Abstract : Investigations were undertaken to study the effect of temperature and humidity on the storage life of nylon fabrics. Nylon fabrics were stored under controlled conditions of temperature and humidity and their breaking and bursting strength were determined periodically. It was found that there was no significant change in the strength of the fabrics even after a period of about 8 and half years when stored of temperatures as high as 85DegreeF and relative humidities as high as 90%. |

Abstract : Investigations were undertaken to explore the possibilities of dyeing cotton fabrics to olive green shade using only mineral pigments or other indigenous and cheap colouring matters. Materials dyed by using such compositions could be used for a variety of purposes, other than Service clothing, such as tentage, canvases, ducks etc. After studying the self shades obtained with various mineral pigments, several compatible combinations were tried out to get the correct olive green shade. It was observed that olive green shade with varying degree of fastness characteristics can be produced by different compositions of mineral pigments with or without synthetic resin bindings. The choice of a specific recipe for dyeing a fabric will however depend upon the end-use of the fabric and the shade fastness characteristics expected of the same. |
