Nanotechnology continues to grow as an interdisciplinary technology, and many people consider it the start of a new industrial revolution. This technology deals mainly in studying materials with 1-100 nanometers in length. It is fundamentally based on the fact that some materials have properties that change drastically when the dimensions are cut down to a […]
ELECTROSPINNING PROCESS Electrospinning is from the academic as well as technical perspective presently the most versatile technique for the preparation of continuous nanofibers obtained from numerous materials including polymers, metals, and ceramics. Electrospinning is a physical process used for the formation of thin fibers in which a viscous liquid is subjected to electrical shear stress […]
When the diameter of the fibers is in the nanometer range, several amazing characteristics appear, such as the very large surface area to volume ratio, flexibility in surface functionalities, and superior mechanical performance (e.g., stiffness and tensile strength) compared with any other known form of material.
Even after the basic training, it is difficult for an average salesperson to come up with the exact measurements. It is here that the 3D technology proves to be a boon. The development of three-dimensional body-scanning technology has immense potential for use in the apparel industry, particularly for customization or mass customization strategies to be […]
Today’s fashion industry is at a crossroads. Fast fashion, the industry’s moneymaker, is heavily criticized while sustainable materials are emphasized – and all of this under the persistent craving for novelty in wear and design. Even working conditions in the fashion industry are undergoing a revolution. Whereas before, groups of designers would spend feverish hours […]
Tarpaulins are large fabric sheet of super heavy duty and reinforced, tightly woven with high fabric cover factor, flexible hard wearing, breathable water resistant or water proof, fire retardant coated material uses as protective covering against moisture.
Textile composites are fiber-reinforced composite materials. The form of textile fabric being used as reinforcement are: woven , knitted , braided. Textile-reinforced composite materials (TRCM) are part of the general class of engineering materials called composite materials. There are two categories of constituent materials: Matrix: Matrix holds the reinforcements in an orderly pattern. Reinforcement: Used […]
The Hazards and risk involved in the textile industry are high compared to other industries and in this article a series of respiratory effects and other disease patterns among textile workers in the textile industry are detailed.
It may be impossible to predict the final properties of Denim fabrics without analysing factors that influence them directly or indirectly. In this article various technical and technological parameters that are associated with Denim production are evaluated.
Mosquito repellents created with essential oils extracted from aromatic plants found to be an alternative to artificially created mosquito repellents. The article briefs how the textile substrates with mosquito repellent finish provide better protection against mosquito bites.
