It is used as a substitute for jute. The fibre of Mesta is obtained from stem of Hibiscus sabdariffa varaltissima and Hibiscus Cannabinus, family Malvaceae. Hibiscus sabdariffa and Hibiscus Cannabinus denote varieties of the two species.Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:14:22 GMThttp://www.technicaltextile.net/articles/medical-textiles/detail.aspx?articleid=3828Microorganisms can be found almost everywhere in the environment. NASA researchers have found microorganisms even at a height of 32kms and to a depth 11kms in the sea. During oil drilling in the ground, to a depth of 400 Mts microorganisms have been found. For their growth and multiplication, the minimum nutritional requirements are water, a source of carbon, nitrogen and some inorganic salts.Fri, 20 Jan 2012 18:04:33 GMThttp://www.technicaltextile.net/articles/medical-textiles/detail.aspx?articleid=3798Activated charcoal powder is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous and thus to have very large surface area available for adsorption or chemical reaction. It has high degree of micro-porosity and wider application in many fields. A surgical mask is intend to be worn by health professionals during surgery and other times to catch the bacteria shed in liquid droplets and aerosols from the wearer’s mouth and nose. So in order to increase the absorption we have incorporated activated charcoal powder in disposable surgical mask and proposed to test for performance using pulse dosimeter and bacteria growth. The sock we wear need to be hygienic in order to avoid bacterial growth and foul odour from our feet and from our shoes after wearing the socks. Therefore, we have incorporated sock with activated charcoal powder and above problem has been overcame. The bacterial growth will be tested with antimicrobial test method and odour by response method.Thu, 29 Dec 2011 14:32:51 GMThttp://www.technicaltextile.net/articles/raw-material/detail.aspx?articleid=3783The continuing advances in the field of sports, protective textiles, medical and hygiene requirements, etc, existing fibers is being modified and new fibers are being developed to meet specific and stringent requirements of the technical applications. There is a regular demand for the production of functional and specialty fibres.Thu, 22 Dec 2011 10:57:32 GMThttp://www.technicaltextile.net/articles/medical-textiles/detail.aspx?articleid=3781As the name suggest, absorbent fibers are those, which can allow penetrating the water molecules well inside their sites. These are a kind of fabric, which absorbs the moisture from wearer and moves it away from the garment, hence helps to make skin moisture free. Usually Absorbent Textile Fabric comprises a water absorbent fabric layer having high moisture absorbency & a water permeable fabric layer having low moisture absorbency and a high moisture permeability which further integrally connected by knitting or by use of bonding agent for giving double layered fabric structure.Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:17:00 GMT
