Overview
Ongoing Projects
- There are ongoing projects at the end of financial year 2023-24.
- Antimicrobial Coating of fabric with the help of Herbs i.e. Pom Peel, Puspshankhi and Dragon Peel (In-House)
- Laser cutting and Sealing Equipment.
- Biodegradable Sanitary Napkins
- Conversion of Parali in to Nano Cellulosic materials and Fiber Composition
- High Performance Natural fiber (In-House)
- Deduction of Lignin Content of Banana fibers with chemical and enzymatic treatment.
- Making of different thermal sheet with the help of agricultural waste for low thermal Conductivity.
- Composite making from high performance fabric with Petrotex (In-House)
- Design and development of a sustainable, novel, Ready Made Embankment (RME) for river bank protection and flood control measures (IT Bhuvneshwar as lead partner) and ongoing SERB.
New R&D Project Proposals
- New project proposals (To be Submitted in Ministry of Textiles under NTTM)
- Mulching Net for Agriculture Purpose
- Development of indigenous Dyeing with the help of super critical CO2 dyeing machine
- Development of indigenous Air flow dyeing machine
- Non-woven fabrics from Pineapple GLS Student Work
- Development of solar cell fabric (under thought process)
- 2 Machine development with Yamuna 1. Geo Grid, 2. Coating and Drying Trials
- Biodegradable Sanitary Napkins
Conclusion
It has been concluded that
- It was difficult to make Knitted fabric water resistant. The coated knitted fabric did not withstand much higher hydrostatic head pressure. Comparatively woven fabric achieved more hydrostatic head pressure.
- Coated synthetic fabric did not respond to antimicrobial treatment. It was difficult to make coated synthetic fabric antimicrobial even with laboratory synthesized and commercial antimicrobial agent at higher concentration.
- Woven coated fabric showed higher water resistant property. The fabric showed higher tear strength also.
- Cotton/Lycra fabric showed higher air permeability compare to synthetic fabrics.
- Cotton/Lycra fabric responded better in antimicrobial testing with laboratory synthesized and commercial antimicrobial agent also.
- Field trial have been conducted successfully with farmers.
