The purpose of this study is to propose the most suitable sewing method to produce wetsuits using neoprene fabric. To construct a sewing method sample using neoprene fabric, the samples were prepared using two thicknesses (1.5 t and 3 t) of neoprene fabric. Sewing techniques comprised 10 different methods. The respective seam strengths (KSK 0530) and water resistance (KSK ISO 811) of each sample were measured. The results from the tests conducted using 10 sewing methods revealed that the seam strength of 466.7 N was the highest in the prototype constructed using zigzag and flatlock stitches on 1.5 t. The other samples had seam strengths of approximately 400 N, except for that sewn with straight stitch (113.3 N). For 3 t, the sample sewn using zigzag and flatlock stitches with seam sealing (653.3 N) had the highest strength, and the remaining samples had seam strengths of approximately 630 N, except the sample sewn with straight stitch (164.6 N). Significant factors affecting the seam strength were fabric thickness and the sewing method. Meanwhile, glue and blind stitch with seam sealing had the highest value for water resistance: 414.4 mH2O for 1.5 t and 987.6 mH2O for 3 t. The lowest values were revealed in samples sewn with zigzag and flatlock stitch 14.4 mH2O for 1.5 t and overlock stitch 13.3 mH2O for 3 t. Significant factors affecting water resistance were whether seam sealing was attached and the sewing method used. The expected result of this study, which tests the properties of two neoprene fabric thicknesses with 10 sewing methods, is the suggestion of the most appropriate sewing method for use in the production of a wet suit.

潜水服泡沫材料密封技术的改进研究

这项研究的目的是提出最合适的缝纫方法，以使用氯丁橡胶织物生产潜水服。为了使用氯丁橡胶织物构造缝纫方法样品，使用两种厚度（1.5吨和3吨）的氯丁橡胶织物制备样品。缝纫技术包括10种不同的方法。测量每个样品各自的接缝强度（KSK 0530）和耐水性（KSK ISO 811）。使用10种缝纫方法进行的测试结果表明，在1.5 t上使用之字形和平锁针迹构造的原型中，接缝强度最高，为466.7N。其他样品的接缝强度约为400 N，但采用直针缝制的接缝强度（113.3 N）除外。对于3吨，使用之字形缝线和平缝线缝密封缝制（653.3 N）的样品强度最高，其余样品的接缝强度约为630 N，但采用直针迹缝制的样品（164.6 N）除外。影响接缝强度的重要因素是织物厚度和缝合方法。同时，具有接缝密封的胶水和盲缝的耐水性最高：1.5吨为414.4 mH2O，3吨为987.6 mH2O。在缝制曲折缝和平锁针迹14.4 mH2O 1.5吨，包缝针迹13.3 mH2O 3吨的样品中发现了最低值。影响耐水性的重要因素是是否进行了接缝密封以及所使用的缝纫方法。这项研究的预期结果是使用10种缝合方法测试两种厚度的氯丁橡胶织物的性能，这是用于生产潜水服的最合适缝合方法的建议。
