I wish to know any place, research lab, institute in India where work has been done on development of 3D fabric's used in composite applications?
I need to test tensile properties of woven bidirectionally woven fiber which will be used to prepare composites. How do I measure the tensile properties (tensile strength and modulus) of it ? There is a standard for tear strength D5587 − 15 that measures tear strength of partially torn fabric. But this cannot be related to tensile strength since tensile strength is actually stress that can be handled to resist yield or fracture (MPa). Tear strength is actually force needed to completely tear a already torn fabric. So, please let me know the suitable standard to measure tensile strength.

I am using enzymatic desizing process. after that Using Sodium Percarbonate for scouring and bleaching. Cotton fabric is gets white but still tegawa rating is poor.
I am Looking for suggestion for easy method of desizing. Share your opinion.
I read the following passage in a book:
"The detection of surfactants on fabrics requires extraction of the surfactants
from the fabric sample. First, agitate a fabric sample in water at a low liquor
ratio (<1 : 20) overnight at room temperature, then remove the sample and
concentrate the solution containing surfactants for testing using the following
methods at room temperature..."
What do they mean by "liquor ratio"?
Between depth of colour (K/S), DE_cmc and invidual L*CH (lightness, chroma, hue) parameters of a dyed fabric, which one would give best estimate of whether one sample has greater/lower dye fixation than another?
Here fixation would refer to how much dye has reactively bonded with the cellulose (as against dye uptake which refers to how much dye has diffused to the cellulose in total, bonded+non-bonded)
I am specifically looking at reactive dyeing, but other methods used with other dyeing techniques would also be of great help!
I want to know about some journal which publication has no Fees in Springer or Elsevier in related to Textile Engineering or Others .

Desizing efficiency is defined by the difference in amount of starch present and after desizing process by 42% perchloric acid.Anyone have that protocol?
The starch was determined using the sample is treated with perchloric acid and the resulting mixture was estimated using anthrone method. Is it correct one ? In this method it is estimated starch only or cellulose also which is present in the cotton?
There was unlevelling on cotton fabric like oil spots after optimizing this issue this problem is arising in new form. Laminar or parallel lining type unlevelling is occurring. But I am not using any levelling agent. Do i need to use leveller for this purpose?
There is special product in vat dyes which is already chlorine fast. Is there anyway to that I can apply as finishing to improve chlorine fastness of vat dyes. I am looking for solution which is passive to chlorine or that can create protective layer against it.
Hi,
I am thinking of using a crockmeter to rub on a coated fabric that I have with a clean, white cotton fabric on top. I want to find a way of determining, the amount of coated substances that has smeared onto the cotton fabric, or a way to determine the color change on the fabric (that is not the standard color transfer scale). Anyone know of any method as such?
Nylon fibers are mainly dyed with acid dye. But due to the less number of amino (-NH2) group than wool (approximately 6 times lower) deep shade cannot produce by acid dye due to lower exhaustion.
I am wondering what kinds of techniques are used to cut fiber segments to lengths of 1 mm or less (common in flocking industry). Currently, cutting is done by hand and is too tedious to be practical. Thanks for the help.

Can anybody please give me an idea regarding the Silk fibroin extraction process? I have several problems with regards to the extraction of this protein. First, silk is not soluble completely in LiBr 9.3 M solution (LiBr volume is exactly according to the Nature Protocols, 6, 2011, 1612-1631). Second, after dialysis, silk was undergone a fast gelation within 1-2 days, while protocol says that SF solution must stay stable roughly a month at 4 degrees. Please share your experience, if anybody knows the solution of these problems...
I would like someone could share with me any paper about the effect of the pretreament level with optical whitener in the shade of dyed cotton after batch dyeing.

When we dye polyester with disperse dye there is the requirement of maintaining constant acidic ph of fabric. Just using acetic acid at 150-200 degree centigrade cannot withstand and maintain constant ph for this we need to introduce buffer system into it.
Kindly suggest what ingredients should I use to make buffer for this system.
Can I use Acid and different salt for example acetic acid and sodium citrate? Can it be used as buffer?
I need to determine the stress-strain relationship of flax yarns. To calculate the nominal stress, I need to know the cross-sectional area (original area) of the flax yarn before the application of the tensile load.

Silk waste can be felted. Can the waste from bamboo silk also be felted?
i have tried to make caustic treatment at mercerization machine to MJS polyester woven fabric but found no hydrophilic properties.
Limited color variety is presumed as one of the key shortcoming of natural dyed textile materials. Lion share natural dyes are incurred from plant origin. Each source has an intrinsic color. If we use diverse dye concentration into dyeing bath then color strength will be altered. Additioanlly, diverse crosslinking agents may also change the color in little extent. But if wanna made a prominent change in color of an identical dye. In this regards, would you please suggest me some pathways of producing color variety.

There are many research papers published on Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) bleaching which state that it is sustainable process to do bleaching with potassium permanganate.
e.g.
I agree with conducted research regarding effectiveness and results obtained through use of potassium permanganate, but I have come to know recent news that KMnO4 is restricted in many countries and it is non-biodegradable at all.
CHT Bezema has introduced alternative of KMnO4 which is 99% biodegradable, you may visit following link to know about their product.
As per CHT report, Why KMnO4 is restricted?
Manganese is a heavy metal and not biodegradable. Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) belongs to the substances which are particularly dangerous to the environment with high fish toxicity. In many countries there are strict regulations or even an obligation to provide evidence to avoid any misuse of KMnO4.
Please share your valuable information and thoughts.
I'm working with cotton, linen and polyester.
