The history of the Korean textile industry is not very long. Its growth only began from the early 1960's. Since then, its production scale and export volume have enpanded enormosly. The textile industry made a great contribution to Korea's sustained economic growth over the past three decades. While expanding rapidly, however, the Korean textile industry went through many difficulties and problems. To survive through interational competition, the textile produce were manufactured on a subcontract basis and prices were set at too low levels. Consequently the profit margins were very small. To meet international competition for the 21st century, the textile industry requires restructuring and a drastic progress has to be made in textile design and technology. To become internationally competitive, the education system for textile design must be improved. The textile schools must be equipped with better technology and facilities so that students may have a hands-on experience and acquire application skills quickly and effectively. Also students should be given an opportunity to work in the industry as an intern. In order to make all these possible, both the government and the industry must be fully supportive. Textile designing can be considered a cultural reflection. This implies that to develop the textile industry requires the elevation of the people's mind and culture. To improve textile technology and to elevate the standard of textile design, the government and the textile schools must make continued effort together.

As the incidence of environmental diseases is increasing due to harmful environmental factors, there is a rising interest in developing eco-friendly materials for housing. In this study, we sought to develop antimicrobial interior fabric blind materials by employing ethanol extract of a medicinal plant Zanthoxylum piperitum DC. As determined by the disc diffusion method, the zones of inhibition of the pericarp ethanol extract at a concentration of 5 mg/disc against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans were 13.5±1.5 mm, 14.0±0.5 mm and 15.0±0.1 mm, respectively, whereas the leaf ethanol extract (5 mg/disc) against K. pneumoniae, S. aureus, and S. mutans were 12.8± 0.3 mm, 13.5±1.0 mm, and 12.0±0.1 mm, respectively. The IC₅₀ of the leaf ethanol extract against K. pneumoniae, S. aureus and S. mutans were about 0.5 mg/ml, 0.1 mg/ml and 1.0 mg/ml respectively. To examine whether the leaf ethanol extract possessing antibacterial activity of Z. piperitum DC can be applicable to production of antimicrobial fabric blind materials, the fabrics treated with either 1.0% or 2.0% of the leaf ethanol extract were tested for antibacterial activity against K. pneumoniae and S. aureus using International Standard Fabrics Test Method. The results indicate that the fabric treated with the ethanol extract of Z. piperitum DC possesses an excellent antimicrobial activity against both pathogenic bacteria. These results suggest that Z. piperitum DC may be applicable to producing functional fabrics which are effective in reducing the harmful bacterial factors in indoor environments.

This study investigated the agglomeration process of the towel industry in the Daejeon and Chungcheong regions, which are located in the mid-western part of South Korea, focusing in particular on industrial restructuring. Moreover, it aimed to identify the spatial features of the towel industry by analyzing the subcontracting linkages and to discover the implications of such linkages on government policy. The towel industry in the Daejeon and Chungcheong regions began to grow from the end of the Korean War when textile technicians from North Korea settled down in this area, spreading their techniques and know-how within the region. Later, in the 1980s, the industry underwent restructuring when companies within the region strengthened their linkages through corporate specialization based on the concept of social division of labor. Accordingly, the industrial linkages and linkage spaces, as well as characteristics of the industry, should all be considered to develop and implement policies for the regions of the towel industry.

바닥재 자카드직물에 사용이 예상되는 LMP(low meltig polyester) 복합사는 사염 시 높은 수축율 및 열융착의 가능성 때문에 일반적인 폴리에스테르의 염색조건에서는 염색이 불가하다. 따라서 적정의 수축율 내에서 가능한 염색조건에 대해 고찰하였다. LMP 복합사는 웅진케미컬에서 생산된 Regular PET/LMP(75:25) 260d/48f 원사를 사용하였다. 수축율은 KS K 0215에 준하여 측정하였다. 염색은 E-type 및 S-type(Foron Dark Blue S-WF) 분산염료를 사용하였으며, E-type 중에서는 아조계(Lumacron Blue SERL 200%) 와 안트라퀴논계(Foron Blue E-BL 150)의 2 종류를 사용하였다. 염색된 시료는 현미경 단면사진을 이용하여 염료의 내부확산을 확인하였으며, 환원세정 전후의 K/S 값을 측정하였다. LMP원사의 수축율을 시험한 결과 $90^{\circ}C$에서 9% 정도의 수축율을 나타내어, $90^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 사염이 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 염색온도는 $80^{\circ}C$와 $90^{\circ}C$로 하였다. S-type의 염료를 이용한 경우 $90^{\circ}C$에서 4일 이상 염색해도 염착이 이루어지지 않아 대상 염료에서 제외하였다. E-type 염료인 경우 아조계는 흡진율은 높았으나 내부 regular PET에의 확산이 매우 느리고, 안트라퀴논계는 상대적으로 확산이 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 안트라퀴논계 분산염료는 $80^{\circ}C$에서 내부로의 확산에 4일 이상이 소요되며, $90^{\circ}C$에서는 2일 이상이 소요되었다. 이 후 환원세정에 의한 K/S 값의 변화 및 마찰견뢰도를 시험하였으며, 환원세정 후의 섬유단면 사진을 통해 염료의 migration성을 평가하였다.

최근, 수송기기 분야는 국제 환경규제 강화에 따른 CO2 절감, 연비향상, 경량화를 위한 기술적 수요가 증대되고 있으며, 그린카, 그린선박 등 친환경 수송기기에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만, 기존의 금속소재가 가지는 경량화의 한계를 극복하기 위해서는 CFRP, GFRP 등 금속대체 복합소재를 적용한 수송용 경량부품 개발에 대한 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 복합소재는 섬유사이에서 응력을 전달하는 기지(Matrix)와 하중을 전달하는 섬유(Fiber)의 종류와 양 및 적층 각도에 따라 수송용 부품에 적합한 기계적 특성을 얻을 수 있고, 높은 비강도와 비강성의 값을 갖게 되어 경량화가 용이한 장점이 있다. 반면, 섬유재의 종류, 성형방법, 경화온도 등에 따라 물리적 특성에 큰 변화가 발생하며, 수지의 경화조건에 따라 성형시간이 많이 소요되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 자동차, 선박, 항공기, 철도차량 등 각종 수송기기의 경량화를 목적으로 생산성 향상 및 성형시간 절감을 위해 열가소성 수지, 저온속경화 수지를 적용하여, 경화 시간을 단축시키고, 3D-fabric 및 다층구조 직물을 Vacuum Infusion 공법으로 성형하여, 기존의 섬유재 적층시 소요되는 작업 공정을 간소화 할 수 있도록, 고속성형 복합소재를 적용한 수송용 경량부품 개발에 관한 연구를 수행하였다.

Through-the-thickness properties of thick-walled cylindrical composites are required to determine structural performances because interlaminar tensile stress is primarily responsible for structural failure of the composites during their curing process. It is necessary for evaluating the tensile properties to find individual test methods to find appropriate methods because there are no recognised international standards(test methods and test specifications) available for generating reliable tensile properties in the direction. This paper has performed an experimental Study to measure that properties of carbon fabric/phenolic composites are produced by domestic company. Several test methods using an aluminum specimen were compared and evaluated. The best method, found out, was adopted to measure transverse through-the-thickness properties of composite materials. The results show that strain trends on four faces of composite specimen are the same.

The purpose of this study was to inves-tigate the economic performance of the textile industry for the Korean traditional clothes. The content of this paper had two pars; The first part was for the macroeconomic aspects such as location production employments and the produc-tion facilities of the textile industries. The second part was for the microeconomic aspects such as business type branding method fabric type R&D efforts sourc-ing and the distributional channel The major results were as follows: 1.) Most textile firms for the korean traditional clothes were located in Gongju for man-made fibers and in Jinju for silk fabrics. 2) The size of the textile industry in terms of the number of business produc-tion amount the number of employee de-creased during 1994 and 1995 due to the decreasing demand. 3) Over the half of the textile firms produced raw fabric products while only 20% of them were involved in additional dyeing and /or printing finish which re-sulted in low value added production 4) The R&D effort of the textile indus-try for the Korean traditional clothes was very low due to the market uncertainty lack of technological knowledge and most of all small size of the firms 5) Most raw materials for the textile in -dustry were imported with high(25%) tariff rates resulting in price increase and thus low competitiveness in the market. 6) The textile producers sole about the 70% of their products to the wholesalers while selling the rest to the retailers di-rectly. This showed the dual structure of the distribution channel in the textile products. These results suggested some implica-tions for the firms the policy makers and the researchers. The firms should develop new and improved products to increase and create consumer demand by intensive R&D efforts. The government policy ma-kers should give financial supports the firms with R&D investment and legal help such as lowing tariff rate for the raw ma-terials. The researchers from the academy could help the textile industry with the advanced technological knowledge and up-date information for the consumer fashion demand.

Although thermoset carbon fiber composite bipolar plates not only have high mechanical properties but also high corrosion resistance in acid environment, high manufacturing cost and low bulk electrical conductivity are the biggest obstacle to overcome. In this research, thermoplastic polymer is employed for the matrix of carbon composite bipolar plate to increase both the manufacturing productivity and bulk electric conductivity of the bipolar plate. In order to increase the electrical conductivity and strength, plain type carbon fabric rather than chopped or unidirectional fibers is used. Also nano particles are embedded in the thermoplastic matrix to increase the bulk resistance of the bipolar plate. The area specific resistance and the mechanical strength of the developed bipolar plate are measured with respect to the environmental temperature and stack compaction pressure.
