In this paper, a comfort evaluation system based on a product-focused process design (PFPD) has been proposed for high comforts interior seat covers. Correlations between comforts properties and physical/thermal properties of interior seat covers were examined by combining traditional regression analysis and data mining techniques. A skin sensorial comfort of leather samples was evaluated by only human tactile sensation. The adjectives of leather car seat covers are 'Soft', 'Sticky' and 'Elastic'. Thermo-physiological comfort properties of leather samples were evaluated by only human tactile sensation. The adjectives of leather car seat covers are 'Coolness to the touch' and 'Thermal and humid'. Skin sensorial comforts of cloth samples were evaluated by only human tactile sensation. The adjectives of cloth car seat covers are 'Soft', 'Smooth', 'Voluminous' and 'Elastic'. Thermo-physiological comforts of cloth samples were evaluated by only human tactile sensation. The adjectives of cloth car seat covers are 'Coolness to the touch' and 'Thermal and humid'.

Moisture transfer characteristics of high emotional garments are important to evaluate wear comfort. Wicking and drying measurement methods are also critical for perspiration absorption and quick dry fabric made of high functional fibers. In this study, the wicking and drying properties of high emotional fabrics made from hybrid composite yarns using CoolMax, Tencel, Bamboo staple fibers and PP. PET CoolMax filaments were also measured and analyzed according to various measuring methods. The wicking property of hybrid composite yarn fabrics by Bireck method was mostly influenced by the structure of hybrid yarns than the absorption rate of constituent fibers; however, both the hygroscopicity of fibers and the composite yarn structure affected the wicking property of the fabrics in the drop method. Concerning drying properties, the KSK 0815B method measuring distilled moisture weight was more relevant to explain the drying characteristics of hybrid yarn fabrics than the KSK 0815A method measuring the time to drying. This study revealed that the drying properties of hybrid yarn fabrics were influenced by the hygroscopicity of constituent fibers, wicking properties of constituent yarns and structure of composite yarns.

The evolution of spinning technology was focused on improving productivity with good quality of yarns. More detail spinning technology according to mixing of various kinds of fibre materials on the air vortex spinning system is required for obtaining good quality yarns. This paper investigated the physical properties of air vortex yarns compared with ring and compact yarns using PTT/tencel/cotton fibres. It was observed that unevenness of air vortex yarns was higher than those of ring and compact yarns, which resulted in low tenacity and breaking strain of air vortex yarns. Initial modulus of air vortex yarns was higher than those of ring and compact yarns. Yarn imperfections of air vortex yarns such as thin, thick and nep were much more than those of ring and compact yarns. These poor yarn qualities of air vortex yarn were attributed to the fasciated yarn structure with parallel fibres in the core part of the air vortex yarn. However, yarn hairiness of air vortex yarns was less and shorter than those of ring and compact yarns. Thermal shrinkage of air vortex yarns were higher than that of ring yarns, which was caused by sensible thermal shrinkage of PTT fibres on the bulky yarn surface and core part of air vortex yarns.

The wearing comfort of garment is governed by two kinds of characteristics such as moisture and thermal transport properties and mechanical properties of fabrics. The porosity influenced by yarn and fabric structural parameters is known as main factor for wearing comfort of garment related to the moisture and thermal transport properties. This study investigated effect of porosity of composite yarns to the moisture and thermal comfort properties of composite fabrics made of hollow composite DTY and ATY yarns. The theoretical porosity and pore size were inversely proportional to cover factor of fabric, but cover factor was not correlated with experimental pore size. The wicking property of hydrophobic PET filament fabric showed inferior result irrespective of porosity, pore size and cover factor. The drying rate was superior at composite fabrics with high pore size and low cover factor, and pore size was dominant factor for drying property. On the other hand, thermal conductivity of composite fabric was mainly influenced by cover factor and not influenced by porosity. Air permeability was influenced by both porosity and cover factor and was highly increased with increasing porosity and decreasing fabric cover factor.

This research investigated the physical properties of PET coolness filaments and their knitted fabrics including dyeing characteristics of these knitted fabrics according to the different dyeing time and temperature. The coolness filament(S) with non-circular cross-section and hydrophilic property was spun and another commercialized coolness(A) and regular(R) PET filaments were prepared for comparing coolness and another physical properties. Qmax of coolness knitted fabric made with S filament was higher than that of R-PET filament, and the maximum value of Qmax of S knitted fabric was shown at the dyeing conditions of temperature, $110^{\circ}C$ with 30 min. or 40min. It was shown that hand of S knitted fabric was a little harsh comparing to A and regular knit specimens, but shape retention and wearing performance of garment made with S knit specimen were estimated as good owing to high bending and shear rigidity. K/S of S knitted fabric was higher than those of regular PET and A knit specimens. Dyeing fastness of coolness knitted fabric showed between 4th and 5th grade.

To manufacture hightech easycare wool, there are several methods which use strong oxidising agent or the resin treatment, however, neither are environmentally friendly methods. Moreover it may deteriorate the handle. The aim of this study is to manufacture the hightech easycare wool using the modified Fenton method which can be formed by hydrogen peroxide and ferric sulfate and enzyme treatment. The method was pretreated by ferric sulfate on the wool surface and then the surface of wool scale was selectively removed by ferric ion catalyst. Subsequently the Enchiron which is one of the proteolytic enzymes was treated on the wool surface. The treated wool had the result of having optimum weight loss and excellent whiteness and good handle. Therefore implications of these results suggest that this method using the modified Fenton method and enzyme treatment may be one way of manufacturing the hightech easycare wool.

개인적 삶의 질 향상과 함께 사회적인 삶의 가치를 추구하여 인체친화적이며 동시에 환경 친화적인 제품 소비에 가치를 두는 LOHAS 트렌드의 영향으로 의류 제품에서는 소비자의 요구 수준에 맞춘 고급화, 고기능화된 의류 상품 및 소재 중심의 소비와 함께 친환경 소재, 리사이클 소재 등에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 최근 Ramie 복합 소재는 이러한 트렌드에 적합한 대표적인 소재로서 고감성/웰빙 신섬유 제품 개발을 통해 신시장 개척이 가능한 아이템으로 주목받고 있다. 한편, Ramie는 땀에 대한 흡습성과 속건성이 우수하고 청량감이 있어 주로 여름 소재로 활용되어 왔으나 촉감이 좋지 못하고 광택성이 떨어지는 단점이 있어 이를 보완하기 위해 촉감이 좋고 광택성이 뛰어난 레이온 계열의 소재와 혼방하여 고급스럽고 환경 친화적인 의류소재로써 개발이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 레이온계 섬유 중에서 상품성이 modal 섬유 Tencel 섬유를 각각 혼방한 Ramie/Modal(28's,30's), Ramie/Tencel(28's) 복합소재의 반응성 염료에 대한 염색특성을 비교 고찰해 보았다. 실험은 Heterobifunctional type 반응성 염료 3종(Red, Yellow, Blue)을 이용하여 흡진 거동, 빌드업 특성, 겉보기 색상농도 등을 비교하였으며 1/1 standard 농도에서의 제반 견뢰도를 비교 평가하였다.

신규 차종의 개발시 차량의 exterior/interior의 design concept은 운전석주변의 driving package layout을 어떻게 구성하느냐에 따라 좌우되는 경향이 있다. 그것은 user가 그 차량의 선악의 판단함에 있어서 운전석 주변의 design 및 상품성이 큰 요인으로 작용하여 운전석 주변의 부품과 인간과의 적절한 조화를 이루어야 차량의 concept와 일치하는 최적의 design으로 user의 감성을 얻을 수 있는 것이다. 따라서 본 고에서는 신규 차종의 초기 개발 단계에서 최적의 design 및 상품성을 얻기 위한 보다 효과적인 driving package layout을 설정하기 위해 1차적 3차원 인체모형(3DM, 3-Dimensional Manikin)을 구성하고자 한다. 3DM은 human engineering에 의한 인체 치수와 각 관절의 운동방향 및 범위를 이용하여 인체의 동적 해석을 model을 도상 구현하고 이러한 3DM을 활용하여 조작성, 편의성 등의 package layout을 가시화 해 보고자 한다.

LED는 빛을 내는 반도체이다. LED는 백열전등에 비하여 전기 절감 효과가 높고, 형광 등에 비하여 수은을 사용하지 않아 친환경적이기 때문에 녹색성장의 대표주자 중 하나이다. 메모리 반도체와 전자통신 기기가 융합하여 지난 20년간 발전하여 왔듯이, 앞으로는 LED와 전자통신이 융합하여 새로운 형태의 융합 기술이 발전할 것이다. 현재 예상 가능한 LED 전자통신 융합 기술은 LED 조명과 동시에 통신을 할 수 있는 가시광 무선통신 기술과 감성 및 전기 절감을 실현할 수 있는 LED 조명 모듈간 유선 네트워킹 기술이다. 본 고에서는 LED 조명과 녹색성장이 연계된 배경, 가시광 무선통신의 국내 및 국제 표준 동향, LED 조명 네트워킹 기술을 설명한다. LED 융합 기술에 의하여 인간중심의 편리 시설을 제공하면서도 전기 절감 및 저탄소를 실현할 수 있다.
