived by people, however, the far infrared ray has a very important effect on life bodies, and after the human body absorbs the far infrared ray, the body temperature rises, the capillary vessels expand, and the blood circulation is active, so that the metabolism of the human body and the operation of the human body are enhanced. The excellent properties of far infrared rays make their applications in the fields of life sciences and bio-medical treatment increasingly widespread. At present, only a small number of devices capable of emitting far infrared rays exist, but due to the limitation of the nature of the materials used for emitting far infrared rays, the far infrared rays emitted by the devices have more clutters and low far infrared emissivity.
The carbon nano tube is a novel material as a far infrared radiation source, has good physical and chemical properties, can emit far infrared rays with a proportion of more than 90 percent, and is an ideal material for emitting the far infrared rays. At present, carbon nanotubes are generally coated on a finished film (such as a plastic film) to emit far infrared rays, the formed carbon nanotube layer and the finished film are simply laminated and compounded, and the compound position between the two materials generates large energy loss and cannot fully exert the characteristics of the materials. Therefore, the composite material obtained by the method has low far infrared emissivity, and further application of the composite material is severely restricted.
