Human resource has been realized and validated asset of organizations’ survival, growth and excellence. Modern era organizations equipped with technology, automation and state of art infrastructures find themselves helpless and shallow without high value human resource. In recent times retaining the valuable human resource, without ensuring their satisfaction towards organization, is emerging l...

An intelligent textile is a textile structure that measures and reacts in front of external agents or stimulus with or without integrated electronic equipment. . The finality of the present textile is to take one more step towards intelligent textile, considering the integration of electronics and textile needs, to be industrially viable and to keep up the necessary competitiveness, raising the...

This work shows a developed wearable elongation sensor based on an optical fiber. The presented approach to sew a fiber optic into a lycra textile enables the modulation of light amplitude in respect to textile strain. This apparatus in combination with small-size instrumentation enables the development of a wearable textile garment capable of monitoring and acquiring strain data, and send it w...

This mini review aimed at analyzing how mass customization and the Maker movement are modifying the production and consumption of textile and clothing goods. This paper focus on the consumer role in the production and consumption. Both mass customization and Maker movement propose a new role for the consumers, in which they actively participate in the construction, modification and manufacturin...

BACKGROUND Workers in cotton industry are occupationally exposed to various dust-related hazards. The nature of these agents and the respective exposure levels depend on the cotton industry specific sector. These exposures could be associated with respiratory symptoms and changes in lung function parameters. OBJECTIVE To evaluate associations between occupational exposure and respiratory func...

Ligninolytic extracellular enzymes, including lignin peroxidase, are topical owing to their high redox potential and prospective industrial applications. The prospective applications of lignin peroxidase span through sectors such as biorefinery, textile, energy, bioremediation, cosmetology, and dermatology industries. The litany of potentials attributed to lignin peroxidase is occasioned by its...

Coating and lamination are two functional processes which are used make a proper finishing to the textile material. The coating formulation with different textile grade polymer like PVC, PU, acrylic, PTFE are hugely used to make a textile product with multipurpose way likewaterproof protective clothing, tarpaulin, protective clothing, electrical insulation etc. on the other hand lamination proc...

One of the NTC goals is to strengthen the nations textile and educational efforts by uniting diverse experts and resources in unique collaborative efforts. The union of a polymer chemist, a mechanical engineer (with a textile engineering undergraduate background), a polymer physicist, and a number of researchers in the textile and processing industries to work toward the solution to an importan...

Aviation represents 12% of the CO2 emissions from all transport sources in the world. These pollutants are even stronger in their impact because they are released at high altitudes. Therefore, aeronautical companies have adopted the eco-design and PLM perspective to integrate the environmental concerns into the development of their products. PLM permits to include the environmental matters into...
