Cotton Fabrics
CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION


1.1.1 What is bio-polishing:

The Bio-Polishing Process is the process of removing short fiber so that it will not create the pilling. Pilling is the defect of cotton fabric surface. Bio-polishing is needed for treatment the cotton fiber surface, because of cotton has more tendency to pilling so it is required to treat the fabrics by enzyme which is bio-polishing process.

Because it remove the short fiber from fabric surface the quality of the fabric is better than before bio-polishing and it improve fabric quality.

1.1.2 Objective of the study:

The broad objective of the study is to study the effects of concentrations of cellulase on the bio-polishing process of cotton fabrics.



The specific objectives are given below:

*    To study the effects of different conditions of cellulase after bio-polishing process of cotton fabrics.

*    To know about the changes of CPI, WPI, Stitch length, weight loss and the yarn count of fabrics and determine the variation in result of cotton fabric on different concentrations.

LITERATURE REVIEW



2.1.1 Bio-polishing process:

Removing the short fiber from fabric surface is called bio-polishing. Short fiber create pill formation on fabric surface. The process where the short fiber are removed is called bio-polishing process. Maintaining the process enzyme is use for bio-polishing. It improved the fabric quality for next process [1-2].



2.1.2 Why bio-polishing is required:

Enzymes are used widely now a days. There are some popular uses of wash like stone wash. The process of treatment the fabrics with enzyme is called bio-polishing. It is environmental friendly and biodegradable.

Knitted goods are treated with enzymes for removing the pill rate and improve fabric handle. There is tendency of pilling rate formation onto cotton fabric surface. So removing that is treat with enzyme.

Because it remove the short fiber the fabric looks beautiful, hand feel is good, improving the absorb property of the fabrics. It also improve the chemical and dye absorption properties [4, 7].



There are some parameter why it needed:

1.     It can be remove the hairy fiber from fabric surface.

2.     It improve the fabric quality for next process.

3.     It improve the fabric handle properties.

4.     It increases softness of the fabric.

5.     It improve the appearance of the fabrics.

6.     It removes the pilling tendency

7.     It improve the fabrics for ready the fabric for next process.















2.1.3 Process variable for bio-polishing:

1.     Concentration: we know bio-polishing is eliminating the short fiber. It is done by the enzyme treatment. If we made the recipes concentration variable then we get the variable result of bio-polishing. If we test the pilling rate then we get variable pilling rate.



2.     Temperature: it is one of the variable parameter of bio-polishing. If we take the temperature as 20oc, 30oc, 40oc, 50oc then the bio-polishing of 20oc is less treatment than 30oc, 40oc is less than 50oc and 70oc is over bio-polishing than standard temperature. The standard temperature is around 50oc.



3.     pH: one of the most important parameter of changes the bio-polishing. Changes pH changes the bio-polishing treatment. So we should maintain the standard pH. The standard pH is 4.5-5.5.



4.     M: L: ratio of material and liquid is very important parameter of bio-polishing. If we take more water than bio-polishing is less, if we take less water bio-polishing is not occurring than less water.



2.1.4 Bio-polishing enzyme:

In recent year enzymes are used in textile sector widely. Enzymes are used for bio-polishing process. Enzymes are known as catalyst which catalyze more than 5000 chemical reaction. Some example of the enzymes are proteins, catalytic RNA molecules etc.

Though Enzymes are one kind of catalyst so it increase the reaction rate. Some enzymes can increase the reaction millions times of faster. An example is orotidine five phosphate decarboxylase which increase the reaction rate on the other hand it will take more times. Enzymes work is affected by other molecule. Some molecule de-active the enzymes work it is called inhibitor, some example of inhibitor is drugs and poison etc. some molecules are responsible for active the enzyme activity is called activator and the example is hexokinase.





There are wide range of use of enzymes like Chemical industry, pharmaceutical, food & beverage, textile industry etc. Though it could not survive in organic solvent and high temperature so the chemical engineer researches and creates the types of enzyme which is survive under high temperature and solvent [8-10].

Some uses of enzymes:

1.     Cellulases are used for bio-polishing.

2.     Ligninases are used for pretreatment for biofuel production.

3.     Some biological detergent is used in laundry for example amylases, proteases etc.

4.     In food industry some enzymes like amylases are used like biscuit industry.

5.     Nucleases enzyme are used in molecular biology.

6.     In paper industry used enzymes are xylanases, hemicellulases etc.



2.1.5 Advantages of bio-polishing:

1.     Removing projecting fibers.

2.     To remove Hairiness, and reduce the pills.

3.     To make fabrics appearance is better.

4.     To improve fabrics hand feel.

5.     To improve of surface smoothness, appearance and improved gloss.

6.     To improved material adaptability.

7.     To remove the pilling rate of the fabrics.

8.     To convert the fabrics poor quality to better quality where the fabrics are more glossy, appearance is good, hand feel is better etc.

9.     To make the fabrics for next process.



2.1.6 Disadvantages:

1.     Weight loss is occur.

2.     Strength loss is occur [3].











2.1.7 Cotton fiber

Cotton is one kind of natural fiber. It is vegetable fiber which is one kind of cellulose fiber. Around 90% cellulose is present in cotton fiber where other is chromophore, oil, fat, wax, pectine etc. the cotton fiber is made from cotton ball where the cotton ball is made from cotton hairy seed. In hairy seed, remove the seed from the hair and then create the cotton ball. The removing of seed is called seed germination. Then the cotton is made in the form of lap and the lap is transfer to the carding machine where the machine remove the short fiber and the dust to the cotton. After getting the cotton sliver it is formed in rope, and then the rope is made in yarn, the yarn is used for making the fabrics [11].



2.1.8 Structure of cotton:

Cotton is a natural cellulosic fiber which structure is like this type:

3.2.0 Method of evaluation:

Determination of WPI & CPI

·       WPI & CPI is used for measuring the yarn of knit fabric where WPI is wales per inch & CPI is course per inch.

·       CPI & WPI is counting with the magnifying glass:

·       To make wales and course wise one inch marking with pen

·       After that set the marking to the multiplier scale and count the CPI and WPI of that knitted fabric.

·       Counting is done by magnifying counting glass.

Determination of WPI and CPI:

Introduction

The WPI means wales per inch, and CPI means course per inch. WPI and CPI is that which is used for make a fabric. By this we can look at the fabrics in unit zone which is used for measure the fabric loop and the course per one square inch.



Determination

·       At first took the sample and mark with pencil and counting the CPI per one inch.

·       Then the WPI is counting with magnify glass in one inch.

·       Then collect the data and wrote in thesis.



Calculation

Grey fabric WPI and CPI

·       For single jersey    WPI = 35, CPI = 45

·       For (1x1) Rib         WPI = 44, CPI = 54

·       For Plain Interlock WPI = 31, CPI = 55

Percentage of WPI and CPI = [{previous WPI and CPI + present WPI and CPI} / previous WPI and CPI] × 100



Determination of count:

Types of Numbering Systems:

There are two types of systems available which is given below:

·       Direct system

·       Indirect system



Indirect system:

                           No. of Hanks (Hank of 840 yards)

Count (Ne) = ---------------------------------------------------------

                                           1 pound weight



Direct system:

In this system the length unit is fixed and the weight of the yarn. The following system are direct systems:

·       Denier System means weight in gram of 9000 meter of yarn.

·       Tex System means weight in gram of 1000 meter of yarn.







Stitch Length

Stitch length is the width of the stitch made by a swing needle machine. The stitch length is measured by measuring the number of lengths of thread found within one inch.






Stitch length measurement procedure

·       At first measure the length of the yarn which is wales yarn.

·       Then count the wales which is in between one inch of fabric.

·       Calculate the stitch length and collect the data

For example,

The length of wales yarn in between one inch of fabric is 98 & the wales per inch of the fabric is 34 then the stitch length is 2.8 inch

Pilling:

Pilling is formation of little balls of fibers (pills) on the surface of a fabric which is caused by abrasion in wear.



Reasons for pilling:

·       By abrasion of fabric to fabrics or with other material.

·       By treatment with strong alkali or scouring process it occur pilling.

·       By folding the fabric, it occur pilling on to the fabric surface.

·       Short fiber causes the pilling tendency of the fabrics.

·       By moving of fabric with body create pilling.

·       By over twisting the yarn cause more projecting fiber which then cause pilling to the fabric surface.

·       When making the yarn should not follow the removing process of short fiber.





Decrease or minimizing pilling:



·       By maintaining the winding rate of the yarn.



·       By brushing and editing of the fabric surface to clear the fabric from the short fiber.



·       By burn projecting fiber from the fabrics surface by maintaining the process of singing.



·       By using proper method against pilling.



·       By using proper condition of the method which is used for reduce pilling rate.



·       By decreasing movement of filaments by methods for Air Jet turning process.



·       By using the bio-polishing method to the fabric surface.

DISCUSSION OF RESULT



4.1.0 Bio-polishing:

Bio-Polishing is a procedure that improves fabrics quality by diminishing the pilling propensity and fluffiness of cotton fabrics. This completing procedure connected to both cotton fabrics produces changeless impact by the utilization of Enzymes. This procedure expels projecting strands and slubs from cotton fiber essentially lessens pilling, relaxes fabrics and give a smooth fabric appearance.



4.1.1 Changes in CPI of different fabrics after bio-polishing:

After bio-polishing treatment there are change in CPI in different fabrics with various concentration of Enzyme. The change in CPI is given below:




Fig. 4.1: CPI changes in different % concentrations enzymes



CPI means the course per inch which indicates the number of yarn which is in course side and the number of yarn within one inch. The main study of this graph is to determine the changes in CPI after bio-polishing process in the concentrations of 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2%, 1.5% and 1.8% of cellulase enzyme.



In this diagram we show the CPI change in different % concentration Enzymes. Here we use different % of cellulase enzymes. Here X axis determine the % of cellulase enzymes, and the Y axis show the CPI change in different % concentration of enzymes. Different type of concentration show different types of result. The change is a little. Different type of concentration show different types of result, but the CPI is almost same. The different concentration says different result. Here we used 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2%, 1.5% and 1.8% concentrations of cellulase enzyme. By increasing the concentrations the CPI is also increase or decrease. Here, CPI of plain interlock is higher than (1×1) rib and single jersey fabric. The highest CPI of plain interlock is 56 at 0.9% concentration of cellulase enzyme and the lowest CPI is 44 which is single jersey at 0.3% and 1.5% concentrations of cellulase enzyme. Increase the % of concentration is increases or decreases the CPI, but the change is a little.



4.1.2 Changes in WPI after bio-polishing:

WPI means the wales per inch which indicates the number of loop which is in wales side and the number of loop within one inch. The main study of this graph is to determine the changes in WPI after bio-polishing process in the concentrations of 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2%, 1.5% and 1.8% of cellulase enzyme.
























Fig. 4.2: Changes WPI after bio-polishing



In this diagram we show the WPI change in different % concentration Enzymes. Here we use different % of cellulase enzymes. Here X axis determine the % of cellulase enzymes, and the Y axis show the WPI change in different % concentration of enzymes. Different type of concentration show different types of result, because we used various concentration so the value of those are various form each other.



This line indicate the increase the WPI after change of % of cellulase enzymes 0.3% to 1.8%. In 0.3% the result of WPI of single jersey is 34, (1x1) Rib result is 44 and Plain fabric is 30, where in concentration of 1.8% the result of WPI of single jersey is 39, (1x1) Rib is 49 and Plain fabric is 37. When we counting the WPI some values are same and some are increase to previous or some are decrease to previous, but it increase the WPI simultaneously. We use six different types of concentrations like 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8% so the result of WPI shows different types of result.



So at last when we increase the concentration the WPI is also increase but the result is not too much growth. The highest WPI shown by (1×1) Rib then single jersey and at last the plain interlock fabrics. The result is average.



4.1.4 Changes in stitch length (mm) after bio-polishing:
























Fig. 4.3: Change in stitch length (mm) after bio-polishing



The line diagram indicate the change of stitch length after bio-polishing. In this diagram we show the stitch length change in different % concentration Enzymes. Here we use different % of cellulase enzymes. Here X axis determine the % of cellulase enzymes, and the Y axis show the stitch length change in different % concentration of enzymes. Different type of concentration show different types of result. We used same type of cellulase enzyme concentration like, 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2%, 1.5% and 1.8%, where the highest graph shown in the concentration of, .3%  and the value shown by (1×1) Rib is 3.14, then single jersey is 2.89 and at last the plain interlock fabric is 1.7. The lowest graph shown by plain interlock in 1.8% concentration of enzyme is 1.65%, then by single jersey is 2.85 and at last the (1×1) Rib is 3.1. if we saw the graph it clearly told us if we increase the concentration of enzymes the change in stitch length (mm) is decreasing.



The diagram says the (1x1) Rib has higher stitch length of then single jersey and Plain fabrics. By increasing the concentration decreasing the stitch length.



4.1.5 Change in yarn count after bio-polishing:
























Fig. 4.4: Change in yarn count (Ne) after bio-polishing



The line diagram indicate the change of yarn count after bio-polishing. In this diagram we show the Count change in different % concentration enzymes. Here we use different % of cellulase enzymes. Here X axis determine the % of cellulase enzymes, and the Y axis show the Count change in different % concentration of enzymes. Different type of concentration show different types of result, but count is almost same. The different concentration says different count. Here we used 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2%, 1.5% and 1.8% concentrations of cellulase enzyme. By increasing the concentrations the count is also increase. Here, count of single jersey is higher than (1×1) Rib and Plain interlock fabric. The highest count of single jersey is 37 at 1.8% concentration of cellulase enzyme and the lowest count is 30 which is (1×1) rib and plain interlock at .3% concentration of cellulase enzyme. Increase the concentration % is increases the count, but the change is moderate.



The diagram says the Single jersey has higher Count then (1×1) rib and plain interlock fabrics. By increasing the concentration increase the count.



4.1.6 After120 second abrasion, change in pilling after bio-polishing:
























Fig. 4.5: Pilling change after bio-polishing



The line diagram indicate the change of pilling after bio-polishing. In this diagram we show the pilling change in different % concentration Enzymes. Here we use different % of cellulase enzymes. Here X axis determine the % of cellulase enzymes, and the Y axis show the pilling change in different % concentration of enzymes. Different type of concentration show different types of result. Pilling is most important parameter which is removed by bio-polishing if we increase the cellulase enzyme concentration then pilling is decreased. We use 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2%, 1.5% and 1.8% of cellulase enzymes. In 1.8% concentration shows lowest pilling rate and the .3% shows the highest pilling rate. Single jersey shows highest pilling rate and plain interlock fabric shows lowest pilling rate



Here, pilling of single jersey is higher than single (1x1) Rib and Plain Fabric. The highest pilling of single jersey is 40 and the lowest pilling is 10 which is Plain fabric. Increase the concentration % is decreasing the pilling rate, but the change is a little.





4.1.7 Change in weight loss% after bio-polishing:
























Fig. 4.6: Weight loss% after bio-polishing



The line diagram indicate the change of weight loss% after bio-polishing. In this diagram we show the weight change in different % concentration Enzymes. Here we use different % of cellulase enzymes. Here X axis determine the % of cellulase enzymes, and the Y axis show the weight change in different % concentration of enzymes. Different type of concentration show different types of result. Concentration used in this report is 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9%, 1.2%, 1.5% and 1.8%, in this study weight loss% is not increase rapidly but it increases average. The highest Weight loss% shows at 1.8% concentration of cellulase enzyme is single jersey and the lowest at .3% concentration is plain interlock. If increasing the weight loss% then increases the concentration of cellulase enzymes.



Here, weight loss% of single jersey is higher than (1x1) Rib and Plain Fabric. The highest weight loss% of single jersey is 12 and the lowest pilling is 2.4 which is Plain fabric. Increase the concentration % is increasing the weight loss% is change simultaneously.

CONCLUSION



























CHAPTER- 05

CONCLUSION



Here we got 18 sample where there are 3 basic sample they are single jersey, (1×1) rib and interlock or plain where they divided at 30 gram which is also divided into 6 pieces as 5 gram then our total sample is 90 gram. We use 6 types concentration of bio-polishing enzyme each concentration got 3 basic sample like Single jersey, rib, interlock so this 6 type concentration got total 18 sample which weight is 90 gram.

Here we got some point which is given below:



*    Change of CPI after bio-polishing is increase simultaneously, the higher CPI is 57 which is plain fabrics, and the lower CPI is 42 which is single jersey. If we average that the result is 49.5 which is near the plain fabric.

*    Change of WPI after bio-polishing is also increase a little. The higher WPI is 49 which is (1x1) rib and the lower WPI is 30 which is plain fabric.

*    Change of stitch length (mm) is happen simultaneously, the higher the stitch length is 3.14mm at 0.3% cellulase enzyme which is (1x1) rib fabric, and the lower is 1.65mm at 1.8% cellulase enzyme which is plain fabrics.

*    Here yarn count is also change. The higher yarn count is single jersey which is 37 at 1.8% cellulase enzyme, and the lower is 30 at 0.3% cellulase enzyme which is (1x1) rib and plain interlock fabrics.

*    The most important parameter is pilling, the higher is 40 at 0.3% cellulase enzyme which is single jersey, and the lower is 12 at 1.8% cellulase enzyme which is plain fabrics.

*    Because we treat the fabrics is with the caustic soda and then bio-polishing them after it loses some weight. The higher weight loss% is 12 at 1.8% cellulase enzyme which is single jersey and the lower weight loss% is 2.4 at 0.3% cellulase enzyme which is plain fabric.

At last we say there are some advantages of bio-polishing which is essential for fabrics for achieving good quality of final goods. By changing the conditions, result may also changes. There is a little change in CPI and yarn count, also weight loss% of fabrics is increasing by increases the concentrations. All the result between single jersey and plain interlock has a significant gap except yarn count. So the average result is yarn count.
