Root Cause Analysis of Textile Defects Using Scanning Electron Microscopy

Amol G. Thite, Geeta P. Jawdekar,
Manasi D. Kadam, Soumya S. Behera

Textile manufacturers are extensively working on improving the market with qualities, however, textile defects are a great hindrance to them. This article looks at the standard reasons for commonly occurring defects in textiles by employing an SEM analysis.

Rheology of UHMWPE/ solvent systems:
A literature review

Sandeep Padmakar Jape
The paper reviews the current available literature on the rheological behaviour of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)/ solvent systems. The rheological behaviour of UHMWPE /solvent systems was found to depend on the selection of solvent, shear rate, concentration of polymer, temperature and shear history. The influence of solubility on the rheological characteristics was discussed. The implication of the reports on gel spinning was also discussed.

A Comprehensive Review of High Performance Synthetic Fibers for Composite Materials & it's Application

Omkar Sadalkar, Shital Palaskar
Synthetic fibers, engineered through chemical synthesis, differ significantly from natural fibers derived from living organisms like plants and animals. These fibers are a product of extensive research aimed at mimicking the properties of natural fibers, involving processes such as extruding materials through spinnerets to form fibers. The widespread application of synthetic fibers spans various fields of fiber and textile technology, reflecting their integral role in modern material science.
