Poly (vinyl alcohol) films, which .were annealed at various different annealing conditions, were carried out by uniaxial stretching them with free width in water and were investigated drawing behaviours and rupture phenomena. l) After dipping the specimen into the water, it took about 15 min. for the specimen's swelling to approach to equilibrium. 2) When the film annealed at $180^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. was drawn at $20^{\circ}C$. it was shown very toughness. 3) By means of birefringence measurements, the total molecular orientation of the annealed films increased until the draw ratio of 4, but drawing them above the draw ratio of 5, that of untreated films increased. 4) In the case of the mechanical properties of the drawn films. the annealed films tended to good trend for the draw ratios between 1 and 4. but drawing them above the draw ratio of 5. the untreated films tended to good trend for them.

For this, the cases of global companies integrating fashion design and technology were examined, and the types of technology integration studies within the field of fashion design were analyzed through the trend of fashion-technology integration in domestic academic circles released since 2000. According to the case of global companies integrating fashion design and technology, various companies and fashion brands have released fashion products that are integrated with technology, and such integrations are developing up to the field of fashion shows and displays in addition to fashion products. The analysis of studies related with fashion and technology in the design field showed that domestic studies on fashion-technology integration were manifested as the types that applied various technologies to the fashion design. Such types were categorized into the studies that applied light-emitting technology, studies that focused on the integration of interaction and textile design, studies that applied response-perception, studies that used attached electronic devices, and studies that used autogenic bacteria. The fashion has less negative impact on body and environment compared with other areas, and therefore, is the best area for the experiments in IT, bio, and electronics areas and for the integration of fashion and technology.

The purpose of this study was to serve as a basis for the creation of new design. For attaining the purpose, an investigation was made into the actual condition or problems of domestic and foreign fashion design, and fashion design information was acquired from the Internet. Then, taking the acquired information as the basic data for merchandising, an attempt was made to work out an outline by using the Corel-Trace program, a widely-used computer software, and to modify it by using the Corel-Draw program. The findings of this study were as below: 1) The informations provided by domestic home-pages were largely made up of fashion news and articles on the trend of fashion, but included few of picture report. Almost all of them weren't developed into a database by item or detail. The foreign fashion design web-site were numerous in number, providing diverse information. They offered not only moving images or picture report on fashion show, leading models, photo gallery or fashion trend, but up-dated data everyday. 2) A way to create a design to meet a designer's target is recommended in this study. At first, the fashion information acquired through computer network would be handled by the Corel-Trace program. After Bitmap image would be converted into Vector image, that would be modified by the Corel-Draw program to create a design to suit a designer's target.
