Addressing the environmental impact of textile waste, this study explores upcycling as a sustainable fashion solution, particularly focusing on the upcycling of discarded fishing nets, which are a significant source of marine pollution. In 2018, South Korea alone produced 193.3 tons of clothing waste, refelcting a global trend, where textile waste exceedsed 92 million tons. The research methodology involved a literature review and case studies on upcycled fashion, focusing on discarded fishing nets. Designs for three outfits targeting women in their twenties were proposed and a survey was carried out to assess the their perception of upcycled fashion and the design's appeal and practicality. Under the theme, 'Marine Spirit,' the study aimed to raise awareness of marine pollution, drawing inspiration from the ocean's vibrant life. The designs diverge from the monotonous 'Casual Glam' trend, and incorporate vivid colors and asymmetrical structures for visual appeal. The practical application of fishing nets varied across the pieces, serving as fillers in transparent PVC padded coats and decorative elements in skirts and puff dresses. The distinctive properties of fishing nets provide a unique aesthetic, which resonated well with the target audience. Despite challenges in adopting eco-friendly dyeing methods and assessing mass production feasibility, the study underscores the need for continued research in sustainable textile processing. The study reaffirms the importance of sustainable fashion, highlighting the creative potential of fishing nets as a material.

Recently, study of functional clothing for vital sensing is focused on improving conductivity and decreasing resistance, in order to enhance the electrocardiogram(ECG) sensing accuracy and obtained stable environmental durability on operation condition. In this study, four ECG fabrics that having different componnt yarns and weaving structures were produced to analyze their environmental durabilities and electric properties under general operation conditions including different physical and chemical stimulation. For outstanding electric properties and physical properties, the optimized ECG sensing fabric should consist of a fabric of 2 up 3 down twill structure containing 210de silver-coated conductive yarns and polyester yarn in warp and weft directions respectively. The selected fabric has $0.11{\Omega}$ which is relative lower resistance than otherwisely produced fabrics under ECG measurement condition. And it has 7% stable resistance changes under 25% strain and repeated strain.

The crystal structures of Nylon 6 films with the changes of pressure, temperature, and the processing time were examined. The accompanying physical property changes such as the weight fraction, the crystallinity, the crystal size, the initial modulus, and the thermal properties, gives the following results. When the sample is processed at 16$0^{\circ}C$, the weight fraction is not changed significantly with varying pressure. However, at 18$0^{\circ}C$ a significant change of the weight fraction was found with increasing pressure above 5 ton/in$^{2}$ so as to increase the crysallinity. As long as the ct transition is concerned we found that it begins from 14$0^{\circ}C$ and is completed at 18$0^{\circ}C$ and 9 ton/$in^{2}$ of pressure with the processing time of 120 min. The increase of the initial modulus is believed to be due to the increase of the number of the tie chains and the tension resulting from the change of the crystal size in the direction perpendicular to the direction of the applied pressure. The meltiong point change is due to the pressurized crystallization was not observed.

To reduce the dependence of wool dyeing on the temperature several solvents with different properties and structures were added to the dye bath of C. I. Acid Yellow 42. Nearly the same total solubility parameters(${\delta}_t$) of solvents as those of wool fiber and hydrophobic part of the dyestuff were needed to increase disaggregation of dye molecules, loosening the wool fiber and wickabilty of dyeing solution; besides, the large surface tension(${\gamma}$) value of the solvents and the well balanced values of the three-component Hansen solubility parameters such as dispersion(${\delta}_d$), polar(${\delta}_p$), and hydrogen(${\delta}_h$) bonding parameters were required. Among the added solvents dimethyl phthalate(DMP) and acetophenone(AP) were satisfied with these conditions and worked the most successfully in the low temperature wool dyeing. Their effectiveness proven by the dyeing rate and the activation energy ($E_a$) of the dyeing was in the order of DMP > AP > DBE > CH > M >NONE. In conclusion the total solubility parameters(${\delta}_t$), the three-component Hansen parameters and the surface tension(${\gamma}$) of DMP and AP could be the guidelines to select suitable solvents for low temperature wool dyeing.

운동화 안감으로 사용되는 부드러운 천연 가죽의 내부 구조 및 쾌적성과 유사하게 개발한 3종류의 편성포에 관하여 수분 전달 능력을 비교 측정하였다. 편성포 표면에 이면으로 땀액의 이동성을 측정하기 위하여 새로운 실험 절차를 고안하여 측정한 결과, 편성포에 가한 압력은 수분 이동 능력에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그러나 편성포의 기모가 있는 표면과 기모가 없는 이면의 수분 이동 능력이 달랐고, 3종류중 한 편성포에서는 표면의 기모는 수분전달을 저하시켰다. 표면은 기모, 이면은 평편조직으로 두껍고 무거운 편성포의 수분전달이 가장 좋았고 이 편성포와 같은 조직이면서 두께와 중량이 적은 편성포는 수분전달이 감소되었다. 수분이동 능력을 향상시키기 위하여 편성포의 섬유와 구조를 고려할 때 기모량은 중간 정도이고 기모된 표면을 수분에 접하도록 하는 것이 바람직하다. 이렇게 함으로서 더 효과적인 수분 이동이 이루어져서 피부 표면에서 땀증발이 좋았다. 이 연구에 사용된 실험 방법은 편성포의 수분 이동 체계에 관한 이해 증진에 기여할 수 있다고 본다.

This paper proposes a numerical optimization method to design the mesoscale architecture of textile composite for simultaneously enhancing mechanical and thermal properties, which compete with each other making it difficult to design intuitively. The base cell of the periodic warp and fill yarn system is served as the design space, and optimal fibre yarn geometries are found by solving the optimization problem through the proposed method. With the help of homogenization method, analytical formulae for the effective material properties as functions of the geometry parameters of plain-woven textile composites were derived, and they are used to form the inverse homogenization method to establish the design problem. These modules are then put together to form a multiobjective optimization problem, which is formulated in such a way that the optimal design depends on the weight factors predetermined by the user based on the stiffness and thermal terms in the objective function. Numerical examples illustrate that the developed method can achieve reasonable designs in terms of fibre yarn paths and geometries.

The geothermal energy have been developed as the pro-environmental and the substantial long-term energy. Recently energy foundations and other thermo-active ground structures have been developed to enhance the use of geothermal energy. In this research, a tunnel wall is focused as a source of geothermal energy. If the tunnel wall can be used for geothermal source, it can provide relatively lower cost because it is not necessary to make a deep borehole like in case of closed-loop vertical ground heat exchanger. For analyzing efficiency of heat exchanger in tunnel, laboratory tests and the numerical analyses are performed.
