Temporarily solubilized reactive disperse dyes containing ${\beta}$-sulfatoethylsulfonyl group were applied to 100% meta-aramid knitted fabric and their dyeing properties were investigated. Reactive disperse dyes showed relatively high K/S values on meta-aramid fabric when compared with conventional disperse dye or reactive dye, which showed very low K/S values. Color yields of reactive disperse dyes were highly dependent on dyeing pH and optimum results were obtained at pH 6. Percent exhaustion of reactive disperse dye on meta-aramid fabric was over 80% at 2% o.w.f of dye concentration. Wash fastness of pyridone-based reactive disperse dyes was very good to excellent while that of aminoazobenzene reactive disperse dyes was medium to good. Light fastness of all the reactive disperse dyes was very poor which seems to be due to the low photostability of meta-aramid fiber itself.

Meta-aramid fabric has been widely used as the reinforcement of composites due to its high flame resistance and tearing strength. Functionality such as abrasion resistance of fabric is very important for specialty fabrics used in car racing suits. In this study, to improve abrasion resistance property of meta-aramid fabric, silicon deposition was conducted by utilizing RF magnetron sputtering. The sputtering process parameters effects were investigated as sputtering power and substrate temperature. The obtained results suggest that the silicon deposition on the meta-aramid fabric has obvious effect upon increasing the abrasion resistance, the thermal insulation and the electric resistance condition for silicon deposition was established. In conclusion, the results of this study have made it possible to manufacture meta-aramids with higher abrasion strength.

A diblock copolymer($PEO_{45}$-MeDMA) derived from [2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride(MeDMA) was synthesized and applied to the meta-aramid fibers. Meta-aramid fabric was pretreated with $PEO_{45}$-MeDMA and successfully dyed with acid dyes. The dyeability of this fabric was investigated and found to depend on the $PEO_{45}$-MeDMA concentration, pH, and dye concentration. The color fastness properties of the copolymer pretreated dyed fabric was evaluated.

Most of high performance fabrics for the car racing protective clothing have been developed to have thermal resistance, flame retardant property, impact resistance and anti-frictional properties to protect the racer from the crucial accident. In this study, the meta-aramid fabric, which has inherent flame retardant, was coated with nanoparticles of SiC to enhance the impact resistance and anti-friction properties. Uniform coating of the nanoparticles onto the fabrics was obtained by using tape casting method. As the experimental parameters, size and content of the SiC nanoparticle were varied with the coating conditions of the fabric surface. The effects of the nanoparticle coating on the properties of meta-aramid fabric were examined with various instrumental analyses such as SEM, tensile strength and abrasion test.

Heat and flame protecting cloth is usually made of meta aramid fiber because of its own properties. But the high inter molecular hydrogen bonding and high Tg is the reason of the difficulty to dye meta aramid fiber. Recently, it was commercialized that the easily dyeable meta aramid fiber(AMD) for improving dyeability. In this study, the dyeing properties of AMD dyed with cationic dyes were investigated. The K/S values of AMD were 5~10% higher than these of general meta aramid fiber(AM) in the case of 1%owf caused by the lower crystallinity of AMD. The difference between K/S values of AMD and AM was increased as increasing dyeing concentration. The washing and rubbing fastness grade of AM and AMD were similar and good to very good.

Aramid fabrics were photooxidized by UV/$O_3$ irradiation. The UV irradiation caused the oxygen content of the aramid fabric surface to increase and reduced the surface zeta potential, coupled with improved water wettability. The modified aramid fabrics showed higher affinity to cationic dyes which may be resultd from the newly introduced electrostatic interaction between cationic dyes and anionic dyeing sites on the photooxidized surface layers. Although color fastness to both staining and rubbing were good to excellent, color fastness to shade change was moderate.

Recently, the importance of GDI and diesel engine noise reduction is required, so newly designed components very close to noise sources are added in order to maximize the sound absorbing performances. In this study, the high temperature resistant part made with meta-Aramid nonwoven, which was applicable for high temperature applications of about $200^{\circ}C$ or more, such as engines and exhaust systems, was developed. And three-dimensional shaped component was successfully fabricated, and it was observed high temperature resistance of $260^{\circ}C$, lightweight properties and the noise was decreased by 1.0 dB with 70 g of product.

The near infrared ray camouflage fabric has a near infrared ray reluctance similar to the surrounding environment and has a camouflage effect on the surrounding environment. Synthetic fibers used in military uniforms are difficult to have gastrointestinal function as general commercial dyes, unlike cellulose fibers, which use some commercial vat dyes to impart infrared gastrointestinal function. In this study, we optimized the adsorption pH, temperature and time for NIR dye application for polyester fabrics, and established the optimum concentration for the evaluation of adsorption build-up characteristics. In addition, it is difficult to adsorb it since the polyester material has a dense crystal structure and the NIR dye is bulky. Therefore, a swelling agent used for dyeing meta-aramid fibers with high Tg and high crystallinity was introduced as a separate preparation to increase the affinity to polyester, which is a hydrophobic fiber, to thereby obtain an excellent adsorption rate. As a result of comparing before and after using swelling agent, the adsorption rate difference was 10 times or more when compared with before.
