	Self- illuminated safety jackets
	Currently the world over, safety jackets being used are mainly reflective type of jackets that have a very high visibility when light falls on them. These are used by professional who are required to work in conditions of low visibility. These jackets however fail to deliver their functionality

	Finishing techniques for medical textiles
	Technical textiles are one of the fastest growing sectors of the global textile industry. According to 'Technical Textiles and Industrial Nonwovens: World Market Forecast to 2010' published by David Rigby Associates it is forecast that the world market for technical textiles and industrial nonwovens will reach 23.8 mn tons

	Nano Finishes
	Techno-science of some recently introduced nano finishes for textile substrates has been reviewed. The logic of using low molecular weight fibre- reactive fluorocarbons that form the basis of Nano-Care™ finish to impart durable hydrophobic-oleophobic characteristics to fabrics, as described in a patented literature, has been discussed

	A Value Added Finish from Silk Degumming Waste Liquor
	Sericin is a hot water-soluble macromolecular globular protein. It represents a family of proteins having molecular mass of 10 to 310 kDa. Sericin envelops the fibroin fibre with successive sticky layers that help in the formation of cocoon. Sericin contributes about 20-30% of the total cocoon weight.

	Bio-and Nanotechnology in the Processing of Silk
	Being a minor regional fibre with a share of less than 1%, silk has not had the benefit of R&D effort as much as other fibers have. R&D in the field of chemical processing of silk is confined largely to China, Japan, Italy and India. Como in Italy being one of the major processing centres for the silk fabrics with a dedicated research association in Milan
