The alkaline dissolution behavior of sea-island type ultrafine nylon fiber were dependent on the concentration of NaOH and treatment time, and the most appropriate condition for alkaline dissolution was to treat with 20g/l NaOH for 30 min at $80^{\circ}C$. The dyeing properties of sea-island type ultrafine nylon fiber and regular nylon fiber were examined with 3 different types of acid dyes in this study. The dye uptakes of ultrafine nylon fiber were higher than regular nylon fiber because of large surface area per unit mass, which increased as the dye bath pH decreased. The dyeing rates on ultrafine nylon fiber were faster and dye exhaustions were higher than regular nylon fiber, however color strength and rating of wash fastness were lower. It was also found that levelling type acid dye showed fast dyeing rate on both nylon fibers than metal-complex and milling type acid dyes.

Alkali hydrolysis of sea-island PET 0.02denier microfiber were compared to those on the fabrics of the 0.06denier microfiber. In the dissolution of the sea component out of sea island type ultra-microfiber, it is important to determine the optimum division and divided material. Weight reduction of sea island ultra-micro sea island fiber was faster than regular PET about 10 times. Also 0.2denier sea-island ultra-micro sea island fiber has better color fastness (washing, friction, and daylight) than 0.06denier level sea-island ultra-microfiber. In this study, 0.2denier ultra-micro sea island fiber shows the possibility of high value product.

The alkaline dissolution behavior of sea-island type polyarnide microfibers were successfully monitored using a cationic dye staining method. Weight reduction behavior of the alkali-treated microfiber fabrics and the treated fabrics stained with cationic dye were investigated in a comparative manner. The termination of dissolution monitored by both methods was also confirmed by scanning electron microscopy.

In order to make a supermicrofiber fabric with PET/co-PET sea-island type filament fiber, the optimum conditions of dissolution of co-PET composite filament fiber was examined. The data set was made at various organic acid concentration and steam temperature with treated time as a main variable. At the same time, the microstructure changes by organic acid treatment of sea-island type PET supermicrofibers were monitored by thermal analysis morphology, DSC thermgrams and SEM images. Weight reduction behavior of supermicrofibers by caustic treatment was investigated in a comparative method. The termination of dissolution was also confirmed using DSC thermgrams and SEM images.

Two kinds of sea-island type polyester ultramicro fibers (fiber fineness : 0.01 and 0.05 denier) were treated with NaOH varying time and concentration. Surface morphology of the treated fibers with alkaline weight loss was observed by SEM. The treated effects were investigated by measuring density, melting temperature, and X-ray diffraction patterns. The surface morphology of the polyester ultramicro fiber was changed by NaOH concentration. Weight loss of 0.01d fiber was much larger than that of 0.05d fiber. Density and crystallinity were increased with weight loss of fiber. After the weight loss had finished, the density and crystallinity were decreased because of attack of island partition of the fiber. A melting temperature$(T_m)$ is $250^{circ}$ at untreated fiber on the whole and in 0.05d fiber the $(T_m)$ is $252^{circ}$ at untreated. In 0.01d fiber the $(T_m)$ was increased with weight loss of fiber.

In this study, conjugate fibers were prepared from 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol-modified polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin using side by side conjugate spinning, sea-island type conjugate spinning, and split type conjugate spinning methods, and the properties of the conjugate fibers were investigated via several techniques. When viscosity increased, the tenacity of side by side conjugate fibers was increased, whereas elongation decreased. The sea-island conjugate fibers showed lower weight loss and surface color difference (K/S) values relative to that of regular PET fibers at the same conditions. The SEM results indicate that orange type spilt readily produced at a temperature range of 120 - 140$^{\circ}C$.

Alkaline treatment gives Sea-Island type yam to produce microfiber and silk-like touch. But this treatment have some problems in dyeing and finishing process. To solve some problem occurred in dyeing and finishing of polyester fabric, the ultrasonic treatment technique was used recently. This study was carried out to confirm the effect of the ultrasonic treatment on alkaline weight loss finishing of polyester fiber under general alkaline treatment conditions; NaOH concentration 2, 3, 4, and 5％, treatment time 5, 10, 15, and 20 minutes, treatment temperature 70, 80, 90, and 99'E, respectively. On the other hand, the three way lay out method was used to test of significant obtained data from alkaline treatment. It was found that weight loss increased with increasing the NaOH concentration, temperature, and time. Also, in case of PET/Co-PET fabrics by ultrasonic, weight loss and dissolution of microfiber were superior to PET/Co-PET fabrics without ultrasonic. Tensile strength and modulus decreased with increasing NaOH concentrations and hydrolysis time. Therefore, the effect of alkali hydrolysis by ultrasonic application was better than that of the conventional method.

We have investigated the luster of modified cross-sectional fiber fabrics as one of the essential quality estimates for clothing development. We have confirmed an objective evaluation method, and have determined the experimental luster char­acteristics of modified cross-section fibers. The cross-section of the fibers in a fabric affects the appearance of a textile. We used the image analysis method to investigate the luster to determine the critical factors influencing the appearance of modi­fied cross-section fiber fabrics. For similarly structured textiles in a component fabric, clear differences were observed in the fabric weave, density, percentage, and total area of blobs, which is image region. Color played a decisive role in the luster of the textiles, and luster was not significantly influenced by the modified cross-section fabric weave. In addition, the degree of luster did not increase in the order plain to twill to satin for modified cross-sectional fiber fabrics. All the split-type microfi­bers exhibited higher numerical luster values (percentage of pixels, and number and total area of blobs) than sea-island microfibers did. The degree of luster of the modified cross-sectional fiber fabrics was not high at specular reflection angles.

나노필라멘트는 단면직경이 수백 나노미터에서 수십 나노미터 수준인 초극세 장섬유를 말하며, 해도형 복합방사로 얻어진 섬유를 알칼리 감량을 통해 해성분을 용출하여 도성분에 해당하는 나노필라멘트를 얻는다. 이러한 나노필라멘트사는 초극세와 마찬가지로 단위중량당 표면적이 크고, 작은 굴곡반경 및 낮은 굴곡 반발성으로 인하여 일반 합성섬유에 비하여 고가성 및 새로운 기능성을 부여하는 제품에 응용 될 수 있다. 특히 나노필라멘트를 이용한 편물제품으로 경편물은 wiping cloth 등 산업용도에 적용되며, 환편물은 인조피혁 등 의류용으로 사용된다. 나노필라멘트 편물은 원사섬도, 편물의 조직, 밀도 및 중량 등에 따라 분할율과 용출 특성이 상이하므로 후가공 공정에 있어서 감량공정은 매우 중요하다. 또한 나노필라멘트와 같은 세사의 경우 일반사보다 비표면적이 증가하여 동일한 염색조건에서 옅은 색상을 나타낸다. 이로 인해 같은 색상을 위하여 보다 많은 염료를 투입해야 하며, 결과적으로 견뢰도 문제가 발생할 우려가 있다. 이 연구에서는 해도형 나노필라멘트 PET 원사와 일반 PET사를 복합한 2종의 편물을 이용하여 알칼리감량특성 및 3가지 분산염료에 대한 염색성과 견뢰도를 조사하였다. 알칼리 처리조건에 따른 감량률을 측정함으로써 각 편물의 이론 감량률에 도달하는 지점을 확인하고, SEM사진 분석을 통하여 해도사의 감량정도 및 분할특성을 확인하였다. 나노필라멘트 편성물은 염료농도가 증가함에 따라 지속적으로 K/S 값이 증가하였으나, 전체적으로 낮은 K/S값을 얻었다. 또한 염색온도가 110에서 $100^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라 K/S값이 감소하였는데, 이는 고온에서 분산염료가 나노필라멘트로부터 일반 PET사로 이염이 더 많이 발생하였기 때문이라고 생각된다. 세탁견뢰도의 경우 양호 또는 우수하였으나, 일광견뢰도의 경우 1등급으로 매우 낮아 이를 개선하기 위한 노력이 향후 진행되어야 할 것이다.
