한지사/폴리에스테르 합연사를 이용한 발가락 양말의 제조와 특성평가

Abstract

Recently, there has been an increase of attention to functional socks as well as foot health and well-being life. Especially, the consumption of toe socks worn by people suffering from itchy toes and athlete's foot, regardless of its quaint appearance, is continuously on an increasing tendency. In order to easily conduct knitting process and to commercialize high-functional toe socks, in the present study, the plied yarn(Hanji paper yarn/ nano silver polyester filament yarn) was prepared and applied to the production of four kinds of toe socks. The synergistic effects of the plied yarn were expected to be excellent to the socks materials. In comparison with commercializing cotton toe socks, its marketability could be evaluated by knitting efficiency, tensile property, abrasion strength, color fastness, and functional property such as antibiotic and deodorant property. Also we offered a new optimum condition, the selection of yarn for the inner and outer stitch, in the development of high-functional toe socks.
