This paper investigated optimum process conditions of coating yarn for awning fabric. For this purpose, the simulation for processability and yarn quality using SPSS statistics package was carried out, and PP/TPO and PET/PVC coating yarns specimens were made with variation of extruder temperature and feed speed of core yarn on the yarn coating machine for examining simulation result. It was revealed that optimum coating conditions of PP/TPO 1000d coating yarn were extruder temperature $150^{\circ}C$, and core yarn feed speed 400~500m/min. Mechanical property and thermal shrinkage of PP/TPO coating yarn made at this conditions were best and core evenness rates of these coating yarns by yarn compression tester were also superior, which was certified by SEM photograph. In addition, these experimental results were coincided with simulation results. It was found that, in PET/PVC coating yarn, yarn physical properties between 1500d and 1200d coated yarns were not shown any difference, and core evenness rates of these coating yarns were superior. It revealed and concluded that these simulated coating conditions are applicable to production field.

This study was aimed to investigate the antibacterial efficiency of silver nano-particles and the dyeing properties of a brushed warp-knitted fabric. The properties of the brushed warp-knitted fabric containing silver nano-particle by field production processes were evaluated by analyzing its silver contents, antibacterial activity, color difference, exhaustion curve, fastness and tearing strength. Bacterial reduction ratio amounts to 91.4 and 99.9 for Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae respectively. As the brushed pile length of its fabrics is longer, the exhaution rate of disperse dye becomes higher. The brushing process of its fabrics reduces the tearing strength. The results indicate that the brushed warp knitted fabric containing silver nano-particle can be a practically promising product.

This study covers the stages of testing whether the azo dye with chemical name (E)-5-[(4-(benzyl(methyl)amino)phenyl)diazenyl]-1,4-dimethyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-4-ium zinc (II) chloride (DMT), known as Maxilon Red GRL in the dye industry, can be used as an anticorrosive feasible inhibitory agent, especially in industrial areas other than carpet, yarn and fibre dyeing. These test stages consist of the electrochemical measurement techniques such as potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear polarization resistance (LPR) for diverse concentrations and durations. The adsorption of the viewed DMT molecule on the mild steel surface obeyed the Langmuir isotherm. The zero charge potential (PZC) of mild steel was also found to assess the inhibition mechanism in containing DMT solution. The inhibition performance of DMT on the mild steel in a 1.0 M HCl solution was also investigated using methods such as metal microscope, atomic force microscope (AFM) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM).

New film forming aromatic poly(amide-imide)s containing isoindoloquinazolinedione (IQ) unit in the backbone chain (polymer XIV) have been successfully synthesized by preparing prepolymers of poly(amic acid-carbonamide). followed by subsequent thermal cyclization of the prepolymers. 4,4-Diamino-3-carbamoylbenzanilide (DACB) V has been synthesized by reduction of 3-carbamoyl-4-amino-4-nitrobenzanilide IV. The prepolymers of poly(amic-acid-carbonamide) (polymers VII and VIII) which exhibit viscosities ranging from 1.4 to 1.7 dl/g have been prepared by a condensation polymerization of monomers such as BPDA, ODA, and DACB. Polymer XIV has been obtained by thermal cyclization of the polymers VII and VIII. During the thermal cyclization reaction, imide ring structure was first introduced and then transformed to the structure of IQ unit. The thermal degradation rate of the resultant polymers were influenced by the cleavage of amide bond but the final char yield was comparable to that of poly(BPDA-ODA).

The purpose of this article is to investigate the effect of $O_{2}$ low temperature plasma treatment oft chitosan treatment of polyester fabrics. Moisture regain, static charge, crease resistance and reduction ratio of the treated fabric were measured. The results of this study were as follows: The add-on ratio and. the moisture regain of polyester fabrics treated with chitosan after treated by plasma(CP PET) were higher than those of polyester fabrics treated with only chitosan(C PET). The static charge of polyester fabrics decreased greatly with increasing the concentration of chitosan. A durability for laundering of CP PET was higher than those of C PET. The crease resistance of polyester fabrics decreased with ihcreasing the concentration of chitosan continuously. CP PET had higher decreasing rate and better durability than C PET. It showed that chitosan-treated polyester fabrics had over 90% reduction ratio after 10 times of laundering, and CP PET had better reduction ratio than C PET.

The present paper deals with improvement in disperse dyeablility as well as imparting of cationic dyeablility to difficultly dyeable polypropylene by a melt blending technique. Isotactic polypropylene (PP) was blended with fibre grade polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), cationic dyeable polyethylene terephthalate (CDPET) and polystyrene (PS), individually. The resulting binary blends were spun and drawn into fibres at draw ratio 2, 2.5, and 3. The compatibility of blends, structural changes of fibres in terms of X-ray crystallinity, relative crystallinity, sonic modulus, birefringence and thermal stability were examined. The blended fibres were found to be disperse dyeable by the conventional method of high temperature and high pressure dyeing. And this dye ability increased with increase in the level of substitution. PP/CDPET blend also exhibited dyeablility with cationic dyes in addition to that with disperse dyes. The optimum level of blending was predicted keeping in view of tenacity and thermal stability of melt blend fibres. The wash fastness properties of the dyed fibres were found to be of high rate.

We studied the physical properties of silk fabrics after degumming, the dyeability and the color fastness of silk fabrics after degumming and sericin fixing. As the sericin was removed from silk fabrics, the rate of weight loss increased and both the abrasion resistance and the drape coefficient decreased. This means that the amount of the sericin remained in silk fabrics significantly affects the physical properties of silk fabrics. On the surface and the cross-section of silk fabrics, the silk fibers enclosed by the sericin seemed to be in a lump shape. Each fibroin strand, however, got scattered, as the process of degumming went through. The dyeability of silk fabrics degummed decreased at between 20$^{\circ}C$∼80$^{\circ}C$ the dyeing temperature, on the other hand, it significantly increased over 80$^{\circ}C$. The dyeability of the sericin-fixed silk fabrics was lower than that of the non-serin-fixed silk fabrics, to a little extent. The colorfastness of crocking in the dyed-silk fabrics was a little low and that of the sweat was much lower in a basic sweat. Especially, the colorfastness of the partially degummed silk fabrics was low, because the sericin was not stable in the condition of sweat. Therefore, the process of sericin fixing is essentially required, for the partially degummed silk fabrics and the process of degumming itself.

The objective of this study was to find an appropriate method and process for protecting the green color in bamboo leaves and subsequent extraction of the green colorants, chlorophyll. Various inorganic salts including cupric sulfate, ferric sulfate, and zinc chloride were employed as green color protectors. Accordingly, the effects of metal salts and treatment conditions on color protection were investigated to find appropriate protector and conditions. And also, the efficacy of bamboo colorants as a natural green dye was evaluated through dyeing and colorfastness tests. Antimicrobial activity of dyed fabrics was measured by shake flask method in terms of bacterial reduction rate using Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 6538). On the basis of experimental results for stabilizing bamboo leaves colorants, it was confirmed that Cu was the most appropriate metal type considering dye uptake, photostability and light fastness, and its optimum concentration was 0.025%. After the stabilization, the colorants were extracted efficiently at NaOH aqueous solution of 1.00%. It was concluded that bamboo leave has a high potentiality as new resources to produce a natural green dye with antimicrobial functionality.

For the application of wet air oxidation(WAO) process reactive dyes, remazol blacks has been selected as the subject for this study. The rate of decomposition relating to the reaction temperature and catalyst has been summarized during the catalytic wet air oxidation reaction. When 1.5 gram per liter of platinum is added titanium-dioxide and the partial pressure is adjusted to 6 atmosphere at the reaction temperature exceeding $200^{\circ}C$, more than 95% of the remazol blacks dyes were decomposed. When the reaction temperature was raised to $200^{\circ}C$, $220^{\circ}C$ and $250^{\circ}C$, respectively, for 240 minutes after adding the catalyst, the remaining rate of ultraviolet absorbance had dropped significantly to 18%, 12%, and 4%. At the reaction temperature of $250^{\circ}C$, color removal efficiency was approximately 95% or more after 120 minutes from the beginning of the reaction.

Kiwifruits conventionally grown (CG), grown with low levels of chemicals (LCG), and organically grown (OG), were kept in cold storage for 24 weeks. Firmness gradually decreased with increasing storage time, regardless of cultivation mode, and the rate of softening was slightly higher in OG than in CG or LCG fruit. Neither dry matter level nor sensory values differed with varying types of cultivation. Soluble solid content increased with storage time, whereas acidity decreased in all fruit. Reducing sugar content increased notably until 12 weeks of storage, whereas starch content significantly decreased. The rate of OG fruit decay abruptly increased mid-storage and reached 35% 24 weeks after storage. Most fruit decayed due to infection with Botritis cinerea, regardless of cultivation type. Respiration and ethylene content peaked at mid-storage and were both slightly higher in OG fruit than in CG or LCG fruit. The shelf life of kiwifruit was reduced in OG fruit by increased fruit decay and softening during storage.
