1.1 Textile industry Textile industry is the largest industrial employer in the country, contributing to 6% GDP (Gross domestic product), 16% of export and about 18% of industrial production. The textile industry plays an important role in Indian economy. It contributes to 9% of excise collection, 30% of export revenue and 18% of employment in industrial sector. Since global trade in textile an...

Polyethersulfone (PES)-based anion exchange blend membranes were prepared from quaternized-PES (Q-PES) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) casting solutions with water as coagulant via non-solvent induced phase inversion. The compatibility of the blend system was investigated through thermodynamic studies while membrane formation was determined using the cloud point techni...

Information on the preparation and properties of starch/gelatin blend microparticles with and without crosslinking for drug delivery is presented. The blend microparticles were prepared by the water-in-oil emulsion solvent diffusion method. Glutaraldehyde and methylene blue were used as the crosslinker and the water-soluble drug model, respectively. The blend microparticles were characterized b...

All textile industries aim to produce competitive fabrics. The competition enhancement depends mainly on productivity and quality of the fabrics produced by each industry. In the textile sector, there have been an enlarge amount of losses due to faulty fabrics. In the Least Development Countries (LDC) like Bangladesh, whose 25% revenue earning is achieved from textile export, most defects arisi...

Today is the era of value added textiles. The people like to have comfortable dressing in addition aesthetic quality. Comfort key factor all kinds fabrics especially for knitted fabric and has a significant role their selection. Generally comfort properties are related its thermal moisture transmission behavior. depends upon many factors fibre types blend ratios; pretreatment, dyeing finishing ...

Textile composites describe a broad range of polymer composite materials with textile reinforcements, from woven and non-crimp commodity fabrics to three dimensional textiles. In a general manner textile composites are based on textile preforms manufactured by some textile processing technique and on some resin infiltration and consolidation technique. Due to the complex three-dimensional struc...

The objective was to examine whether the observed excess mortality from anaemia in textile and clothing workers was associated with any specific anaemia type or occupational activity. The design was a death certificate based case-control study of textile and clothing workers who died in England and Wales in the years surrounding the decennial censuses of 1961, 1971, and 1981. The main outcome m...

Electronic textiles (e-textiles) are emerging as a novel method for constructing electronic systems in wearable and large area applications. This new type of processing system merges textile and electronic technologies. This paper studies the communication requirements between the computing and sensing elements of an e-textile. This communication is studied through the construction of a prototy...
