한지사(韓紙絲) 양말의 제조와 특성 평가

Abstract

Hanji paper yarn has attracted considerable attention as a well-being textile material, as well as being used in many fashion materials. However, Hanji paper yarn has poor flexibleness, low elongation, and a rough surface leading to yarn breakage in the knitting process such as in the production of socks and inner wear. To improve the disadvantageous properties of the yarn, in this study, plied yarn with nano silver filament yarn was prepared and applied to sock production. Compared with cotton socks, the wear trial and toughness such as tensile property and abrasion strength of Hanji socks were inferior, but these problems can be solved. On the evaluation of antibiotic and deodorant efficiency, Hanji socks showed relatively good values and especially better value to the sports socks rather than men's socks. Also Hanji socks were excellent in the color fastness as a grade 4～5 in washing, rubbing, and perspiration, but were a grade 4 to light resistance which is not an important factor to commercialization. By reinforcing other yarn to the outer stitch of the foot part and substituting an antibiotic covered yarn(nano silver filament yarn/spandex) for conventional covered yarn, the optimum knitting conditions for eco-friendly and functional Hanji socks can be newly presented.
