Abstract: Corn fibre(PLA) were dyed with two disperse dyes. The corn fibres showed better dye uptake at 1100C.but at this temperature strength of corn fibre is decreased. In this paper Dyeing behavior of Corn fiber (PLA) was investigated. The corn fiber were evaluated for colour strength, tensile strength, elongation and fastness properties like colour fastness to washing, perspiration, hot pressing and light.
Keywords: Colour strength, PLA fiber, tensile strength, elongation and fastness properties.

Title	:	Studies on Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Poly Carbonate-EPDM Blends
Country	:	India
Authors	:	S. Soundararajan \|\| K. Palanivelu
	:	10.9790/019X-0120810

Abstract: PC (Poly Carbonate) was blended with EPDM (5%-20%) (wt%) using a Twin Screw Compounding extruder. Test specimens were made by using an injection molding machine. The mechanical properties such as Tensile strength, Flexural strength were determined and found to be decreasing. The impact strength, Izod notched, was increased to about 200%. The arc resistance was increased to about 300%. Electrical properties such as Dielectric strength, Volume resistivity and surface resistivity were also improved.
Key Words: PC, EPDM, Twin Screw Compounding, Testing, mechanical and electrical properties.

Title	:	Synthesis of Chitin Nano Particles for Preparation of Nano PF Composites
Country	:	India

	:	10.9790/019X-0121114

Abstract: Preparation of Phenolic nanocomposites with the help of solvent casting technique was carried out by dispersing the chitin nano particles in water soluble phenol formaldehyde (PF). The nanocomposites were prepared by using water suspended chitin whisker as the reinforced phase and water soluble phenol formaldehyde (PF) as matrix. In the present work, crab shell originated chitin whisker was processed by acid hydrolysis method to prepare the chitin whiskers. The whiskers suspension consists of parallelepiped slender rod shape which can be used for mixing it with any water soluble thermosetting cross linking polymer. The suspension can be mixed with the water soluble aqueous solution of PF so that the suspension quantify for the varying fraction of chitin whisker particles ranging from 1 to 20 percent. Thus the varying fraction, whisker chitin reinforced phenol formaldehyde composites can be prepared by solvent casting process.
Keywords: Chitin Whisker Suspension, Acid Hydrolysis, Water Soluble Aqueous Polymer, Phenolic nano composites.

Title	:	5S Conditions and Improvement Methodology in Apparel Industry in Pakistan
Country	:	Pakistan
Authors	:	Hammad Saeed Shamsi

Abstract: The study has been taken after studying for 3 months at ten (10) different apparel industries in Pakistan. For development of textile and apparel sector of Pakistan a study has been conducted in apparel sector which is contributing on a very large scale in Pakistan export. The methodology that was adopted was started with making of a 5S committee and trained them over the 5S concept in detail. After training, an initial audit conducted and recorded the situation requiring 5S. After having the pictorial evidences, build an action plan to improve the situations. Thus in the end record the changes and standardize the process by putting it into an SOP. Thus the implementation of the concept can bring improvements in compliance and efficient workflow due to lesser machine breakdowns, lower defect rates, reduced inventory and effective problem visualization and addressing them before they aggravate.
Keywords: 5S, 5S Housekeeping, 5S in Pakistan, 5S in textile industry, 5S methodology.
