The lumbar disc is one of the first parts of the human body to age. Female discs start to age at twenty and completely age between fifty and sixty. The number of lumbar herniated intervertebral disc patients is increasing rapidly; however, studies on protective inner wear are insufficient. This study develops protective inner wear equipment for bodies. The following were the study methods and procedures. First, the protective design, pattern and making of the inner wear were based on the analysis of collected data. Second, one subject was selected, then human body parts were measured to create the inner protective pattern. The inner pattern was made by the basic size of the subject. The inner protective equipment was made for lumbar disc disease patients after a wearing test and after correcting the pattern. Third, inner protective equipment was thoroughly tested to verify the compatibility of lumbar pads. The following were the study results and observations. First, lumbar pads who had inner protection were easily worn and the design was very ladyish in contrast to other lumbar pads on the market. Second, the pattern was completed by referring to, Lee Hyoung Sook's, torso and her lumbar pad shape. The fabric was mesh (for good ventilation) and poly spandex (for elasticity). Third, lumbar inner protective equipment was verified through a subject assessment and a major assessment. This study showed high scores on appearance and functional satisfaction versus existing disc lumbar pads in the market.

고급 스포츠웨어와 이너웨어 등에 많이 사용되고 있는 나일론/폴리우레탄 혼방제품은 염색에 있어서 Grin-through 현상, 인공피혁의 염료 이염 현상 등 많은 문제들이 존재한다. 본 연구의 나일론과 폴리우레탄 복합소재에서 나타나는 염색거동을 고찰하고 분석하여, 폴리우레탄 복합소재의 염색성을 개선하기 위하여 실시하였다. 폴리우레탄 복합소재는 해성분이 용출되지 않은 나일론 초극세사 소재에 폴리우레탄 수지를 함침하여 인공피혁과 같은 느낌을 주도록 직접 제조하였다. 제조된 폴리우레탄 함침 나일론 초극세사 소재의 해성분을 용출하였고, Red 색상의 밀링형 산성 염료, 함금속 염료와 반응성 염료에 따라 달라지는 염색특성 및 세탁 견뢰도 등을 고찰하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 다음과 같은 실험결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 나일론 초극세사와 폴리우레탄 수지를 준비하여 습식공정을 통해 인공피혁을 제조한 함침 소재를 알칼리 감량하였고, 감량률은 15~17% 정도로서 대부분의 해성분이 용출됨을 확인하였다. PPG와 PTMG로 구성된 폴리올을 기반으로 한 폴리우레탄 함침 피혁과 PTMG를 단독으로 사용한 함침 피혁의 염색성을 비교한 결과, PPG+PTMG 타입이 더 우수한 염색성을 나타내었다. 특히 밀링 타입과 함금속 타입 염료의 경우는 거의 2배 이상의 흡진율과 겉보기 색농도를 나타내었다. 한편, 반응성 염료의 경우는 두 종류의 폴리우레탄 필름에 거의 염착되지 않았기 때문에 앞으로의 염색실험에서 제외하였다. 견뢰도 측면에서는 각각의 피염물의 등급은 거의 유사하게 나타남을 확인하였다. 이상과 같은 결과로부터, 인공피혁 제조시 PPG+PTMG 타입의 폴리우레탄 수지를 사용하여 함침시 더 높은 색강도와 염착률을 얻을 수 있음을 알았다. 사용하는 염료의 종류를 좀 더 다양하게 하여 실험을 실시하고 폴리우레탄의 물성 및 분석 등의 추가적인 연구가 진행된다면, 인공피혁의 염색시에 발생하는 여러 가지 문제점들을 해결할 수 있을 것이다.

This study analyzed features of elements that compose a logo of inner wear brands to get the following results: First, it was found that "elegance" was the most frequently used word to express the concept of inner wear brands to be followed by words like dignity, high-end and aristocratic, words emphasizing femininity, such as feminine, romantic and sexy, words emphasizing practicality, such as convenient, practical, modern, functional and reasonable, and words emphasizing hygiene, such as clean, healthy and hygienic. This suggests that consumers nowadays pursue image more than functional aspects in the shopping of inner wear and consumers' pursuit of such values is reflected in the concept of inner wear brands. Second, unlike logos for outerwear brands that generally used initials of brand name, word-type logos for inner wear brands used the full name of brands, thus suggesting that they put more emphasis on delivery of information rather than on the symbolic aspect. In case of combining characters with concrete objects, they were found generally to use objects that give an soft, elegant and feminine image, such as flowers, woman's head and ribbons. Third, colors in the series of pink and red seemed to be used to convey the concept of inner wear brands that pursue such images as romanticism, femininity, elegance and sensibility, while colors in the series of blue, black and grey for such concepts as functionality, practicality, simplicity, health, hygiene and refinement. With reference to typeface used in the design of logos, unlike outerwear brands of which 83% use sans serif typeface for logos, relatively high percentage of inner wear was found to use typefaces of serif series to stress feminine flexibility and delicacy and give the image of elegance and classical tenderness. With reference to language used in logo naming for inner wear brands, 33 brands were found to use English and only three brands used Korean among the 36 brands surveyed. Even with inner wear brand logos that have Korean name, it was found that they used English in the use of logo marks. Like the result of previous studies, the result of this study indicates that methods to design brand logos for clothing should be incessantly sought in a way to build brand power as an important component to represent concept or function of brands and reinforce brand image.
