개인적 삶의 질 향상과 함께 사회적인 삶의 가치를 추구하여 인체친화적이며 동시에 환경 친화적인 제품 소비에 가치를 두는 LOHAS 트렌드의 영향으로 의류 제품에서는 소비자의 요구 수준에 맞춘 고급화, 고기능화된 의류 상품 및 소재 중심의 소비와 함께 친환경 소재, 리사이클 소재 등에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 최근 Ramie 복합 소재는 이러한 트렌드에 적합한 대표적인 소재로서 고감성/웰빙 신섬유 제품 개발을 통해 신시장 개척이 가능한 아이템으로 주목받고 있다. 한편, Ramie는 땀에 대한 흡습성과 속건성이 우수하고 청량감이 있어 주로 여름 소재로 활용되어 왔으나 촉감이 좋지 못하고 광택성이 떨어지는 단점이 있어 이를 보완하기 위해 촉감이 좋고 광택성이 뛰어난 레이온 계열의 소재와 혼방하여 고급스럽고 환경 친화적인 의류소재로써 개발이 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 레이온계 섬유 중에서 상품성이 modal 섬유 Tencel 섬유를 각각 혼방한 Ramie/Modal(28's,30's), Ramie/Tencel(28's) 복합소재의 반응성 염료에 대한 염색특성을 비교 고찰해 보았다. 실험은 Heterobifunctional type 반응성 염료 3종(Red, Yellow, Blue)을 이용하여 흡진 거동, 빌드업 특성, 겉보기 색상농도 등을 비교하였으며 1/1 standard 농도에서의 제반 견뢰도를 비교 평가하였다.

Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability (LOHAS) influences the development of hygienic and health-oriented functional textile products; consequently, there has been an increase in the prospects for environmentally friendly natural dyeing products with functional and sensitive characteristics. Therefore, the present study expresses a functional manifestation on fabrics by treatment with chitosan and tannin using natural Coptidis Rhizoma. Cotton and wool fabrics dyed with Coptidis Rhizoma after treatment with chitosan and tannin. Consequently, the antibiosis of fabric dyed with Coptidis Rhizoma was excellent with 99.9% bacterial reduction for Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae in both fabrics. The deodorization rate was more than 90.0% in both fabrics after 120 minutes. The UV-A protection rate was 88.2% and the UV-B protection rate was 87.7% for cotton. The UV-A protection rate was 88.2% and the UV-B protection rate was 84.3% for wool fabric. Therefore, both of the dyed fabrics showed excellent UV protection by treatment with only chitosan and tannin, without mordants. Therefore, chitosan and tannin treatments were able to manifest functionalities in the fabrics dyed with Coptidis Rhizoma.
