A novel method for biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using a polyphenolic pigment (melanin) has been proposed to impart antimicrobial properties to wool fabric. A diphenolic catechol has been combined with potato juice to produce melanin, which is used as a simultaneous reducing and dispersing agent for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The process variables used for the synthesis of melanin

Development of fabric smoothness tester Indian J. Fibre Text. Res. (IF 0.449) Pub Date : 2020-06-22 M S Parmar; Nidhi Sisodia; Maheshwar Singh
An instrument has been designed and developed to measure the smoothness behavior of finished cotton fabrics. The instrument is based on pendulum principle. The weight (hang on string) comprises a frictionless wheel movable along arc shaped platform. The platform acts as a sample holder. When the weight is subjected to push, it swings back and forth in the platform. The amplitude of the swing reduces

Antimicrobial silver coating using PVD-PECVD system Indian J. Fibre Text. Res. (IF 0.449) Pub Date : 2020-06-22 Everton Diniz dos Santos; Gerson R Luqueta; Julia M A Abdala; Rajasekaran Ramu; Elisa Esposito; Leandro B Rezende; Lucia Vieira; Milton B (Jr)
Physical Vapor Deposition - Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PVD-PECVD) systems are used exclusively for deposition and doping of carbonaceous films. However, this technique presents promising characteristics for the deposition of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) on textiles, which meet the industrial demand for a more versatile and efficient methodology than the Magnetron Sputtering (MS) technique

Enhancing electro conductivity, antibacterial and UV blocking of cotton fabric by using graphene/zirconium dioxide nano composite Indian J. Fibre Text. Res. (IF 0.449) Pub Date : 2020-06-22 Mahsa Mohamadiyan; Salar Zohoori; Abolfazl Davodiroknabadi
Nano composite of graphene/zirconium dioxide has been produced and then coated on the surface of cotton fabric. Scanning electron microscope and transmittance electron microscope of sample prove the existence of nano zirconium dioxide distribution on the surface of cotton fabric. Results show that the electrical conductivity of treated sample has increased in comparison with sample without graphene/zirconium

Effect of drying on tensile properties and structure of tasar and muga silk Indian J. Fibre Text. Res. (IF 0.449) Pub Date : 2020-06-22 Subrata Das
Tasar and muga silk yarns have been dried at 80ºC, 100ºC and 140ºC and the effect of temperature on tensile and structural properties is investigated. No significant effect of drying on tenacity of tasar and muga silk yarn is observed. However, elongation decreases with drying due to increase in moisture loss with temperature. Crystallinity has no effect even when dried up to 140˚C. Scanning electron
