In this study, the performance of ultrasonic cleaners for ultrasonic washing, which is one of the wet cleaning methods, was evaluated. The washing performances of ultrasonic cleaners were compared with commercial washing machines under normal and wool courses based on different parameters such as detergency, wrinkle formation, fabric damage, dimensional stability, and germ removal ability. Cotton, silk and wool were used in this experiment. Results revealed that the ultrasonic washing detergency of cotton fabrics was lower than that of commercial washing machines under the normal course and similar to that of commercial washing machines under the wool course. Detergency of silk fabrics was similar under both normal and wool courses. In terms of wrinkle formation and dimensional stability, ultrasonic cleaners showed lesser wrinkles and lower shrinkage than commercial washing machines. Considering damage evaluation, ultrasonic cleaners more effectively removed soil without damaging fabrics compared with commercial washing machines. The bacteria removal rate of both cotton and silk was more effective than the wool course of a commercial washing machine. Thus, this study compares the performance of ultrasonic cleaners and commercial washing machines and provides meaningful results related to ultrasonic washing performance.

In this study, the efficacy of ultrasonic washing in cotton and wool fabrics was compared and evaluated against conventional washing in terms of cleaning properties and fabric deformation. Factors such as washing temperature, time, liquid ratio, and detergent concentration were kept varied, and the cleaning properties of sebum-soiled fabrics were assessed using different detergents such as alcohol ethoxylate, linear alkylbenzenesulfonate, and IEC 60456 Reference Detergent A^*. In addition, the effects and emulsification power of enzymes and oxygen bleach were examined. To compare the cleaning properties with general washing, a launder-O-meter was used. To investigate fabric deformation during the washing process, the loosening test cloth, shrinkage test cloth, and mechanical strength test cloth were compared between ultrasonic washing machines and household drum washing machines. The results indicate that ultrasonic washing exhibits superior cleaning properties than launder-O-meter when the temperature is low and the washing time is short. Furthermore, there is less deformation and damage during the washing process. It was also observed that the activity of the detergent increases when ultrasonic waves are applied to the washing process. Considering the increasing tendency to pursue convenience and simplicity in clothing management as well as the anticipated commercialization of smart clothing with built-in electric circuits, ultrasonic laundry could serve as a new alternative to existing laundry methods.

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of four different cleaning method of silk and to fabrics, which were excavated from the sixteenth century tombs. The four cleaning methods were hand washing in water and hand washing in solvent, washing in ultrasonic cleaner, and using of ultrasonic gun after washing in ultrasonic cleaner. The following is the result of the experiment: ㆍBoth silk and jute fabrics shrank the most after hand-wash in water. This cleaning method decreased their thickness the most but changed their strength the least. However, the color of the fabric changed the most after had-wash in water. This washing method might discolor the dyed fabric, so one must check the condition of the fabric thoroughly before washing it. ㆍThe weight and the thickness of the fabric changed little after ultrasonic cleaning. This cleaning method, therefore. is less efficient than hand-water-wash. The use of ultrasonic gun after ultrasonic wash for partial cleansing enhanced the efficiency a little. Nevertheless, this method left stain around the area where the gun was used, and the injected water could damage the fabric. ㆍThe excavated fabric became softer in the cleaning process as the dirt was washed away. In both cases of silk and jute fabrics cleaning, solvent made the fabric softer than water. Washed in solvent, the fabric did not swell. But water penetrated to the fiber during the cleaning process and made the fabric swell. When the water evaporates, the swollen fiber structure collapses and the fabric become stiff. Ultrasonic wash did not cause much change in the flexibility of the fabric, for this method does not remove the dirt as effectively as the other method.

플라즈마 처리가 나일론 6 직물의 표면 특성과 폴리아닐린/나일론 6 복합직물의 전도도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 산소 플라즈마로 처리한 나일론 6 직물의 표면을 XPS 분석을 통해 확인한 결과 C-O, C-OH 등의 관능기가 도입되었으며, 이는 직물과 폴리아닐린의 결합력을 향상시켜 전기 전도도와 폴리아닐린 부착량을 증가시켰다. 또한 산소 플라즈마로 처리된 폴리아닐린/나일론 6 복합직물은 세탁과 마모에서도 우수한 안정성을 나타내었다. 초음파 처리는 매질에 발생된 cavitation과 진동에 의해 직물 내부로 아닐린을 확산시키는데 효과적이었으며, 이는 폴리아닐린/나일론 6 복합직물의 전기 전도도를 크게 향상시켰다. 아닐린의 농도와 중합욕에 침지 휫수가 증가함에 따라 전기 전도도와 복합직물의 형태안정성에 대한 영향을 살펴보았는데, 단량체 농도는 0.5M 까지는 증가함에 따라 전도도가 향상되었으며, 침지 횟수가 증가함에 따라서도 전도도가 향상되었다.

홍화 황색소의 면, 마, 레이온과 같은 셀룰로오스 섬유에 대한 염착량을 증진시키기 위하여 키토산 전처리를 행하였다. 키토산 전처리가 염착성, 색상, 염색견뢰도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 섬유 종류에 관계없이 키토산 전처리는 염착성을 증진시켰으며, 농도가 증가함에 따라 계속 증가하였다. 2% 처리농도에서 미처리와 비교할 때 면은 5.6배, 모시는 7.2배, 레이온은 3.7배 염착량이 증가하였다. 키토산 전처리한 면과 모시는 YR 색상에서 Y 색상으로 변화하였으며, 레이온의 경우에는 전처리와 상관없이 Y 계열의 색상을 보였다. 키토산 전처리에 의해 색상은 노란색이 강하여졌으며 더 진하고 깊은 색상으로 변하였다. 키토산 전처리 직물은 염색온도에 따라 색상이 변화하였는데 공통적으로 50, $70^{\circ}C$에서는 YR 색상을 30, $90^{\circ}C$에서는 Y 색상을 나타냈다. 염색온도가 높을수록 색상은 진하고 칙칙하였다. 세탁견뢰도는 아주 낮았으며, 일광에 매우 약한 홍화 황색소의 특성을 고려할 때 일광견뢰도는 양호한 편이었다. 기존의 자동 염색기로 염색하는 경우와 비교할 때 초음파 염색법이 면과 모시의 염착량을 30% 이상 증진시키는 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 레이온의 경우, 두 방법간의 염착량 차이는 없었다.
