This study examined the effects of the number of Dakji layer (a layer, two layers), the time of Jumchichigi (20, 40 and 60 minutes) and the type of Choji method making Dakji (Oebal-teugi, Ssangbal-teugi) on five strength properties of Jumchi-Hanji. As a result, the number of Dakji layer and the time of Jumchichigi influenced the five strength properties (tensile, wet tensile, tearing, bursting, and folding strengths). Jumchi-Hanjis made with two layers of Dakijis had higher properties than Jumchi-Hanjis with a layer of Dakji in the strength properties. The more the time for Jumchichigi is spent, the more the five strength properties of Jumchi-Hanji increased. The type of Choji was related to only three strength properties. The tearing strength of Jumchi-Hanjis with one and two layers, and the wet tensile and the folding strengths of Jumchi-Hanjis with two layers depended on the type of Choji. The differences of Jumchi-Hanji and Dakji were also identified in the strength properties. All Jumchi-Hanjis had low tensile and wet tensile strengths when compared to Dakjis. However, Jumchi-Hanjis, made by sixty minute Jumchchigi, had generally higher tearing, bursting, and folding strengths than the Dakjis. In conclusion, the strength properties of Jumchi-Hanji could be improved by controlling the number of Dakji layers and the time of Jumchichigi.

This study analyzed differences between Jumchi-Hanji papers not dyed and dyed with persimmon juice (50% concentration) in five strength properties (tensile, wet tensile, tearing, bursting, and folding strengths). For the analysis, the undyed and the dyed Jumchi-Hanji papers were made by Jumchichigi during 40 minutes and made with the Dakji of different layer (a layer, two layers) and Choji method (Oebal-teugi, Ssangbal-teugi). Differences between Jumchi-Hanji papers dyed with the different concentration of persimmon juice (20% vs 70%) in the five strengths were also identified. For this examination, Jumchi-Hanji papers were made with two layer Dakji (Oebal-teugi Choji method) and by Jumchichigi during 60 minutes. Jumchi-Hanji papers made in this study were used as test samples. As a result, Jumchi-Hanji papers dyed with persimmon juice had higher tensile strength (CD), wet tensile strength (MD, CD), and bursting strength than those of undyed Jumchi-Hanji papers. However, tearing strengths (MD, CD) of dyed Jumchi-Hanji papers were lower than undyed Jumchi-Hanji papers. Folding strengths (CD) of dyed Jumchi-Hanji papers were low but the folding strengths (MD) of them were high compared to undyed Jumchi-Hanji papers. In addition, the concentration of persimmon juice influenced the five strength properties of Jumchi-Hanji. The tensile, wet tensile, and bursting strengths of Jumchi-Hanji papers dyed with a 70% concentration were higher than those one of Jumchi-Hanji papers dyed with a 30% concentration while the tearing and folding strengths of Jumchi-Hanji papers dyed with a 70% concentration were lower than Jumchi-Hanji papers dyed with a 30% concentration.

In recent years, Jumchi-Hanji made of mulberry paper is used as a material for fashion items. This study examined the effect of the type of Choji method (Oebal-teugi or Ssangbal-teugi), layer number (one or two layers) and Jumchichigi time (20, 40, or 60 minutes) on the tensile, wet tensile, tearing and bursting strengths of Jumchi-Hanji. Jumchi-Hanjis used as test samples in this study were made from mulbery paper which was manufactured with either bleached or unbleached paper mulberry from Thailand. The results showed that Jumchi-Hanji made with two layers of mulberry papers had higher strength properties than Jumchi-Hanji made with only one layer. The strength properties of Jumchi-Hanji also increased with longer Jumchichigi time. Furthermore, this study confirmed that the effects of Jumchichigi time on Jumchi-Hanji strengths differed based on the type of Choji method, the layer number of mulberry papers used, and the specific strength property measured. Therefore, to guarantee the strength properties required by the application of Jumchi-Hanji paper as a fashion material, it is necessary to carefully consider the adequate Choji method and layer number to apply in the manufacture of Thai mulberry paper and the adequate duration time needed to perform Jumchichigi to Thai mulbery paper.
