Effect of Modifications on Dyeing Behaviour and Tenacity of Rajshahi Silk Fabric Dyed with Reactive Brown 10 and Direct Orange 31 Dyes
A. Nayeem Faruqui, R.K. SheikhAn improved multivoltine variety of Rajshahi silk fabric is used as material for investigation. This fabric is degummed to remove sericin, as sericin is soluble in hot water and…
Alkali-catalyzed Crosslinking of a New Wheat Gluten Fiber and the Effect of Crosslinking Parameters on Its Mechanical Properties
Ying Li, Steven S. Hepperle, Yiqi YangAlthough new wheat protein fibers have been reported to be crosslinked to obtain good mechanical properties, the effect of formaldehyde-free chemical crosslinking conditions on…
An Approach to Seam Strength Prediction Using Residual Thread Strength
Vinay Kumar Midha, A Mukhopadhyay, Ramanpreet KaurOwing to a high amount of stress, seam failure in workwear fabrics makes the fabric unsuitable although the fabric strength is high. It is therefore important to predict the seam…
Intelligent Settings Using Artificial Intelligence at Auto-leveling Drawing Frame
Farooq Assad, C. CherifThe optimization of a process requires exact knowledge of the process, which is knowledge of correlations and inter-dependence between the process-determining variables and the…
Influence of Polyester Fibre Fineness and Cross-Sectional Shapes on Tensile Properties of Yarns
V K Kothari, S Dhamija, R K VarshneyMechanical properties of 100% polyester and polyester-viscose (P/V) blended yarns produced from polyester fibres which vary in denier and cross-sectional shape have been analyzed…
Effect of Gamma Radiation on Dyeing of Cotton Fabric with Reactive Blue 13
Iram Batool, Ijaz Ahmad Bhatti, Shahid Adeel, Muhammad AbbasThe effect of gamma radiation on the dyeing of cotton with Reactive Blue 13 dye powder has been investigated. The cotton and dye powder are irradiated to absorb doses of 100, 200…
