Composite draw textured yarns(DTY) and air jet textured yarns(ATY) with hollow PET filament have been used for making high emotional fabrics including light weight sports wear garments. This study investigated effect of hollow composite yarns and fabric structural parameters to the comfort properties related to the moisture and thermal transport phenomena for the composite fabrics made of DTY and ATY with hollow PET filament. Wicking property of hollow composite fabric was superior at the high pore size fabric and was not influenced by fabric cover factor. Wicking property of the fabric with ATY was better than that of the fabric with DTY. On the other hand, drying rate of fine pore sized fabric was shorter than that of large pore sized fabric and drying rate of high multi yarn fabric with low cover factor and small pore size was superior than that of hollow composite fabric. The pore size of the fabric was dominant factor in the air permeability and thermal conductivity of hollow composite fabric. High pore sized fabric showed high air permeability and thermal conductivity of hollow composite fabric was nonlinearly inversely proportional to pore size of the fabric.

초고분자량 폴리에틸렌(UHMWPE)섬유는 현재까지 알려져 있는 섬유중 비강도가 가장 우수하며 강도 또한 최고 40g/d를 나타내는 슈퍼섬유중에 하나이다. UHMWPE섬유는 비교적 간단한 분자구조로 이루어져 있으며 높은 결정화도로 인해 광 안정성 및 자외선 저항성이 우수하며 내마모성도 뛰어나다. 이러한 특성으로 인해 최근 로프 및 어망 등의 산업적 용도 뿐만 아니라 익스트림 스포츠웨어를 포함한 의류소재에도 다양하게 적용되고 있다. 하지만 의류소재 적용에 앞서 초소수성으로 이루어진 분자구조와 낮은 내열성으로 인해 염색이 쉽지 않으며 다양한 색상을 구현하기가 힘든 실정이다. 현재 본 연구실에서는 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 UHMWPE섬유에 염색이 가능한 염료를 개발하였으며 보다 다양한 색상을 구현하기 위해 연구를 진행 중이다. 현재 본 연구실에서는 UHMWPE섬유 염색에 있어 Blue, Red, Yellow, Magenta 계열의 색상구현이 가능하며 보다 심색화 된 색상을 구현함으로 인해 의류용 섬유소재 및 산업용 섬유소재에 다양하게 적용할 수 있도록 UHMWPE섬유용 염료합성 실험이 진행되고 있다. 안트라퀴논 및 아조계 염료에 초소수성 알킬체인을 치환함으로써 염료의 소수성을 증가시켜 초소수성 섬유인 UHMWPE섬유에 염착성을 증가시키고 높은 견뢰도 결과를 확보하였다. 또한 내열성이 낮은 특성에도 불구하고 염색 이후 UHMWPE섬유가 가지는 물성에는 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았다.

The purpose of this study is to classify customer experience components using Bernd H. Schmitt's Strategic Experiential Modules and explore the relevance between fashion lifestyle and customer experience components. A survey was conducted on 400 adults between the ages of 20s to 50s who had experience in sportswear stores. The results obtained are as follows. First, according to fashion lifestyle, the respondents were divided into an individuality-valued pragmatic group, a trend-oriented brand-seeking group, a fashion-interested group, and a conservative pragmatic group. Second, customer experience components were divided into sensory experience, emotional experience, cognitive experience, behavioral experience, and relational experience. Third, on analyzing the relationship between customer experience and fashion lifestyle, it was found that a fashion-interested group has the highest value in all experiences; therefore, it can be considered that the higher the interest in fashion, the more important is the customer experience. On the other hand, the conservative pragmatic group represented generally smaller values than the other three groups in all customer experiences. Fourth, there were significant differences in the customer experience components that were considered to be important depending on the fashion lifestyle type. An individuality-valued pragmatic group valued cognitive experiences, a fashion-interested group valued all experiences, and a conservative pragmatic group showed low scores in all customer experiences. The results of this study will allow companies to build more customer-friendly experiences and enable consumers to engage in satisfactory purchasing activities through better customer experiences.

This study explored the relationship between Generation MZ female consumers' participation in sports activity, consumption of body-exposing sportswear, body-esteem, and appearance management behavior. In-depth interviews were conducted with twenty Generation MZ female consumers who regularly participate in sports activity and consume body-exposing sportswear. Based on transcriptions of in-depth interviews conducted with research subjects, the researcher and two assistant researchers collectively categorized and compared common characteristics found in their responses, categorized according to themes using units of words/terms and paragraphs. The main finding were as follows. Firstly, Generation MZ female consumers participated in various sports activities for an average of approximately one hour, three times per week. The effects of such participation were improvements in physical and psychological health. Secondly, Generation MZ female consumers considered aesthetical, functional, and economical factors when they consumed body-exposing sportswear, regardless of the activity in which they participated. This sportswear served to increase the efficiency of exercise and also played a motivational role. Thirdly, the overall body-esteem of Generation MZ female consumers who participated in sports activity regularly and consumed body-exposing sportswear was high. Fourthly, Generation MZ female consumers who regularly participated in sports activity and consumed body-exposing sportswear were practicing active appearance management behavior in order to show how their body had been shaped by sports activity. In addition, they were pursuing four self-images: "polished image pursue", "self-care image pursue", "natural image pursue", and "trustworthy image pursue".

The objective of this study was to develop clothing-type wearable motion sensing and feedback systems to enhance children's sports by promoting visual and audio feedback. In this study, several applications, such as fabric sensors, sportswear integrated with various types of fabric sensors, and fabric-based motion sensing module design, as well as a visual and audio feedback system for gaining a better understanding of a child's interest in a type of exercise, were developed. An SWCNT-based stretchable fabric sensor was developed for motion sensing, and sportswear was designed using the fabric sensor that was integrated into the limbs of the garment. The sensing module was developed, and sensory performance was evaluated through a joint motion experiment for children. In addition, using the feedback system that was developed in the form of an accessory, the responses of light and sound were also examined based on the movement of the child who was wearing the sportswear prototypes. This study focused on the development and assessment of prototype designs for children's sportswear and accessory products that can help to ascertain a child's interest in a particular exercise.

탄소 섬유란 높은 강도, 높은 탄성률 등을 갖고 잇는 소재로서, 복합 재료에 이용되고 있다. 최근에는 스포츠 용품에 대해서도 장식성이 필요한 시대가 되어서 탄소 섬유도 착색할 필요가 있게 되었다. 일반 의류용 섬유를 염색할 때 염료가 섬유를 구성하는 분자에 단분자상으로 흡착한다. 섬유란 사실상 투명하기 때문에 빛이 섬유 내부에 흡착된 염료까지 도달하고, 염료는 빛을 흡수하여 발색한다. 그러나 탄소 섬유의 색은 검고, 빛이 섬유 내부까지 미치지 못하기 때문에 만약 탄소 섬유에 염료를 흡착시키더라도 염료는 발색하지 않게 된다. 한편 검은 탄소 섬유를 표백해서 백색으로 만들기 위해 예를 들어 불소와 반응시키면 검은 탄소 섬유가 백색이 되기는 하지만, 이 불소와 반응한 탄소섬유는 대단히 부서지기 쉬워서, 섬유로 사용할 수 없게 된다. 따라서 탄소섬유는 검은 색 그대로 착색시키지 않으면 안된다. 즉 탄소 섬유는 섬유의 표면에 도료와 같은 색소 층을 붙여서 착색하게 된다.

폴리프로필렌(PP)은 고결정성 범용수지로서 염색성, 내열성, 촉감 등의 문제로 의류용 소재로는 부적합하여 초기에는 카펫용 섬유로서 가염형 폴리프로필렌 섬유가 상업화 되었지만 성공하지는 못하였다. 그 후, 섬유 산업도 의류용 외의 산업자재, 생활 자재 분야 등이 성장함에 따라, 폴리프로필렌 섬유의 수요가 확대되었다. 최근들어 스포츠 액티브 의류가 일반의류 트렌드로 들어오면서 기능성 섬유가 요구되고 이 분위기에 맞춰 다시 한번 폴리프로필렌 섬유의 의류화가 요구되는 시점이 되었으며 섬유중 에너지 소비량이 가장 적고, 쉽게 재용해할 수 있으며 소각시 유해 가스발생량이 매우 적은 특징등이 있기 때문에 지구 환경보호의 입장에서 폴리프로필렌 섬유가 재검토되고 있다. 이번 실험은 분산염료를 이용하여 농도별, 온도별, 시간별, 후처리시 시간과 온도의 변화로 가염 PP/PET 섬유의 염색특성을 알아보기 위해 실험 진행하였다. 실험에 사용되는 시약은 1급으로, $CH_3COOH$, NaOH, $Na_2S_2O_4$이며, 조제는 분산제, 정련제를 사용하였다. 먼저 온도별 실험에서 $40^{\circ}C$에서 승온하여 각각 $100^{\circ}C$, $110^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$, $130^{\circ}C$에서 온도에 따라 염색되는 정도를 알아보았다. 가장 높은 흡진을 보이는 온도에서 각각 40min, 50min, 60min, 70min 염색 유지시간 실험을 하여 염색이 안정되는 시간을 측정하였다. 위의 실험 결과 최적의 조건으로 염색농도에 따른 Build up 실험을 진행하였다. 가염 PP/PET 섬유는 일반 Polyester처럼 $120{\sim}130^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 염색농도 값(K/S)을 보인다. 또한 $130^{\circ}C$에서의 유지시간에서는 50 min 이상 진행시 더 이상의 흡진이 없거나, 염료의 탈락이 있음을 알수 있다. Build up 실험에서는 8.0%까지 실험하였지만, 결과는 그 이상농도를 사용하여도 염색은 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 후처리에 대한 실험에서 염료에 따라 차이가 있지만 크게 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 보이며, 제품성 평가 결과를 보면 후처리를 했을 경우 견뢰도가 우수한 것을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to propose a product planning and design direction for smart fitness wear that will improve the impact of personal training based on researching the requirements of smart fitness wear and its acceptance level, as well as the functional demand. The study conducted in-depth interviews with professional fitness trainers and derived five categories and thirteen keywords by analyzing the categorical data analysis using the interview data. In addition, we surveyed general consumers to measure the acceptance level of smart fitness wear and the functional demand for product development. The results revealed that the difference in the acceptance level of smart fitness wear generally depended on the characteristics related to exercise involvement and exercise-related culture rather than on the demographic characteristics. With regard to the difference in the functional demand of smart fitness wear, the results showed that professional trainers focused on the scientific improvement of the effect of exercise while general consumers focused on the function that considers the sustainability of exercise. Based on the results, we proposed product planning and design directions such as 'mounting of heart rate sensing, muscle activity sensing, motion angle or posture sensing, and motion sensing', 'development of concepts and contents for expert line, ordinary line', 'compression wear design', and 'differentiation of product development according to exercise areas'.
