전자파 차폐직물을 활용한 임부복 개발 및 평가 : 고령 산모를 대상으로

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the maternity wear that shields electro-magnetic waves, thereby protecting aged pregnant women and babies. Electro-magnetic waves shielding textile used in this study has antibacterial and deodorizing effects, and reduced 87% of the electro-magnetic waves of a notebook computer. In addition, it remained effective even after being washed, or interlining sticked. We suggested three different types of one-piece dresses depending on how the textile was attached to the dress, namely the separated type, all-in-one type and detachable type. The separated type was designed in a way the electro-magnetic waves shielding textile was attached to the slip so that it can be used with other dresses. In all-in-one type, the textile was attached to inside of the dress. The detachable type was designed in a manner the textile can be either attached or detached from the inside of the dress by using buttons. The size of the electro-magnetic waves shielding textile was roughly from beneath the bust to the middle of the thigh. The maternity dresses were evaluated by the aged pregnant women. All-in-one type was rated the highest score in both appearance and wear evaluation. In case of the detachable type, the slip was more positively evaluated than the outerwear. There were slight differences in evaluations depending on the dress design, as far as the electro-magnetic shielding textile was concerned, it was satisfactory both in appearance and wear evaluation.
