    Aroma Cum Antibacterial Finishing of Cotton With Inclusion Complex of Βcyclodextrin-Co-Chitosan and Oil of Lavender
    (Daffodil International University, 2019-07-01) Khanna, Shelly; Kaur, Amandeep
    Host-guest complex of β-cyclodextrin-cochitosan and lavender was employed for the combined aroma cum anti-bacterial finishing of cotton textiles. The modified host viz. β-cyclodextrin-co-chitosan was synthesized with the use of β-cyclodextrin citrate as the intermediate for the achievement of the satisfactory yield of the host. FTIR analysis was carried out for the characterization of β-cyclodextrin-co-chitosan and also the surface modification of the functionalized cotton with the modified host. 1HNMR spectra of the inclusion complex of β-cyclodextrin-co-chitosan and Lavender had confirmed the formation of a strong complexation between the two compounds. The functional as well as physical properties as aroma retention, anti-bacterial assessment, tensile strength, crease recovery, bending length and air permeability were investigated both for the host-guest complexed cotton and lavender alone treated cotton. The aroma retention and a strong inhibition zone was found more pronounced in the functionalized cotton instead of the oil alone treated cotton, which can be a promising and potential cadre of application of multi faceted textiles.

    Re- Innovation of Home-Décor: Effect of Process Parameters on Designing and Development of Computer Assisted Embroidered Cushion Covers
    (Daffodil International University, 2017-03-27) Khanna, Shelly; Kaur, Amandeep
    The computerized embroidery process was investigated for the process variables as fabric type, motif parameters and embroidery thread, with their impact on the quality of the embroidered articles thus produced. Four sets of cotton based fabrics namely khadi, satin, velvet and Organdie with silk embroidery threads were used to experiment upon the suitability of the digital motifs along with their placement. Khadi fabric was the most suitable base for computerized work in terms of quality adjudgement parameters as fabric distortion, needle breaks, thread breaks, skipped areas and clarity index. Cushion covers were designed and developed as an interpretation of the custom designed respondent survey and costing evaluation was also carried out for the end- product.
