The disposal of many rubbish materials affects the environment because they persist for a long period of time on the earth without degrading. Among the rubbish materials, medical gloves are the one that are disposed to the environment daily from different health centers all over the world. This leads to great environmental problems on soil, ground and surface water, plants, animals and human beings. Emission of bad odour and luck of storing place are the other problems of the disposed medical gloves into the landfills. The goal of this study is to recycle these disposable gloves and manufacture a full composite end product used for partition of shelves or different rooms. In this investigation an attempt has been made to determine the recyclability of medical gloves. The study was done by using molten gloves reinforced with jute fabric, which impart better strength for the composite end product. Thermal sterilization method at a temperature of 100°C was used for disinfecting the medical gloves. After sterilization the gloves wear melted using metal pot and composite was manufactured using hand layup technique. The manufactured composites were tested to study the mechanical properties of the composite, tensile strength, flexural strength, impact strength and hardness. The mean tensile strength of the composite (563.009, 664.7577 MPa), the mean compression of composite (1.3, 2.47 MPa) and the mean bending strength (0.99, 1.35 MPa) were recorded for two and three jute fabric layer composite product respectively. The results indicated that the recycling of medical gloves under the use of composite manufacturing gives very strong end product functional for the partition purpose.

The pore size is one of the vital morphological characteristics of barrier fabrics as it decisively affects their permeability and retention properties. Apart from fabric construction and material aspects, the pore size also depends on applied mechanical loads, which occur during typical usage life cycles. Among others, barrier fabrics such as surgical gowns are exposed to loads during their use. These loads have a significant effect on the fabric morphology which influences the permeability properties as well. In this study, a newly developed in situ pore size measurement method was used to measure the changes in pore size that occur in high density barrier woven fabrics under biaxial loadings and after cyclic loading. It was observed that, under tension, pore size distributions changed and mean flow pore sizes increased. Results revealed that the developed in situ measurement method has a great potential for the determination of pore size changes in barrier textiles under biaxial loading.

Conducting polymer coated in textiles possess a wide range of electrical properties. The surface resistivity is influenced by concentrations of the reactants, thickness of the coating, nature of the substrate surface, extent of penetration of the polymer into the textile structure and the strength of the binding of the coating to the textile surface. Low resistivity in fabric results from highly doped thicker coatings that penetrate well into the textile structure thus enabling good electrical contact between fibers. In this study, we had chosen copper as conductor polymer for coating. The electrical conductivity is influenced by the thickness of coating paste, the nature of the substrate surface. The thickness of the paste and the concentration of the copper were studied in this paper. Furthermore, the electrical surface resistance decreased from 68 MΩ to 8 MΩ with decreasing in coating thickness. However, the thickness of coated fabric is very important factor to determine conductivity and application of textile. In addition, we had noticed that the airflow is affected by the coating thickness which the penetration of the airflow differs from the lower thickness to the higher one. This study confirm that we can use coating woven fabric to develop a textile substrate responding to characteristics such as electrical resistance, drapability, air permeability and tensile strength, which are particularly important to be used as a support for flexible photovoltaic cells in clothes.

This paper presents a comparative study of different 3D fabrics designed and produced to be used as mattress and seat overlays for bedridden or people with reduced mobility. Two 3D patterns were developed using a doubleweaving process. The effect of pick density and filling weft linear density on the thermal properties, air and water vapour permeability and wicking ability of the resulting 3D fabrics was evaluated and compared. The obtained results demonstrated that the fabrics produced with the pattern with less number of intersections and lengthier floats (striped channel structure), less pick density and finer filling weft yarns, depicted the highest air and moisture transfer properties, which makes them a better solution for a cushioning interface material.

Knit wear industry is growing at a faster rate across the globe and technological innovations contribute a lot in the success of industry. Knitted cotton fabric is considered ideal for next-toskin wear. Knit wear fabrics are popular because of their excellent properties of comfort, softness, sweat absorption, durability and softness. The dimensional stability is a serious problem with reference to quality. Quality of the fabric is of prime concern in placement of new ties between buyers and manufacturers. Consumers, now days, are becoming increasingly concerned and aware of fabric quality and accept higher quality standards than ever before. Pakistan’s knit wear industry is lagging behind the world knitting industry due to its less command and control over quality awareness and implementation of quality standards. Various defects in knitted fabrics affect the quality but spirality is the most common fault that affects the single jersey knit wear fabric. Single jersey fabric is mostly used for T-Shirts, sports wears and under garments, so position of seam is very important in the exact shape of the product, more is spirality, more de shaped is the end product.

Electrically conducting and additionally ferromagnetic materials in mix with fibers and textiles are ended up being compelling in shielding against electromagnetic radiation. Fine wires of copper, steel or silver mixed with textile fibers are the broadly examined materials for electromagnetic shielding. Composite yarns containing metallic wires and textile fibers delivered by friction spinning, core spinning or twisting are changed over into fabrics for EMI shielding. Mixing textile fibers with metallic wires enhances the textile attributes and process execution. One thinks that it’s difficult to weave a metallic wire in typical weaving machine rather a composite yarn, correspondingly to knit moreover. Be that as it may, metal coated fiber/yarns are monetarily accessible with great electrical conductivity and textile attributes.

In this study-the ecological parameters of the effluents obtained from scouring and dyeing with reactive dyes of Remazol brand for conventional cotton single jersey knitted fabric as well as bio-scouring and dyeing with low impact reactive dyes of Avitera brand for organic cotton single jersey fabric have been investigated. The ecological parameters include chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), total dissolved solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solid (TSS), dissolved oxygen (DO), EC or conductivity, alkalinity and pH. Also some selected physical properties have been investigated for both dyed fabrics such as bursting strength, fabric drapability, color fastness to wash, color fastness to rubbing and color fastness to perspiration. The results of ecological test show greater ecological advances for using organic cotton, bio scouring and low impact reactive dyes than the conventional method and raw materials. In addition, the bleaching process has eliminated by dyeing with deep shade that results less toxic chemicals in effluent. The physical properties also showed better results of using eco-friendly fabric and processes.

To minimize water and energy consumption, it has become necessary to combine several textile processing stages in order to reduce the number of operations, process time and cost. In this project work an attempt was made to combine the pre-treatment process with optimal quantities of chemicals in single bath by varying different pH with the help of different buffers and comparison was made with conventional process. It has found that buffered system at pH 11 for 60 min shows the best result in respect to wicking test, drop test, immersion test, weight loss%, whiteness index, yellowness index. Then all the pre-treated samples were dyed with reactive dyes by varying the depth of shade. After dyeing it has been found that buffered system at pH 11 for 60 min can be selected for any depth of shades and buffered system at pH 11 for 45 min is suitable for dark shade. This kind of a one-bath process is shorter, consuming less energy and hence being less expensive. The combined processes also lead to substantial saving in water energy and time along with chemicals.
