This study investigates the recognition and preference of functional textile material about outdoor clothing widely used in the current fashion market. The study targeted 216 males and females in their 20s to 50s who wear outdoor clothing as casual wear. To analyze data, frequency analysis, cross tabulation analysis and ANOVA were conducted with the SPSS 21.0 statistical package. The results are as follows. First, recognition of functional textile material of outdoor clothing showed that 20s was the lowest preference and all age groups preferred lightweight textile material. In information recognition of functional outdoor clothing, 40s showed the highest recognition, while 20s showed the lowest recognition. Second, 40s and 50s preferred functional material to 20s and 30s. In particular, 40s and 50s preferred clothing items with water vapor permeability & water repellent material to 20s and 30s. All age groups preferred insulation material jumpers, water vapor permeability & water repellent material jumpers and stretch pants. Third, reasons for purchasing functional material clothing was: design for the age group 20s and 30s versus health and function for the age group 40s and 50s. It is necessary to develop functional clothing products based on exact consumer information and preferences.

Edible biopolymer films were developed from hijiki ($Hizikia$ $fusiforme$), using a high-pressure homogenization (HPH). Effects of pressure and pass number of HPH on color, tensile, moisture barrier properties, flavor profiles, and microstructure of hijiki films were investigated. A hydrocolloid of hijiki was processed by HPH at 69, 103, or 152 MPa with 1, 2, or 3 passes. A hijiki-base film was formed by drying a film-forming solution which was prepared by mixing of the HPH-processed suspension with glycerol and Polysorbate 20. Tensile strength and elastic modulus increased with increasing HPH pressure. Uniformity of the films increased as the pressure of HPH with 1 pass increased and the number of pass increased at 152 MPa. Water vapor permeability ($2.1-3.3g{\cdot}mm/kPa{\cdot}h{\cdot}m^2$) and water solubility (0.4-1.0%), which are relatively low compared to those of many other edible films, show the potential that hijiki-base films are applied to the range of low to intermediate moisture food as wrapping or coating.

Hydrophilic reactive hot-melt polyurethane adhesive(HRHA) using a hydrophilic polyol having different molecular weight and NCO index was synthesized. This HRHA was synthesized using Polyethylene glycol(PEG) as a hydrophilic polyol, Polypropylene glycol(PPG) and Polycaprolactone diol(PCL) as hydrophobic polyols, and Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate(MDI) as an isocyanate. The changes in IR spectrum, viscosity and thermal properties of HRHA with different PEG molecular weights and NCO index were investigated, and the tensile strength and elongation of the HRHA casting film and the peel strength, moisture permeability and water pressure of the HRHA coated fabric were confirmed. In this experiment, as the molecular weight of PEG and NCO index increased, the adhesive strength, tensile strength, elongation and moisture permeability was increased but viscosity and Tg was decreased.

In this paper, we have fabricated $SiO_2$ oxidation thin films by HDP-CVD(high density plasma-chemical vapor deposition) method for passivation layer or barrier layer of OLED(organic light emitting diode). We have control and estimate the deposition rate and relative index characteristics with process parameters and get optimized conditions. They are gas flow rate($SiH_4:O_2$=30:60[sccm]), 70 [mm] distance from source to substrate and no-bias. The WVTR(water vapor transmission rate) is 2.2 [$g/m^2$_day]. Therefore fabricated thin film can not be applied as passivation layer or barrier layer of OLED.

In this study, four kinds of vapor-permeable waterproofed fabrics were selected and their properties and the changes of properties were investigated after laundering, petroleum drycleaning or tetrachloroethylene drycleaning (each 1, 5, 10 times). The results were as follows: 1) In the water resistance, only Gore Tex satisfied its minimum property requirements, $1.0kg/cm^2$ It decreased after laddering and drycleaning. Hipora-1000, Hipora-2000, Aitac decreased slightly by petroleum drycleaning and Gore Tex decreased slightly by all three methods. 2) In the moisture vapor transmission, three except Hipora-2000 satisfied its minimum property requirement, $4000g/m^2{\cdot}24hr$.24hr. After laundering and drycleaning, it increased regardless of cleaning methods. 3) In the water repellency, Hipora-lOOG, Hipora-2000 were not almost decreased after laundering and drycleaning. Aitac decreased slightly by petrolem drycleaning and Gore Tex decreased slightly by laundering and petroleum drycleaning. 4) Air permeability of Aitac increased with increasing of cleaning times regardless of cleaning methods. 5) In the bond strength, only Gore Tex dissatisfied its minimum property requirements, 250g/cm. Regardless of cleaning method, bond strength decreased with increasing of cleaning times. 6) Color difference was large in case of Hipora-1000 by laundering, Hipora-2000 by laundering and tetrachloroethylene drycleaning Aitac by tetrachloroethylene drycleaning, Gore Tex by laundering. To diminish property change of vaper-permeable waterproofed fabric, petroleum drycleaning is more effective than laundering and tetrachloroethylene drycleaning.

In this study, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)-1-propanesulfonic acid (THS-PSA) was added to poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes crosslinked with poly(styrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) (PSSA_MA) to improve the separation characteristics toward water vapors in the air. The prepared membranes varying both PSSA_MA and THS-PSA amounts were also synthesized at different cross linking temperatures. Then, in order to investigate the separation characteristics of the resulting membranes, the dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) and vapor permeation experiments were carried out. The increase of cross-linking temperature showed longer time to reach the equilibrium sorption state from the dynamic vapor sorption experiments. PVA/PSSA_MA (3%)/THA-PSA(7%) prepared at $120^{\circ}C$ gave the highest permeability of 480 barrer at $35^{\circ}C$.

Military textiles with breathable waterproof materials are expanding as form of winter clothes. Waterproof moisture-permeable clothes are very important for soldiers to survive in cold weather operations because they prevent loss of body heat from the penetration of water into the human body. Korea military uses the water resistance and moisture permeability to test the performance of waterproof moisture-permeable materials. Moisture permeability is measured according to the amount of evaporated water vapor passing through a fabric under specified temperature and humidity by using acetic acid potassium presented in KS K 0594. However, the test procedure for measuring the moisture permeability in the standard is presented only briefly and the preparation procedures for the test in accredited testing institutions are applied differently, leading to significant deviation of the results. This paper compares the procedures of testing institutions and examines the factors that affect moisture permeability. Finally, we propose a procedure to reduce the deviation of results and apply the proposed procedure in testing institutions. Our analysis results with one-way ANOVA under significant level (0.05) confirm that the deviation of results is reduced.

Glucomannan was isolated from konjac (Amorphophallus konjac) flour by precipitating in aqueous alcohol solution. Konjac glucomannan films were prepared at various concentrations up to 1.0% (w/v) in aqueous glycerol solutions. Tensile strength (TS), percent elongation (E), water vapor permeability (WVP) as the barrier property and the solubility of the films were varied with glucomannan concentrations, glycerol contents and storage humidities. TS was decreased as the glucomannan concentration in the film and relative humidity for storage increased, and E was vice versa. WVP showed better barrier properties compared with other polysaccharides films. Glycerol contents in the film significantly affccted TS and E, but did not affect WVP. The glucomannan films were completely dissolved in the water by 150 min stirring at room temperature.

Edible films were developed from defatted soybean meal (DSM), a byproduct from the soy product industry, investigating the effects of the concentrations of DSM and glycerol and the treatment of high pressure homogenization (HPH) on color, water vapor permeability, and tensile properties of the films. The physical properties of the developed films (DSM films) were compared to those of the films made of soy proteins isolated from the DSM. DSM films were obtained by drying film-forming solutions prepared with DSM powder, glycerol, and water and with and without HPH at 152 MPa. HPH resulted in the formation of continuous and uniform films. Water vapor permeability of the films increased with increase in the concentration of glycerol and decreased by high pressure homogenization. The increase in the glycerol concentration in the film-forming solution prepared without HPH decreased the tensile strength and elastic modulus of the films. However, this effect was not observed with the HPH-treated solution. DSM films possessed higher tensile strength and percentage elongation than the film of soy protein, implying the potential for the DSM film to be applied to food product as an edible film.
