Chemical Treatment and Manufacture by Silk Compound Yarn of Kayagum Strings

Kayagum is a traditional musical instrument in Korea. Kayagum strings are usually made of raw silk. It needs good vibration and durability. This study was carried out to increase durability of the strings by chemical treatment and manufacture of silk/polyester and silk/wild silk compound yarn. In this study, we used MKW-810(water solube acrylic adhesive)and polyvinyl alcohol as a adhesive. Before the twisting, the raw silk wet on the string manufacture process. The adhesive reagent were added in this process. And compound yarn were prepated by domestic silk, polyester and wild silk(antheraea pernyi) for make of Kayagum strings, respectively. The result are as follows. 1. Tenacity and elongation of the strings are almost same between none and chemical treatment. However number of extension cycling to breaks of the strings was largely increased by chemical treatment. Number of extension cycling to breaks of the strings is very important and useful item to check durability of the strings. The stiffness of the strings were almost same between none and adhesive treatment 2. Tenacity of the silk/polyester strings is largely decreased by increasing of polyester portion, but elongation of the silk/polyester strings increased. However tenacity of the silk/polyester(mono filament) strings are higher than that of silk strings. 3. Tenacity of the domestic silk/wild silk strings is largely decreased by increasing of wild silk portion, but elongation of the domestic silk/wild silk strings is almost same among silk and domestic silk/wild silk strings.

현악기용 명주실 현의 화학가공 및 복합현의 제조

1. 가야금 줄의 내구성을 향상시키기 위하여 가야금 줄에 acrylic adhesive와 poly(vinyl alcohol)을 병용 처리한 결과 강려과 신도는 차이가 없었으나 하중 70%에서 절단할때까지의 반복회수는 화학가공처리 현이 무 처리한 현보다 48% 향상되었으므로 현의 내구성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있었으나 흡습율이 무처리 현보다 높았다. 2. 현의 내구성을 증대시키고 음량을 풍부하게 할 목적으로 생사와 polyester사의 혼합비율을 달리하면서 생사/폴리에스텔 복합현을 제조하고 물성을 조사한 결과 polyester사의 비율이 많아질수록 강력이 감소하였고 신도는 증가하여 가야금 줄로서 적당하지 않았으나 mono filament 사로서 강력이 우수한 polyester사를 사용하여 복합현을 만든 SSP 복합현의 경우 생사로 만든 현보다 강력이 우수하였다. 3. 새로운 현의 소재를 개발하기 위하여 생사(가잠사)와 작잠사와의 복합현을 제조하고 그 물성을 조사한 결과 가잠사/작잠사 복합현의 강력은 작잠사와 비율이 많아질수록 저하되었다.
