  • A Study of Women's Scarf Made up of Mik Casein Fabric
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 5 May 2020 | ISSN: 2320-28820 A STUDY OF WOMEN'S SCARF MADE UP OF MIK CASEIN FABRIC 1Akshatha HN 1Asst. Professor 1BangaloreUniversity ABSTRACT The objective of this case study is to understand that milk fabric is used to make the scarf using Tie and dye method . In this case, ‘Tie & Dye’ method has been used to give color to the fabric with the help of acid dyeing. Milk fabric is manufactured by knitting. It is a delicate fabric, hence it is preferably used for giving a beautifying and decorative look to the wearer. In this case study, scarves are made from milk fabric. Different cut shapes of scarves including square & rectangle have been introduced to the market. In order to enhance the overall look of the scarf, embellishment is done on the scarf with lace. Keeping the summer collection in mind, Tie & Die method has been used to bring out the bright & colorful features in the scarf. The major significance of this collection lies in satisfying customers, no collection is complete without feedback from customers as every collection should be directed towards market segmentation. A detailed market survey has been conducted through a set of questionnaire which covers all the aspects and parameters that decide the potentiality of this collection. INTRODUCTION .Different sorts of natural fibers were used by people of all nations around the world for ages and various fabric forming techniques allowed them to have different sorts of textile for making clothes. Later, with the development of chemical technologies the number of available materials has ballooned.

QMILK is the pioneer in sustainable products and milk proteins from manufacturing. QMILK fibers are a new functional material with interesting properties. Hence improves on the one hand material deficits, but also new opportunities for product development with clear added value created for Non-food milk. health and the environment. QMILK started with a small blender in the kitchen. The young lady who is the founder is a micro biologist and makes diary proteins which are future oriented inventions, which of course are not only 100% natural, but are also sustainably produced. Her promise - an organic polymer free of solvents, plasticizers and adimids, she developed about 3000 recipes. Also, the properties of the material which enable to be eg hard or flexible. So all conventional plastics from petroleum can “ be replaced. QMILK FIBER QMILK FIBER QMILK is based on the polymer milk protein casein. The casein is manufactured from raw milk, MISSION NATURE ! that is no longer capable of consumption and according to legal regulations can’t be used as food.

  • Eco-Friendly Manufacturing Process of Casein Fiber with It's Sustainable
    American Journal of Environmental Engineering 2019, 9(2): 31-35 DOI: 10.5923/j.ajee.20190902.02 Eco-friendly Manufacturing Process of Casein Fiber with It’s Sustainable Features & Comfortable Uses Nishat Tasnim M.Sc (On Going) in Yarn Engineering, (BUTEX), B.Sc in Textile Engineering (KUET), Tejgaon, Dhaka, Bangladesh Abstract In this modern era with the improvement in technology, people can realize that they can only survive, if our nature survives. So scientists are trying their best to cooperate with our mother like environment by reducing the amount of waste product. Again people are very conscious about different diseases even if while dressing themselves up. From all these thoughts he casein or milk fiber is discovered which may help both the human being & the nature. From the huge amount of discarded milk, a special type of fabric can be produced which is silky, smooth, very desirable for high fashion, appealing to high end consumers who are not only interested in ecology but also the economic & social responsibility supporting the fashionable collections. This article is all about the manufacturing process of casein fiber, it’s special features & comfortable uses. Again there are some techniques of producing casein fiber which are beyond any kind of harm to the environment. With the interest in & the use of this textile fiber growing, supply is challenged to meet the demand. So this article is very well suited with the modernization of the textile sector. It is an overview of the casein fiber & garments which also includes it’s drawbacks & the points which require further improvement.

    www.fibre2fashion.com Image Courtesy: nouink.blogspot.com www.fibre2fashion.com Milk Fibre By: G.M. Faysal Introduction: The most important material of milk fiber is milk protein, which contains 17 kinds of amino acids, and with natural and permanent bacteriostatic function, the bacteriostatic rate to those bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, fungal and disease mildew is up to more than 80%.The plentiful natural protein humectant factor is contained in the milk fiber, which makes skin more delicate and smooth, so it is suitable for household textiles. Milk fiber is a blend of casein protein and the chemical acrylonitrile, which is used to make acrylic. It’s made using a process that is similar to rayon/viscose, but because it’s a regenerated protein fiber and not a regenerated cellulose fiber, it reacts like wool. That means that it dyes like wool and even smells like wool when burned, according to Kiplinger. Milk Fiber was firstly introduced in 1930 in Italy & America to compete the wool. It is new generation of innovative Fiber & a kind of synthetic Fiber made of milk casein Fiber through bio-engineering method with biological health which has passed international ecological certification of oeko-tex standard 100. There are also some different brands for the same fiber manufactured from milk casein known as Aralac, Lanatil and Merinova. Milk Yarn Cyarn milk protein fiber dewaters and skims milk, and manufactures the protein spinning fluid suitable for wet spinning process by means of new bio-engineering technique, and new high-grade textile fiber is made by combining them.

  • Eco-Friendly Fibres
    www.fibre2fashion.com Eco-Friendly Fibres By: Megha .C. Karigar & H.S. Hanumanth Naik. 1 www.fibre2fashion.com ECO-FRIENDLY FIBRES By: Megha .C. Karigar & H.S. Hanumanth Naik. ABSTRACT The concern for the degrading environment conditions due to irresponsible use of chemical products have led to worldwide efforts to develop eco-friendly fibres in the ever expanding horizon of textile fibres with a vision to bring about a drastic reduction in global consumption of harmful non-biodegradable products. The highly competitive atmosphere and as the ecological parameters becoming more stringent, it becomes the prime concern of the textile industry to be conscious about ecology. More and more clothing companies are providing clothes made from eco-friendly fabrics. Demand for these clothes is increasing too. This makes sense given the environmental issues we're faced with in today's world. These eco-friendly fibres can be incorporated as whole or parts of materials and products of various forms and performance properties for wide ranging applications. This paper highlights some of the eco friendly fibres like Eco spun fibre, Soy silk fibre, Recycled polyester fibre, Corn fibre, Aloe Vera fibre, Nettle fibre, Pineapple fibre, Milk protein fibre, Bamboo fibre and Banana fibre. The worsening environment of the earth makes it a necessity to increase the pace of the ongoing research in the development of eco-friendly fibres and their utilization. 1. INTRODUCTION The history of clothing began with the history of humans, it is not certain when people first started wearing clothes however, anthropologists estimates that range between 1, 00,000 to 5, 00,000 years ago.

Maurice Shelton FOREWORD The author, Dr. Maurice Shelton, has worked with Angora goats in Texas for 34 years while in the employ of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, The Texas A&M University System. This time was not devoted entirely to Angora goats, but also included other types of sheep and goats, and to a limited extent, other livestock species as well. During much of this time, there were relatively few people working with sheep and goats and a very broad general approach to research was undertaken in the belief that this was the best use of resources.
