Ternary solutions that cellulose triacetate (CTA) and polyethylene terephthate (PET) were mixed in a solvent trifiuoroacetic acid (TFA)/methylene chloride (MC) (6/4 : v/v) showed phase separation and mesophase formation. The ternary systems which were mesomorphic were spun into a methanol both and relatively strong cellulosic fillaments were successfully produced. Analysis showed that CTA/PET fibers have fibrillar structure and high orientation parallel to the fiber axis. These fibers proved to be molecular composite and have relatively high strength and modulus as spun.

Alternative way of shaping fibers suitable for papermaking was introduced. Impact refining, which was done simply by hitting wet fibers with a metal weight vertically, was intended to keep the fibers from shortening and to cause mostly internal fibrillation. Virgin chemical pulp, its recycled one and OCC were used in the experiment. It was noticed from the experiment that impact refining on virgin chemical pulp kept the fiber length and Increased bonding properties greatly, However, in the recycled fibers from the chemical pulp, fiber length and bonding properties were decreased. In OCC, which seems to contain fractions of semi-chemical pulp and mechanical pulp (GP), and which is recycled pulp from corrugated boxes, fiber length and bonding properties were decreased disastrously. We believe recycled cellulosic fibers (recycled chemical pulp and OCC in this case), which went through hornification, were less resistant to the mechanical impact than virgin chemical pulp. For virgin chemical pulp, impact refining allowed no significant fiber length shortening, high WRV, and high mechanical strength.

Possible methods of protection of non cellulosic fibers, particularly nylon filament yarn, from the damaging effects of light are discussed. Manganese acetate, cupricacetate, G1-06-196 and sodium phosphate are used as a light stabilizer for nylon filament yarn. The light stability of filament containing different weight of TiO$_2$ is increased as the following order: Bright>Semi-Dull>Full-Dull The protection effect against light according to the present of the light stabilizer in filament increased in the following order: Manganese acetate> Cupric acid> G1-06-196> Sodium phosphate Manganese acetate is shown to be the most effecting salt for protecting nylon against light. 15 ppm of the salt is shown to be effective enough for protecting nylon filament yarn against light.

Thin sections of cellulose fibers were incubated with an endo- and an exoglucanase labeled with gold particles of differing sizes. The hydrolytic sites were then visualized under transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The potential interaction between the ${\beta}$-1, 4-glucan substrates and the endo- and the exoglucanases was investigated using cellulosic and lignocellulosic substrates. The simultaneous visualization was very successful in distinguishing preferred substrates for each cellulase in lignocellulosic substrates. When plant lignocellulose was preincubated with endocellulase, density of the gold labeling greatly increased suggesting that preliminary exposure of lignocellulosic material to endocellulase may have enhanced the accessibility of the substrate to endocellulase and exocellulase. This result provided a plausible explanation for the observed endo/exo cellulase co-hydrolysis.

In this paper, dyeing properties and colorfastness of ramie, flax, and cotton fabrics for direct dyes were compared. When dyed in a same liquor-goods ratio, in case of green dyes, colorfastness to light was similar for three fibers but in case of red dyes, cotton had a lower level. For colorfastness to laundering, there fibers were similar and three were no consistent differences. The degree of stain about white cotton fabric was higher in case of red dyes and it showed the difference of dye's properties. The degree of stain about white wool fabric showed the highs resistance or stain and little stain was seen. This result represented that the dyes. used were proper direct dyes for cellulosic fibers. For the difference of shade, the cotton was consistently brighter and the shade of ramie was darker than that of cotton and flax. This might mean that optical effects arose from the comparatively large cross-sectional size of the ramie fiber and its highly oriented structure.

Various fabrics, including natural fibers, regenerated cellulosic fibers, synthetic fibers, blend yarn, and mixture fabrics, were treated with the solutions of high purity chitosan in 1% acetic acid, having high viscosity of 930cps or low viscosity of 8cps. Physical/ mechanical properties of the treated fabrics samples were measured using Kawabata Evaluation System and drape tester. From these, hand values and total hand values of the fabric samples were calculated using Kawabata-Niwa translation equations. KOSHI, SHARI, HARI values have increased for the treated samples, while FUKURAMI values have decreased in general.

Natural indigo dyeing has been used mainly on cellulosic fibers and silk during the course of history in Korea. In order to extend the usage of this one of the most important natural dyes, its dyeability on wool fabrics has been studied to find out the optimum dyeing condition for wool fiber which is susceptible to alkaline medium. The dyeing method used was hydrosulphite vat of extracted dye. K/S values of dyed fabrics were investigated to analyze the dyeability of natural indigo on wool fibers and colors were measured through $L^*,\;a^*,\;b^*$ and Munsell Values. Highest K/S values were obtained at the temperature of 60(C and pH 7 to 8. The Munsell Values for hue of wool fabrics dyed with extracted indigo powder using hydrosulphite vat fell mostly in PB range. As the dyebath pH increased, blueness increased. Different dyeing conditions resulted in change of colors of dyed fabrics due to the difference in amounts of indigotin and indirubin contents within the dyed fiber as shown by HPLC.

This study was undertaken to examine the applicability of domestic enzymes in the quantitative determination of dietary fibers according to the official enzymatic-gravimetric method of AOAC and to apply it to 4 kinds of fruits (apple, pear, peach and persimmon) and 4 kinds of vegetables (Korean radish, lettuce, Korean cabbage and cabbage Kimchi). With domestic enzymes, an optimum condition was selected to use 1/10 units of enzyme activity and to extent the reaction time two-fold as compared with the recommended method, in the case of fruits and vegetables. On a dry matter basis, fiber contents of fruits were in the range of 9.4-28.8% total dietary fiber, 1.8-7.8% non-cellulosic polysaccharides, 3.7-5.8% cellulose and 1.3-21.3% lignin. Fiber contents of vegetables were 26.0-35.7% total dietary fiber, 11.3-14.4% non-cellulosic polysac-charides, 12.3-19.7% cellulose and 1.4-7.4% lignin. On a dry matter basis, crude fiber contents were 3.5-6.7%in fruits and 9.1-13.8% in vegetables. Therefore, crude fiber contents of fruits and vegetables accounted for only 12-50% of total dietary fibers.
