Electrospining is a novel technology utilizing electrostatic force to produce nanofibres. It can be used for fibre diameter from 10 μm to 10nm.Electrospinning, though recently highlighted, is not a new process. The process was pateneted by Formhals in 1934....

In recent years, the term "nanotechnology" has spread across the globe like wildfire. Millions of dollars in research grants and investments are being devoted to making products less than 100 nanometers in size. Unlike many other aspects of the traditional textile industry in the United States which is said to be on...

Electrospinning can be described as a process to produce fibers ranging from a few nanometers to several micrometers in diameter. This process utilizes the electrostatic attraction between a charged polymer and a grounded or oppositely charged collection plate within an electric field...

Technology is the key enabler for rapid growth of the textile engineering industry. Efforts should therefore be directed towards technical upgradation of the textile engineering industry, technology transfer, re-engineering, promotion of joint ventures, BPO and R&D efforts. Technology and brand play the...

The Textile Engineering Industry (TEI) is, undoubtedly, one of the largest component of the Indian capital goods industry and has contributed significantly to the growth of the Indian textile industry. The TEI directly employs about 50,000 workers and has capital investment in the range of US $ 423.93 Mn., with an...

The Indian textile engineering industry, which is more than five decades old, is ranked first among the capital goods sector of the engineering industry. The textile engineering industry has expanded rapidly and its annual installed capacity is Rs.38, 000 million per annum, employing more than 50,000 workers. Though...
