Nanocomposites of three different polyesters with dodecyltriphenylphosphonium-montmorillonite $(C_{12}PPh-MMT)$ as an organoclay are compared with their thermal properties, mechanical properties, and morphologies. Poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), and poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) were used as matrix polymers in the fabrication of polyester nanocomposite fibers. The variations of their properties with organoclay content in the polymer matrix and draw ratio (DR) are discussed. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs show that some of the clay layers are dispersed homogeneously within the polymer matrix on the nano-scale, although some clay particles are agglomerated. We also found that the addition of only a small amount of organoclay is enough to improve the thermal stabilities and mechanical properties of the polyester nanocomposite fibers. Even polymers with low organoclay contents $(<5\;wt\%)$ were found to exhibit much higher strength and modulus values than pure polyester fibers. In the cases of all polyester hybrid fibers, the values of the tensile mechanical properties were found to decrease linearly with increasing DR. However, the initial tensile modulus of the PTT hybrid fibers were found to be independent of DR.

This study investigates the physical properties and manufacturing method of shape memory fabric for emotional garment made by polypropylene. For this purpose, polypropylene(PP) POY and SDY were texturized using low temperature and constant length heat treatment texturing technologies, respectively. The shape memory fabrics made using these texturized PP yarns were woven with two kinds of PET and PTT shape memory yarns on the air-jet loom and the various physical properties of four kinds of shape memory fabrics were measured and discussed. The tenacity and breaking strain of PP texturized yarns treated by low temperature and constant length heat treatment showed high weaving efficiency and the wet thermal shrinkage of PP textured yarns was shown less than 1.5%, dry thermal shrinkage was ranged between 3% and 5%, which means thermal stability compared to the PTT textured yarn with high thermal shrinkage, 5~8%. The shape memory characteristics of PP shape memory fabrics measured by Toray method showed five grade as same value as PTT shape memory fabric. The heat keeping property of the PP shape memory fabric showed 56% higher value than that of PTT shape memory fabric. The water repellency of PP shape memory fabric measured by spray method showed five grade as same value as PTT shape memory fabric treated with water repellent agent. Especially, shape memory properties of PP shape memory fabric measured by 3-D image and camera measurement methods showed similar characteristics to the PTT shape memory fabric.

Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)는 1941년 Caligo printing Ink 사의 Whinfield와 Dickson에 의해 PET와 함께 처음으로 그 중합방법이 보고 된 이래, 주원료인 1,3-propanediol의 생산가격이 너무 높아 지난 60년간 상업화 및 학문적 연구가 거의 이루어져 있지 않다. 미국의 Shell사와 독일의 Degussa(미국의 Dupont)에 의해 1,3-propanediol이 대량 생산되면서[1], PTT 섬유의 상업적 생산에 점점 관심이 집중되고 있다. 국내에서도 S사와 Shell의 공동연구에 의해 제품이 생산되는 둥 많은 연구가 진행중에 있기는 하지만, Poly(ethylene terephthalate)의 연구에 비한다면 아직 걸음마 단계의 기초 자료로 제품이 생산되고 있는 실정이다.

Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)(이하 PTT)는 1941년 Caligo Printing Ink 사의 Whinfield와 Dickson에 의해 PET와 함께 처음으로 중합방법이 보고[1]되었으나, 원료인 1,3-propanediol의 제조가격이 너무 높아 지난 60년간 상업화 및 학문적 연구가 거의 이루어지지 않았다. 최근 미국의 Shell사와 독일의 Degussa(현재 미국의 duPont)에 의해 1,3-propanediol이 대량생산되면서 PTT섬유의 상업적 생산에 점점 관심이 집중되고 있다.

오존을 포함한 자외선 조사에 의한 섬유고분자의 표면처리는 진공 조건을 요구하지 않을 뿐 아니라 삼차원적인 입체형상도 처리할 수 있기 때문에 이를 이용하여 폴리에틸렌, 폴리프로필렌, 폴리스티렌, PEEK, PET 등 다양한 고분자를 표면 처리하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 1980년대 초부터 시작된 자외선/오존에 의한 표면처리는 자외선과 자외선 조사에 의해 발생한 오존에 의해 고분자의 주쇄를 절단시키고 표면 산화층을 형성시키는 것으로 요약될 수 있으며, 최근 자외선 발생장치의 출력 향상, 조사 장치의 소형화, 장비의 저렴성, 환경친화성 등의 장점 때문에 실용적인 표면처리법으로 도입되고 있다.

Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)(PTT)는 결정화 속도가 빠른 결정성 고분자로 최근들어 섬유화에 성공한 이후 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 U의 빠른 결정화속도와 높은 결정화도 때문에 제품 제조시 곤란을 받고 있다. 한편, PET의 경우 비결정성 고분자인 poly(ethylene isophthalate)(PEI)를 공중합시켜 유리전이온도와 결정화도를 낮추고 결정화속도를 늦추어 PET 섬유의 염색성 및 투명도를 향상시키고, 저온에서의 공정처리를 가능하게 할 수 있다[1-3]. (중략)

The thermal degradation products of polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) obtained by heating the sample in the temperature range of $250-360^{\circ}C$ under non-oxidative conditions was characterized using MALDI-TOF (matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization) mass spectrometry. The structures of the degradation products were determined and the relative compositions were estimated. The MALDI-TOF mass spectra of the thermally degraded PTT sample showed three main series of oligomer products with different end groups, which were carboxyl/carboxyl, carboxyl/allyl, and allyl/allyl. In contrast to the thermal degradation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the oligomers containing terephthalic anhydrides were not detected, whereas the formation of oligomers containing the unsaturated allyl ester group was confirmed by mass assignment. From these results, it was concluded that the thermal degradation of PTT proceeds exclusively through the ${\beta}$-CH hydrogen transfer mechanism, which is in accordance with the proposed reaction mechanism for the thermal degradation of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT).

In this study, we have investigated properties and behaviors of the indigo vat dyeings on synthetic fibers, namely PET and PTT/Spandex. In addition, indigo vat dyeing conditions such as dyeing temperature, dye concentration and pH were optimized. The finding results show that higher color strengths of indigo dyeings on the two types of applied fibers were obtained at $110^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$, respectively. Furthermore, acid leuco dyeings on the fiber substrates using acetic acid and formic acid show higher dye uptake with compared to alkali leuco counterparts.

편성물은 느슨한 루프에 의해 구성되어 있으므로, 직물에 비해 신축성이 커서, 체형에 밀착되며, 인체의 움직임에 따라 쉽게 움직인다. 그러나 높은 신축성 때문에 편성물을 재단할 때 결을 벗어나면서 자르기 쉽다. 보통 직물의 신도는 10-20%이나 위편성물은 100-200%, 경편성물은 40-100%의 신도를 나타낸다. 편성물의 높은 신축성은 신축성과 함께 유연성을 주지만, 착용과 세탁 후의 외관을 해치게 되는 결과를 낳을 수도 있다. (중략)

Helium-oxygen plasma treatments were conducted to modify poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PIT) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) warp knitted fabrics under atmospheric pressure. Lubricant and contamination removals by plasma etching effect were examined by weight loss $(\%)$ measurements and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Surface oxidation by plasma treatments was revealed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses, resulting in formation of hydrophilic groups and moisture regain $(\%)$ enhancement. Low-stress mechanical properties (evaluated by Kawabata evaluation system) and bulk properties (air permeability and bust strength) were enhanced by plasma treatment. Increasing interfiber and interyarn frictions might play important roles in enhancing surface property changes by plasma etching effect, and then changing low-stress mechanical properties and bulk properties for both fabrics.
