Swelling and subsequent deformation of membranes by water wetting are regarded as a prime drawback of hydrophilic polyurethane breathable film. Fluoroalkylated surface was prepared by reacting the film with hexamethylene diisocyanate(HDI) and 2-perfluorohexyl ethanol. IR spectra and XPS results showed that the fluoroalkyl group was successfully introduced to the film surface with hexamethylene linkage. Water contact angle was increased from $68.7^{\circ}$ up to $144.2^{\circ}$ with the degree of fluoroalkylation. Decrease in water-vapor permeability was minimized even for the film of highest fluoroalkylation.

This study evaluates the thermal insulation and evaporative resistance of a waterproof and breathable garment system and determines the factors influencing its thermal performance. The experimental garments were composed of underwear (shirts with 100% wool and 100% polyester) and outerwear (jackets and pants with a vapor-permeable membrane and a vapor-impermeable membrane). Data on clothing insulation in a dry condition ($10^{\circ}C$) and a wet condition ($10^{\circ}C$, 40% R.H.), evaporative resistance ($34^{\circ}C$, 40% R.H., and $10^{\circ}C$, 40% R.H.), and microclimate vapor pressure were collected and analyzed. According to the results, the thermal insulation of the experimental garment system ranged 1.27~1.40 in the dry condition and 0.40~0.89 in the wet condition at $10^{\circ}C$. Evaporative resistance ranged $41{\sim}525m^2Pa/W$. A decrease in thermal insulation by wetting underwear ranged 31~67% in the cold condition ($10^{\circ}C$). The breathability of the outer garment influenced the decrease in thermal insulation by wetting. The type of underwear fiber influenced the decrease in thermal insulation only when it was used with breathable outerwear. The vapor-permeable outerwear sample with polyester underwear (P_Perm) showed a larger decrease in insulation than that with wool (W_Perm). The evaporative resistance of the vapor-permeable ensemble showed no effect of underwear in the warm condition ($34^{\circ}C$), but polyester underwear showed lower evaporative resistance than wool in the cold condition ($10^{\circ}C$). The vapor-impermeable ensemble showed no difference in evaporative resistance between polyester underwear and wool underwear in both conditions. Future research should consider various clothing ensemble combinations and environmental conditions and evaluate wear comfort by using human subjects.

다양한 용도로 사용되고 있는 라미네 이 팅 직물은 주로 별도로 제조된 고분자 필름 또는 막을 접착제, 열, 압력 등을 이용하여 기포(基布)와 결합시키는 방법으로 제조되어 진다. 이축연신시킨 Poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) sheet는 매우 우수한 높은 투과성을 지니는 다공성 물질이 며, 본 연구에서는 이 막을 나일론 직물에 라미네이팅시킨 투습방수직물을 시료로 사용하여 라미네이팅 후의 역학특성 변화를 분석 하였다. 라미네이팅에 따른 투습방수직물의 물성과 역학특성의 변화에 관하여 살펴본 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 3-layer 라미네이팅 직물(base fabric-PTFE membrane-knitted lining)의 인열강도는 2-layer라미네이팅 직물 (base fabric-PTFE membrane)에 비해 매우 높게 나타났으며, 가공 전 직물과 비교하여 코팅직물에서 나타난 것과 같은 인열강도의 감소는 나타나지 않았다. 직물-PTFE 막 복합체 의 경우, 라미네 이 팅 이 파단강도 및 파단신도 의 증가에 기여 한 것으로 나타났으며 특히 3-layer 라미네이팅 직물의 경우, 신장률이 20%를 넘어서면서 강도가 현저히 증가하였다. 의복을 착용하였을 때 가해질 수 있을 정도의 소변형(small deformation) 하에서의 역학특성 에 있어서는 라미네이팅에 의해 전단특성이 가장 유의한 변화를 나타내었다. 전단강성(G)과 전단 히스테리시스 (2HG,2HG5)모두 증가하였고, primary hand value 중에서는 stiffness 가장 현저한 증가를 나타내었다

To develop a waterproof breathable material, we fabricated three kinds of nanofiber web laminates using a massproduced electrospun nanofiber web with different substrates and layer structures. The waterproofness and breathability of nanofiber web laminates were evaluated after repeated launderings and compared with those of conventional waterproof breathable fabrics currently in use, including densely woven fabric, microporous membrane laminated fabric, and coated fabric. The durability of nanofiber web laminates, including adhesion strength, abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and tearing strength, was also assessed and compared with those of conventional waterproof breathable fabrics. The water vapor transmission of nanofiber web laminates increased slightly after repeated launderings, whereas the air permeability somewhat decreased after launderings but still maintained an acceptable level of air permeability. Laundering reduced the resistance to water penetration of nanofiber web laminates, which implies that laminating techniques or substrate materials that could support waterproofness of the laminated structure should be explored. The adhesion strength, abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and tearing strength of nanofiber web laminates were in a range comparable to conventional waterproof breathable materials.

Silica-polyurethane hybrid breathable films were prepared and their breathabilities were assessed. Appropriately aggregated silica was prepared through sol-gel reaction of water glass and its particle size ranged 360~500nm. The polyurethane dispersion was prepared by the reaction of isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI) as diisocyanate and polytetramethylene glycol(PTMG) and dimethylol propionic acid(DMPA) as polyol, particle size ranging 30~120nm. The reaction between isocyanate and hydroxyl group to form urethane bonding was checked by the intensity of the stretch peak of isocyanate at $2270cm^{-1}$ in the FT-IR. The silica was incorporated into polyurethane dispersion and casted into film. It was shown that the incorporated silica(1~5wt.%) increased water vapour permeability of the films by 30~100%, and decreased the hydrostatic pressure by 10~40%. From the results, it could be concluded that the appropriate hybridization of silica can increase the breathability of polyurethane dispersion film, while minimizing the loss of hydrostatic pressure.

에어로젤은 지금까지 알려진 가장 단열성이 우수한 소재이지만 유연성이 없고 강도가 매우 낮아 부직포나 섬유에 에어로젤을 담지한 블랭킷이 현실적으로 가장 활용이 가능한 형태이다. 그러나 에어로젤 블랭킷도 분말 발생을 피할 수 없고 유연성이 부족하고 변형 가능성이 있는 문제가 있으므로 아직은 범용으로 사용되지는 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위하여 진공 처리, 표면 처리, 복합 소재화 기술을 적용하였고 일부 시제품도 제작하였다. 에어로젤 블랭킷을 알루미늄 시트로 감싼 다음 네 끝을 봉하고 진공을 뽑으면 단열성이 블랭킷 자체보다도 우수한 소재가 될 수 있다. 에어로젤 블랭킷을 수지로 도포하여 표면 처리하면 에어로젤 성형체를 만들 수 있다. 에어로젤 블랭킷에 여러 겹으로 수지나 섬유로 라미네이팅하여 복합체로 만들면 유연성을 지닌 단열소재로 활용할 수 있다. 특히 기공이 조절된 테플론 멤브레인을 활용한 복합체는 투습 및 방수 기능까지 보유하여 의복에 사용할 수 있다. 수지와 섬유의 에어로젤 블랭킷 복합체를 활용하여 방한화용 깔창과 야외용 깔개 시제품도 제작하였다. 에어로젤을 활용하여 제작한 깔창 및 야외 깔개의 열전도는 20 mW m^-1 K^-1 이하로 단열성이 뛰어났으며, 유연성과 내구성도 우수하였다.
