도태칠(陶胎漆)화분의 옻칠도막에 의한 수분증발량 비교 연구

Abstract

As people’s interests and concerns in indoor air quality have been increased recently, they tend to get extremely stressed while worrying about the effects onto their health. Thus, it is in the situation that there is increasing the people’s demand for finding out many kinds of solutions for a good quality of indoor air. Accordingly, people’s interests in air purification plants and the related flower pots are rapidly heightened. For cultivating plants, irrigation, fertilization, temperature and composition of air, etc. are some major important growth conditions, but it is important which kinds of pots are selected, too. The reason is because the moisture evaporation volume of a flower pot makes a big effect on the required moisture level and permeability, etc. of a plant. The pottery pots that are currently used are made of porous materials, so there are many pores into the pottery body. Thus, much loss of moisture is increased and it is quick to evaporate nutrients and moisture quickly from the soil inside a pot. The purpose of this study is to compare the moisture content of lacquered ceramic surface pots as a constituent of the garden culture that has been a part of contemporary life by supplementing its function with traditional pottery to add to the value of pots and present the beauty of Korean emotions and aesthetics every day and not just as containers for plants. A lacquering method is a technique for forming a pot shape with soil and drying it at 800℃~125 0℃ first and second times and then finishing with lacquer coating on the surface of the non-oiled pottery pot. Lacquer as a coating material is a natural material which can be used freely by using other kinds of materials and plays a role as an important medium expressing the identity of a writer through the differentiated production method of a pot while an artist pursues some diversity as many kinds of decoration techniques even in the modern era. Therefore, it is possible for lacquer to be developed as a handicraft material. Taking a look at the results from an experiment, it was found that the moisture evaporation of a lacquer coated pottery pot is suppressed more than that of a non-lacquered pottery pot by 1.84% on average in case of the first coating, by 2.85% on average in case of twice of coating and by 4.24% on average in case of three times of coating. As the results, it is hoped that a lacquered pot could coexist beautifully with the gardening culture in the lives of people and it is expected that some continuous studies could be made for seeking for some new possibilities in the domestic pot market.
