In dyeing PET/Spandex blends with disperse dyes, many disperse dyes are absorbed more readily into Spandex than PET. Inorganic/organic(I/O) values can characterize the affinity of disperse dyes for Spandex and PET fibers. As I/O values of disperse dyes approach that of Spandex, the dye uptake in Spandex increases. On the contrary, the disperse dyes of higher I/O values are absorbed more into PET than Spandex. The dye uptake in PET increases with increasing I/O values of disperse dyes. As I/O values of disperse dyes increase, the rate of dyeing become slower in the dyeing of PET/Spandex blends. Hence, the affinity and the compatibility of disperse dyes in PET/Spandex blends dyeing can be evaluated with I/O value.

Spandex has been successfully applied on modified worsted spinning system to produce spandex core spun yam. However it's difficult to produce wool/spandex core-spun yam on woolen spinning system with the same modified device because the drafting device of the two systems is quite different. A new method is introduced to apply spandex on woolen spinning system in this paper. Core-spun yam produced in this way has good appearance and quality by comparing with normal yam. A series of experiments were carried out to study the influence of spandex drafting ratio and yam twist factor on tensile' properties and elasticity of core-spun yams. The results indicate that core-spun yam with spandex drawing ratio of 2.5 and twist factor of 13.63 has highest value of tenacity and breaking elongation.

Spandex fibers have superior stretch and elastic recovery ability. Composite yarns containing spandex are frequently used to manufacture elastic textile products and accessories. We have developed a composite yarn spinning system that produces different kinds of composite yarns containing spandex on a modified open-end rotor spinning frame. By changing the twisting parameter of composite yarns, we studied the structure and properties of rotor-spun composite yarns with spandex. The results indicate that the twisting parameter has great influence on the structure and properties of rotor-spun composite yarns with spandex. The linear density of spandex filament has influence on the properties of composite yarns too. In comparison with normal rotor-spun yarn, the appearance of composite yarns is clearer, the structure is much tighter, and the properties are improved.

This study evaluate the effect of laundering on the deformation of knitted spandex/cotton fabrics compared with that of knitted cotton fabrics. Commercial knitted spandex/cotton and knitted cotton fabrics for T-shits were laundered in a drum-type washing machine and dried in a tumble dryer. Wale spirality, shrinkage, elastic recovery and surface contour of knitted fabrics were investigated under different laundering conditions: washing temperature, presoaking time and washing cycles. Knitted spandex/cotton fabrics had a lower angle of spirality than knitted cotton fabrics. After the first washing cycle, the angles of spirality of all the fabrics had decreased greatly. Knitted cotton fabric of low density deformed more than that of higher density. Knitted spandex/cotton. fabric of low density shrank less, because of the greater extension given during heat-set. Permanent elongation length at the 80$\%$ extension was longer than at the 50$\%$ extension, and the knitted spandex/cotton fabric which was expanded greatly during heat-set had a lower elastic recovery rate. The surface appearance of the knitted spandex/cotton fabrics was worsl~ than that of the knitted cotton fabrics before laundering and after repeated laundering, because of the much protruded cotton fibers from the yarns.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of wearing spandex underwear on the muscle activity and heart rate during flexion and extension of trunk and knee joint. Background: Back pain continues to be the leading overall cause of physical illness and lowering productivity in workplace. Recently, the utility of assistive garment or back belt have been discussed to lessen the back pain as well as to preserve the right posture. Method: Ten males and ten females participated in the experiment. Gender, wearing spandex underwear and postures were used for independent variables, and muscle activity, the level of asymmetry of muscle activity and variation of heart rate were used as dependent variables. Muscle activity and heart rate were measured during flexion and extension of trunk and knee joint. Results: When wearing spandex underwear, the muscle activity was relatively low compared to the condition not wearing the spandex underwear. The symmetry of muscle activity and the variation of heart rate were statistically significant at the 0.05 significance level. In particular, it was found that the symmetry of muscle activity increased while wearing spandex underwear. Conclusion: Spandex underwear has an effect that can reduce asymmetry of right and left muscles which are relevant to leg because spandex underwear equally supports right and left low-back muscles. Application: The spandex underwear used in this study can apply to the rehabilitation as an useful assistive device.

In synthetic/spandex blends fibers, contents of the synthetic fiber by percentage is higher than those of spandex. Thus, the dyeing process of the blends fiber is mainly focused on the synthetic fiber, but not the spandex. In this study, we used several series of vat dyes for dyeing the nylon/spandex blend fabrics and their dyeing properties(fk value) were investigated at various reduction agents, temperatures, pH which have the potential for deep shade dyeing effects. The formamidinesulfinic acid were found to be effective to increase the fk values of the blend fiber compared to sodium hydrosulfite and Rongalit C. Higher temperature($100^{\circ}C$) and lower pH(pH 4) were observed as suitable conditions for maximum fk values.

탄성직물의 내구성은 탄성직물에 포함된 스판덱스사의 성질변화가 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 세탁조건이 스판덱스사의 길이, 강도와 신도, $300\%$신장 후의 영구탄성 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 시료로는 굵기가 다른 스판덱스사와 heat-set 시 신장률이 다른 편성물을 가정용 드림세탁기에서 세탁온도, 세탁 전 침지시간과 세탁휫수를 달리하여 세탁한 후, 편성물로부터 스판덱스사를 분리하여 기계적 성질을 측정하였다 스판덱스사의 길이는 세탁온도가 높아지거나, $40\%$에서 세탁휫수가 증가하면 계속 감소하였으나 세탁 전 침지시간에 따른 영향은 비교적 적었다 섬유가 가늘수록 길이 수축률이 크며 세척 조건변화에 따른 수축률이 크게 증가하였다. 스판덱스사의 강도와 신도는 반복 세척 시의 감소가 뚜렷하였으며, heat-set 시에는 강도와 신도도 크게 감소하였고, heat-set 시에 가해준 신장률이 클수록 감소가 더 컸다. 한편 스판덱스사의 영구변형률은 세탁온도가 높으며, 침지시간이 길고, 세탁횟수가 많을 때 현저히 높았다. 대체적으로 굵은 스판덱스사의 영구변형률이 크며, 140D는 30회 세척 후에 $28.0\%$의 영구변형 이 일어났다. Heat-set로 스판덱스사의 영구변형은 늘어나며, heat-set 시에 신장률이 큰 스판덱스사의 영구변형이 더 많았다. DSC 열분석 곡선에서 스판덱스 섬유는 반복 세탁과 heat-set여부와 관계없이 동일한 융해온도를 나타내었으며, 이로부터 스판덱스 섬유의 hard segment분자쇄 길이는 세탁 또는 heat-set후에도 변화가 없는 것으로 보여진다.

본 연구의 목적은 드롭 착지 동작 시 탄성 섬유 바지 착용이 충격력과 근육 활동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 분석하는데 있다. 10명의 피험자를 대상으로 7쌍의 표면전극을 대퇴직근, 내측광근, 외측광근, 대퇴이두근, 전경골근, 내측비복근, 외측비복근에 부착하고 탄성 바지와 일반 바지를 무작위로 착용한 상태로 플랫폼에서 드롭 랜딩하였고 각 변인에 대해 대응표본 t-검증을 실시하여 통계적 유의차를 밝혔다(p< .05). 착지 구간 동안 전경골근, 대퇴이두근, 내측비복근의 평균적분 근전도치가 일반바지 착용 시 유의하게 감소되었다. 대퇴직근을 제외한 모든 근육에서 최대적분 근전도가 탄성바지 착용 집단이 높게 나타났다. 탄성바지 착용 시 신체 하지분절의 감속과 안정을 유지하기 위한 근육 동원 능력이 높아져 이러한 현상이 발생되어진 것으로 사료된다. 탄성바지 착용이 충격력과 부하율의 감소에 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 발생시키지 못하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 탄성바지는 피험자의 하지 둘레에 적합하게 제작되어진 바지가 아니기 때문에 탄성과 압축력이 이상적으로 발생되지 못한 것으로 판단된다.

We investigated the effects of washing on the mechanical properties and hand values of spandex/cotton and cotton single jersey fabrics. These knitted fabrics were subjected to 30 laundering cycles with a drum-type washer and were followed by drying at $65^{\circ}C$ with a tumble dryer. The mechanical properties of the cotton knitted fabrics changed greatly during the first washing and then suffered no further change in their properties as the number of washing cycle increased. However, the properties of the spandex/cotton knitted fabrics changed continuously throughout all the washing cycles. The cotton/spandex knitted fabrics showed higher values in tensile and bending properties than did the cotton knitted fabrics, though both kinds of fabrics showed less difference in shearing, surface and compression properties. The spandex/cotton knitted fabrics which had proper density had a higher THV for winter underwear after 30 repeated washings than did the cotton knitted fabrics, and the THVs of both fabrics decreased with the increase in the number of washing cycles.
