To evaluate and investigate the aging characteristics and the structural service lifetime of the CFV(carbon fiber pressure vessel), natural aging tests were carried out using the CFVs, which had been placed and aged at outdoor and indoor laboratories for 10 and 15 years, respectively. To obtain the probabilistic characteristics of ageing characteristics in aged CFVs, inner pressure loading test was conducted with ring specimens taken from aged CFVs. And, to observe the interface morphology of aged CFVs, the micro-photographs were taken by SEM microscope and the fractured interfaces between the carbon fiber and the matrix resin were scrutinized. Based on the Weibull parameters of the tensile failure strain of aged CFVs, the degradation of the 10 and the 15 year aged CFV occur by 19% and 23%, respectively, and the effect of the placement, whether being placed inside the laboratory or not, is not so significant. However, the outer layer protection, such as painting, is found very advantageous to prevent CFV from aging.

We studied the effects of genistein obtained from glycolysis of genistin, a kind of phytoestrogen present in soybeans, on cell proliferation and type I pN collagen synthesis in normal human dermal fibroblasts(NHDF). Cell proliferation was increased significantly with genistein treatment at 54-year aged NHDF. Genistein increased cell proliferation more strongly in cells form old doner than young doner. The senescence-associated ${\beta}$-galatosidase activity was decreased in NHDF from 77-year old doner with genistein treatment. Type I pN collagen synthesis was increased with genistein treatement in UVA treated and non-treated NHDF. The increasement of collagen synthesis was more effective in aged cells than young cells. Type I pN collagen synthesis was also increased with genistein treatment in collagen matrix culture with NHDF from sun-exposed and non-exposed skin from 54-year old doner. Genistein treatment inhibited MMP-1 synthesis in old NHDF but not in young NHDF. In conclusion, genistein may be a useful agent for preventing intrinsic aging as well as photoaging.

The purposes of this study are to prepare Hanji fiber-filter sheets using replacement liquid in water-swollen fiber with non-polar solvent such as ethanol, methanol and pentane. The experiments were studied on the selection of optimal non-polar solvent and the optimal drying method for wetted fiber and then were to know physicochemical characteristics of prepared Hanji fiber-filter sheet. The Ethanol as liquid changer in water-swollen fiber was excellent solvent and the optimal drying method for them was freeze drying served with vacuum pump. The bulk density and porosity of prepared fiber sheet from freeze dryer were 0.11-0.13 g/mL, half of natural dried fiber sheet, and 90%, respectively. The results of SEM observation for the fiber sheet prepared with natural drying or heating drying were shown very close structure of fiber wall in dry state. However, the freeze drying sheet were shown the open structure. So, the head loss of freeze drying sheet was very lower than natural drying and heating drying sheets. From the results of BTEX removal experiments, the sheets dried at water wetted condition was shown more higher efficiency than the fiber sheets dried at solvent wetted condition.

섬유산업은 원가 경쟁력 향상과 산업 고도화에 필요한 미래형 저에너지 염색가공 핵심 기술을 통한 고부가가치 섬유제품의 창출과 섬유산업의 선진화달성에 꾸준히 노력을 해 왔다. 염색가공업의 에너지 소비는 섬유산업에서 염색가공업이 연료 사용량의 77%, 전기사용량의 54%를 차지하여 섬유산업의 에너지절감을 위해서는 염색가공 공정에서의 에너지 절감이 가장 중요하다. 국내 염색가공 분야의 4백여 업체를 대상으로 실시한 애로 기술에 관한 설문 조사결과에 따르면 염색공업의 에너지 절약형 구조로의 전환을 위해서 가장 시급히 요구되는 우선기술 1순위는 에너지절약형 염색가공 공정기술로 에너지 절감의 필요성을 반영하고 있다. 효소(Enzyme)가 섬유산업에 도입되기 시작한 것은 면섬유의 호발에 아밀라제가 사용되기 시작하면서 부터이며, 최근 유럽선진국들의 강화된 환경규제와 눈부신 바이오테크놀러지(Biotechnology)의 발전에 기인하여 섬유산업에서 관심과 적용이 확대되고 있다. 섬유산업에서 효소적용의 장점은 효소 그 자체가 자연산물이기 때문에 생분해 되고 중성에 가까운 pH에서 반응하므로 처리액이 환경문제를 일으키지 않으며, 기질특이성을 가져 매우 선택적으로 반응하여 부반응으로 인한 섬유의 손상을 최소화 하는 효과를 들 수 있으며, 무엇보다 소량 저온반응으로 인한 에너지절감이 가장 큰 장점이라 할 수 있다. 실제 섬유산업에서는 전분호제를 제거하는 아밀라아제, 데님워싱 및 면섬유의 후가공에 사용하는 셀룰라아제, 표백 후 잔류하는 과산화수소를 제거하는 카탈라제 등을 적용하는 사례가 많아지고 있으며, 이 밖의 다양한 공정에 효소 이용연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 그 동안 섬유 업체에서 직물의 표면 잔털을 제거하여 매끄러운 외관과 선명한 색상을 재현하기위해 후가공으로 셀룰라아제를 이용했던 공정을 개선하여, 효소를 이용한 정련-Bio polishing-염색의 3공정을 1욕처리를 통해 기존 단독으로 진행되어진 기존제품과의 중량, 외관, 색상재현성, 정련성 등을 비교하여 에너지 절약형 공정기술의 효과를 극대화 해보았다.

Since natural fibers are highly flammable, it is not easy to make them flame retardant. In this study, a liquid flame retardant based on phytic acid, APTES, and Thiourea, which are flame retardant candidates derived from nature, was prepared and its performance was verified through flame retardant treatment and flame retardancy evaluation of bamboo fibers. When a liquid flame retardant is used, it is possible to treat a large amount of natural fibers with flame retardant treatment. Nine types of flame-retardant treated bamboo fibers were prepared according to the Taguchi design of experiment method. Thereafter, vertical burning test and microcalorimeter test were performed for flame retardancy evaluation, and the surface of natural fibers before and after flame-retardant treatment was compared using scanning electron microscope. The results show that phytic acid has a significant effect on improving the flame retardancy of natural fibers. Through microstructure analysis, it was assumed that the phytic acid helps flame retardant to uniformly adhere to the surface of natural fibers. If such research results are utilized, it is possible to make a large amount of natural fibers high flammability in an eco-friendly way, which is expected to be advantageous for the application of prototypes.

Electron microscopy of the tremolite-actinolite series amphiboles from the naturally occurring asbestos locality showed the morphological diversity including fibrous, acicular, and prismatic. Very thin, long, and flexible fibers of constant width form ropy bundles or mats. Acicular particles are slightly thick, long, elastic, and easily separated from the bundle of parallel rods. Acicular fragments of lower aspect ratio are formed during the crushing of the amphibole prism. Morphological features of the amphiboles are different depending on their localities and vary in a specimen. Morphological continuum between amphibole fiber and prism requires the establishment of reliable identification criterions and sample preparation protocol based on the relation between carcinogenicity and morphological features.

석면(石綿)은 말 그대로 섬유와 같은 돌을 말한다. 자연광물인 석면(Asbestos)은 그리스어의 '불멸의, 끌 수 없는'(A=Not, sbestos=quenchable)이라는 어원에서 알 수 있듯이 열에 대한 저항성이 뛰어나고 유연하다. 기원전 4~5세기경 그리스 아테네의 신전에서는 석면 심지를 사용해 불을 밝혔다고 하고, 로마시대에는 왕이 입는 옷의 재료로도 사용되었을 정도라고 한다.
