Abstract: A study was made to establish a site for the tissue manufacturing industry. The industry is proposed to be located in the Northern part of Nigeria. It will be situated on a 615,204 square meters area, which is to be acquired prior to erection of building and other infrastructure. The major raw materials include obsolete/waste paper, carton and chipboards. The types, of machines to be used are pulper machines, chester machine, tissue recycling machine, culling machine and slicing machine. The initial capital outlay for the plant is N75 million for a start. The product will generate a total revenue over a period of three years of N97 million with a net fixed asset of N54.S million. Thus, the project is feasible even at an annual discount of 10%.

| Title | : | Studies on Mechanical, Thermal, Electrical Properties and Accelerated UV Weathering of PP with HIPS Blends |

Abstract: Poly Propylene (PP) was blended with High impact poly styrene (HIPS) (10-25%) using a twin screw extruder. Then the test specimens were prepared using an injection molding machine and testings were done as per ASTM standards. The mechanical properties like Tensile modulus, Flexural strength and Flexural modulus were increased. The impact strength, Tensile strength and elongation were decreased. In the thermal properties HDT was improved because HIPS has higher properties than that of PP. The Arc resistance was little lowered. The shrinkage was decreased. Accelerated UV Weathering was also carried out using an accelerated weather-o-meter. The PP-HIPS blends were found to be photo-degradable after 125 hours of UV light exposure in accelerated Weather-o-meter and in about 2.5 months in the out-door exposure.
Key words: PP- HIPS Blends, Mechanical, Thermal, Electrical properties, SEM, and Accelerated UV Weathering.

| Title | : | Evaluation of Sewing Performance of Plain Twill and Satin Fabrics Based On Seam Slippage Seam Strength and Seam Efficiency |

Abstract: Seam strength is an important factor in determining the durability of a garment. Seam strength is determined by resistance to pulling force and abrasion. Seam tenacity break the fabric or the weakest stitch of seam. Seam abrasion resistance is the amount of rubbing action needed to wear away stitches in the seam strength is related to stitch type, thread strength ,thread tension, seam type,seam efficiency, width ,and stitches per inch.Loop strength of thread is more important to durability the seam need not be stronger than the fabric being sewn.A triple stitched lapped seam would not be necessary for a pair of corduroy jeans since the fabric itself is not strong and would wear out before the seam.It is better to have the thread is an overstressed seam that to damage the fabric.Our project objective is to find the seam of strength by using different type of materials.
