Agrotech-Agro textiles-Textiles used in Agriculture are termed as agro textiles. They are used for crop protection, fertilisation, ... The essential properties required are strength, elongation, stiffness, and bio-degradation, resistance to sunlight and resistance to toxic environment. All these properties help with the growth and harvesting of crops and other foodstuffs. There is a growing interest in using materials which gradually degrade.
Some of the examples of agro textiles are:
Preventing erosion and paving way for afforestation in greenhouse cover and fishing nets.
For Layer separation in fields, nets for plants, rootless plants & protecting grassy areas.
As sun screens (since they have adjustable screening) and wind shields.
As packing material and in bags for storing grass (that has been mowed).
Controlling stretch in knitted nets.
Shade for basins.
Anti-birds nets.
Fabrics for sifting and separation, for the phases of enlargement of the larvae.

Color fastness properties of different reactive dyesAzmir Latif Beg
In knitwear industry, dyeing of cotton knitted fabrics is mostly done with reactive dyes, because of their good fastness properties and versatility of applications. The ease of application, wide shade range, high brilliancy and excellent wet fastness properties make the reactive dyes preferred choice for the dyeing of cellulosic fabrics. The most important characteristic of reactive dyes is the formation of covalent bonds with the substrate to be colored, i.e. the dye forms a chemical bond with cellulose. Fiber reactive dyes are the most permanent of all dye types. Unlike other dyes, it actually forms a covalent bond with the cellulose or protein molecule. Once the bond is formed, what you have is one molecule, as the dye molecule has become an actual part of the cellulose fiber molecule.
Yarn printing is also known as “Space Dyeing”. Although the printing of yarns for true patterned effects proved very difficult tom control, the random space-dyed effects that can be more readily attained by a variety of yarn-printing methods have continued to be popular. The patent literature abounds with systems for producing colored flecked effects on yarns but the two most successful methods entail either warp printing or color application to a tubular knitted ‘sock’. The essential process sequence begins with dye liquor application, followed by steam fixation, washing-off and drying .
Flat knitting is a method for producing knitted fabrics in which the work is turned periodically, i.e., the fabric is worked with alternating sides facing the knitter. A "Flat" or Vee Bed knitting machine consists of 2 flat needle beds arranged in an upside-down "V" formation.

It is an independent documentation of the safety of your products by ensuring that they comply with EU standards.
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR) and TextileAzmir Latif Beg
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a solid, liquid or gas. FTIR offers quantitative and qualitative analysis for organic and inorganic samples. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) identifies chemical bonds in fiber. By FTIR we only know the name of fiber is identified. By this technique we can identify the exact composition of fiber like 80 % polyester 20 % cotton.
The design, manufacture and applications of fibre composites in space and aerospace has become one of the most predominant aspects in present-day textiles.
The applications of fibre composites in
space suits for launch and space walks
require zero defect performance.
They are made from PBI non-flammable
high performance fibres, which require
air purifying, cooling and pressurising
systems, so that the suit should be
thermal resistant and thermal insulated

Courier management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
It is now-a-days very important for the people to send or receive articles like imported furniture, electronic items, gifts, business goods and the like. People depend vastly on different transport systems which mostly use the manual way of receiving and delivering the articles. There is no way to track the articles till they are received and there is no way to let the customer know what happened in transit, once he booked some articles. In such a situation, we need a system which completely computerizes the cargo activities including time to time tracking of the articles sent. This need is fulfilled by Courier Management System software which is online software for the cargo management people that enables them to receive the goods from a source and send them to a required destination and track their status from time to time.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Automobile Management System Project Report.pdfKamal Acharya
The proposed project is developed to manage the automobile in the automobile dealer company. The main module in this project is login, automobile management, customer management, sales, complaints and reports. The first module is the login. The automobile showroom owner should login to the project for usage. The username and password are verified and if it is correct, next form opens. If the username and password are not correct, it shows the error message.
When a customer search for a automobile, if the automobile is available, they will be taken to a page that shows the details of the automobile including automobile name, automobile ID, quantity, price etc. “Automobile Management System” is useful for maintaining automobiles, customers effectively and hence helps for establishing good relation between customer and automobile organization. It contains various customized modules for effectively maintaining automobiles and stock information accurately and safely.
When the automobile is sold to the customer, stock will be reduced automatically. When a new purchase is made, stock will be increased automatically. While selecting automobiles for sale, the proposed software will automatically check for total number of available stock of that particular item, if the total stock of that particular item is less than 5, software will notify the user to purchase the particular item.
Also when the user tries to sale items which are not in stock, the system will prompt the user that the stock is not enough. Customers of this system can search for a automobile; can purchase a automobile easily by selecting fast. On the other hand the stock of automobiles can be maintained perfectly by the automobile shop manager overcoming the drawbacks of existing system.

3. HISTORY
• Till 19th
century military land battles were fought at close
range by individual engagements. ‘Danger’ colors such as
scarlet( bright red) were widely used.
• At turn of the 20th century advances in technology
provided lethal long-range weapons with improved
sighting.
• These caused rapid changes in military strategy and
tactics, as engagements could be made at a distance.
• Today its important to hide troops and equipment by
blending in with the background.
4. CONT…
• The British Forces adopted khaki coloured uniforms
• The first khaki drill (or KD) made from cotton twill entered
service for tropical use in 1902.
• In the 1930s the UK War Office became increasingly
aware of the need for new and more rational combat
dress to meet the needs of mechanisation on land, sea,
and in the air.
• This was to provide Better protection, comfort, and
practicality.
• lightweight windproof cotton gaberdine fabric, with
having rudimentary camouflage patterning, was
introduced for airborne paratroopers in 1941.
5. SOLDIER EQUIPMENT
Today, soldiers are involved in all military conflicts. The soldier’s combat spirit and
effectiveness on the battlefield is highly dependent on technical supply, weaponry,
personal satisfaction and even comfort conditions. Therefore, huge attention is
paid to the soldier’s equipage and medical assistance, the monitoring of his
physical and psychological state. This not only helps to raise the combat spirit of
soldiers, but also to reduce the manpower losses in the battlefield.
6. Criteria for modern military textile materials:
• military textiles will be discussed here under:
– physical, environmental, camouflage, specific battlefield threats, and the
economic considerations.
In general military textiles must;
Light weight and
low bulk
Because
High durability and
Dimensional stability
Because
Items have to be carried by
individuals or vehicles with
minimal space available
Must operate reliably in
adverse conditions for long
periods of time without
maintenance.
7. MILITARY COMBAT CLOTHING SYSTEMS
• Based upon the layer principle.
• Each layer performs a specific function.
• Special protective layers are added, including:
– A ballistic protection system comprising body armor and
– A helmet, a nuclear, biological and chemical over suit, and a
snow camouflage over suit
8. ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
Property Comments
Water Repellant, Water Proof
Wind Proof, Snow Shedding
For exterior materials exposed to cold/wet
weather
Water vapor permeable For clothing and personal equipments (tents)
Thermally insulating For Cold climates
Rot-resistant For tents, covers, nets etc.
UV light resistant For environments with strong sunlight
Air permeable. For hot tropical climates
Biodegradable If discarded or buried
9. UNDERWEAR GARMENTS
• Textile materials used for next-to-skin clothing are
primarily worn for hygiene reasons.
• The thermal insulation properties tend to be less
important than the tactile properties and the way the
material handles moisture (mainly perspiration) in
order to remove it form the skin.
• Military combat underwear fabric used by many
nations need to be made from non-thermoplastic
fibers to minimize contact melt/burn injuries.
• The perspiration and handling properties of knitted
underwear materials are extremely critical for military
use.
10. THERMAL INSULATION MATERIALS
• Military forces need to survive and fight in the most extreme
conditions.
• Cold/Wet regions tend to cause the most severe problems, as
it is necessary to provide and maintain dry thermal insulation
materials.
• Cold/Dry areas, including the arctic, Antarctic, and
mountainous regions require the carriage and use of clothing
and sleeping bags which possess high levels of thermal
insulation.
• Military forces are prone to sacrificing thermal comfort for
light weight and low bulk items.
11. WATER VAPOUR PERMEABLE/WATER PROOF
MATERIALS
• One of the incompatibilities in technical textiles is that
associated with providing waterproof materials which allow free
passage of water vapor (perspiration). Without this facility,
physiological problems can occur when impermeable clothing is
worn by highly active soldiers.
• In the most extreme war operations individuals cannot choose
either the climatic conditions or the intensity of their activities.
This can result in injury or death due to hypothermia or
hyperthermia.
• Since around 1980,appreciable effort has been expended by
polymer and textile manufactures to solve this problem.
• There are now a wide range of woven, coated,or laminated
fabrics which are waterproof and water vapour permeable.
12. TYPES OF WATER VAPOUR PERMEABLE
BARRIER FABRICS
• High density woven fabrics:
Are made by Ventile cotton fabric. There are also a
range of fabrics based on woven microfiber polyester.
• Microporous coatings and films:
Are widely available in many variants. Such membrane
are typified by having microporous voids of pore sizes
from 0.1-5 um. The most well-known product, Gore-Tex,
utilizes a microporous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
membrane.
13. CAMOUFLAGE GARMENTS
• The word camouflage was first introduced by the
French during World War I to define the
concealment of objects and people by the
imitation of their physical surroundings, in order
to survive.
14. FLAME-RETARDANT TEXTILES IN MILITARY USE
• Although the range of flame-retardant products is large, the
actual number of types used by military forces is quite small.
• The most widely used of these is Proban treated cotton, a tetrakis
hydroxymethyl phosphonium hydroxide product, bound to the
fiber and cured in ammonia,
• Advantages - wide availability and low cost. Its resistant to many
launderings, and gives good protection with low thermal
shrinkage in fire.
• Disadvantages -it liberates fumes and smoke when activated, the
treatment can weaken the fabric or spoil its handle, and it must
not be laundered using soap and hard water, as these can leave
flammable residues in fabric

18. BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL WARFARE PROTECTION
• Biological and chemical warfare is a constant world
threat.
• The toxic agents used are relatively easy to produce
and their effects are emotionally and lethally horrific to
the general population.
• They are weapons of mass destruction e.g syria.
• The fact that they have not been used in recent
conflicts may be due, in part, to the difficulty of
delivering and disseminating such weapons onto
specific chosen targets
• It has been suggested that such weapons have been
used in Syria in the recent crisis
19. CONT…
• Most current clothing systems use activated carbon on a textile
substrate to absorb the agent vapour.
• Activated carbon can be used in the form of a finely divided
powder coating, small beads, or in carbon fiber fabric form.
• This form of carbon has a highly developed pore structure and a
high surface area, enabling the adsorption of a wide spectrum of
toxic gases.
• Those with boiling points greater than 60o
C are readily physically
adsorbed on the charcoal, but vapours boiling at lower
temperatures must be chemically removed by impregnants
supported on the carbon.
22. TEXTILE MATERIALS FOR BALLISTIC PROTECTION
• Textile body armours may give protection against fragments
and low velocity bullets, but not against other threats such as
high velocity Bullets.
• Textile armours are also defeated by flechettes, which are
small, sharp, needle-shaped objects, disseminated in large
numbers by exploding warheads or shells.
• In the case of these high speed projectiles we have to resort to
using shaped plates made from metals, composites or
ceramics. These are placed over the vital organs such as the
heart .
23. CONT…
• Since the 1970s a range of aromatic polyamide fibers have been
developed (para-aramids). Fibers such as Kevlar (Du Pont) and
Twaron (Enka) are available in a wide range of decitexes and
finishes.
• A range of ultra high modules polyethylene (UHMPE) fibers have
been developed. They are typically gel spun polyethylene (GSPE)
fibers, with trade names such as Dyneema (DSM) and Spectra.
25. DEVELOPMENT IN MILITARY TEXTILES
• Some of the recent developments in military clothing include
progress made in minimizing weight and maximizing wear
comfort
• Militants are also turning to nanotechnology in an effort to make
their armed forces more mobile and better protected from enemy
assaults. Through nanotechnology, new personnel camouflage
systems can be developed that can change pattern and colors as
environment changes.
• “Chameleonic” camouflage allows the soldier to become a
mirror of his surroundings. Other nanotechnological
developments include the use of fibers which can stimulate
muscles and thereby give soldiers greater strength for lifting or
jumping
26. Chameleonic camouflage
• Development efforts are also underway to make
next-to-skin garments from electronic textiles
which can determine a soldier’s physiological
status including heartbeat, blood pressure,
respiration and body
temperature.
27.
28. BATTLEFIELD RECONNAISSANCE EQUIPMENT
Receiving the information on the enemy's
force structure, its location, and potential.
unmanned air vehicles;
radars;
sonars;
space satellites.
29. MILITARY ROBOTS
Robots play a constantly increasing role in warfare –
they are unmanned aerial reconnaissance and combat
vehicles, demining robots, (e.g. “SPIKER”, “RASP”),
universal military robots capable of substituting
soldiers (“Warrior 700”), robots making corridors in
mine fields etc. Nevertheless, the ethical issues on the
applications of robots in warfare and the problems of
the latters’ consistency with Geneva conventions
appear already.
30. ANTI-MISSILE SHIELD
In case of global military conflict, the role of anti-
missile defence becomes very important. Although
anti-missile defence with a hundred percent
reliability was not reached by any country, huge
efforts are put into this area. For this purpose early
attack detection systems, controllable rockets, high
power lasers are used.
