Nonwoven fabrics have been widely used in various fields that include household, industrial, agricultural, medical goods, especially in the automobile industry. In this study, eco-friendly fiber materials were developed and investigated as a substitute material for polyester fibers in nonwovens. To make plant fiber bundles, stems of Indian mallow (IM), and Kuzu vine (KV) were retted; in addition, the non-cellulose component was partially removed. Plant fiber bundles and polyester fibers (P) were blended and needle punched to produce nonwovens. Five kinds of nonwovens were manufactured: P100 (Polyester 100%), IM10 (IM 10% and Polyester 90%), IM20 (IM 20% and Polyester 80%), KV10 (KV 10% and Polyester 90%), and KV20 (KV 20% and Polyester 80%). The color values, surface appearance, tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, abrasion strength, flexstiffness, moisture regain, water or oil absorbency, and static electricity of manufactured nonwovens are investigated. As the blended ratios of IM or KV increased, the brightness of nonwovens decreased compared to that of polyester 100%. Tensile strength, tear strength, abrasion strength, and flexstiffness of IM10 as well as KV10 were higher than those of P100, IM20, and KV20, resulting from the influence of the structure and properties of nonwoven fibers. Moisture regain and water or oil absorbency increased, while static electricity decreased in proportion to the amount of plant fibers. IM or KV and polyester blended nonwovens showed improved properties over P100 that could be substituted for P100 as a novel material for textiles.

The experimental investigating is mainly focused on the hole machining characteristics of glass fiber reinforced polyester at different surface conditions, cutting conditions and machining methods. The entrance and exit surface holes of the glass fiber reinforced polyester is observed and the surface photographs of drilled holes is showed. The cutting force is also measured.

For the purpose of development of polymeric material for marine applications, the effects of silica and chopped glass fiber on tensile strength of polyester resin were studied. A series of experiments were performed with different contents of silica and chopped glass fiber. Tensile strength of polyester resin was increased with the contents of unmodified glass fiber, and decreased with that of silica. The surfaces of silica and chopped glass fiber were modified with coupling agent at different concentrations, and the modification showed positive effect on the increase of tensile strength of polyester resin. Synergistic effect on the tensile strength of polyester resin was observed by modified silica and chopped glass fiber.

Polyester Filament Flat Yam의 경우 현재 Dope Dyed Yarn을 주로 사용하고 있지만 색상발현의 한계성으로 오랫동안 일반염색을 위해 연구하였지만 해결하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. Polyester Filament Flat Yarn의 선염이 어려운 이유는 Winding에서 치밀한 사층구조로 염료가 침투할 수 없이 치밀하게 되어 있기 때문이다. 특히 사의 이러한 치밀한 사층구조 때문에 염액침투가 어렵고, Soft Winding을 하면 미끄러짐 현상으로 사층의 붕괴가 일어나기 쉽고, Pirn Winding의 경우는 사층의 안전한 유지는 가능하지만 사층의 밀도가 높아서 염액의 순환이 순조롭지 못한 단점이 있다.

The characteristics of self-compacting concrete (SCC) made with fly ash and reinforced with polyester fibers were investigated in this research. Polyester fibers of 12 mm long and 15 micrometer diameters were utilized in M40 grade SCC mixtures at five different volume fractions 0.025%, 0.05%, 0.075%, 0.1%, 0.3% as a fiber reinforcement. To understand the influence of polyester fibers on passing ability, flowability, segregate resistance the J ring, L box, V funnel, slump flow and U box tests were performed. Polyester fibers have a direct influence, with a maximum of 0.075% polyester fibers producing excellent characteristics. ANN models were constructed using the testing data as inputs to anticipate the fresh and hardened characteristics as targeted outputs. The research revealed that R² values ranging from 0.900 to 0.997 appears to be a good correlation. The performance of ANN models and regression models for predicting the new characteristics of SCC is also evaluated.

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.

A pyrolysis gas-chromatographic method (Py-GC) was utilized for the identification as well as the content measurement of textile materials. Py-GC was applied to natural cotton fiber, synthetic polyester fiber, and their blended fabrics. The characteristic peaks originated from thermally decomposed products were observed, and the area of peak increased with the content of polyester. The products of pyrolized polyester were identified as benzoic acid terephthalic acid, and vinyl benzoic acid, which were characterized by mass spectrometry. This analytic method of offered a quantitative means to identify the content of cotton and polyester.

This study was conducted to manufacture the soluble micro-fiber and to synthesize low melting polymer for the interior fabric not to use the polyurethane resin causing some problems. Low melting polyester for weft yarn was introduced by adding 30-40 mol% ratio of isophthalic acid to a main chain of polyethylene terephthalate to decrease the melting temperature up to heat setting temperature. Micro-fiber for warp yarn consisted of both soluble and insoluble components with multi-layered structure. When the soluble micro-fiber was treated by alkaline hydrolysis with 3-5% concentration of NaOH, it showed the turning point at 28% weight loss since soluble polyester was hydrolyzed approximate five times faster than regular polyester.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the dyeability of polyester(PET) fabric by thermal bonding with low melting component of bicomponent fiber and to describe the change of physical properties of thermal bonded PET fabrics. The PET fabrics were prepared with regular PET fiber as warp and bicomponent fiber as weft. The bicomponent fiber of sheath-core type was composed with a regular PET core and low melting PET sheath. The thermal bonding of PET fabric was carried out in pin tenter($195^{\circ}C$) for 60 seconds. In this study, we investigated the dye ability and fastness of the dyed PET fabric. Dye ability of E-type dyestuff is higher than S-type dyestuff. In the case of E- type dyestuff, the saturated dyeing time was 10minutes at $130^{\circ}C$. The washing fastness and light fastness were excellent as 4-5grade.

Two reactive disperse dyes having $\alpha$-bromoacrylamide or acrylamide group were synthesized and their dyeing properties were compared with a disperse dye. Dyeing properties of reactive disperse dyes were strongly influenced by the chemical structure of reactive group. The amount of absorbed reactive disperse dye containing $\alpha$-bromoacrylamide group on polyester fiber was less than the disperse dye, and that on nylon fiber was much higher. When polyester and nylon fiber were simultaneously dyed in a dye pot, nylon fiber absorbed the reactive disperse dye more than polyester fiber. The reactive disperse dye having acrylamide group could reduces difference in color depth to a large extent, but the application of carrier or variation of dyebath pH were not sufficient for giving the same color depth to both fibers. The N/P union fabric could be dyed with the reactive disperse dye and its wash fastness were good to excellent.
