Nano Ultraviolet Finishing of Textiles Using Inorganic UV- Blockers–The Sustainable Approach of Producing Protective Clothing for Better TomorrowBy Bipin J. Agrawal
Abstract: The diminution of the ozone stratum,due to global warming, is likely to intensify existing health effects caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiations, as stratospheric ozone is a predominantly effective UV radiation absorber. As the ozone layer becomes thinner, the protective filter provided by the atmosphere is gradually abridged. Subsequently, human beings and the environment are exposed to higher UV radiation levels, particularly higher UV-B levels, which have the greatest …

Redox system initiated improved low-temperature colouration of real silk with metal-complex dyes for energy conservationBy Bipin J. Agrawal
Abstract: Silk has always been the symbol of royalty due to its lustrous appearance and peach like softness. It can be dyed in bright shades with the available natural and many synthetic dyestuffs. The slight cationic character of silk makes it possible to be dyed with anionic synthetic dyes such as acid, metal complex, reactive and selected direct dyes. The main objective of colouration of a textile fibre should be to …

Desizing of Cotton Fabrics With Enzymes for Improved PerformanceBy Bipin J. Agrawal
Abstract: Desizing of cotton substrates with Amylase enzymes has been practiced since long time and is commercially successful. Amylases convert the water insoluble starches, used during sizing operation for enhancing the performance of the warp yarns, into water soluble products which are removed during subsequent washing. The use of enzymes for desizing is quite safe for the cotton substrates and do not cause any detrimental effect on the cotton cellulose unlike …
