This document provides information on various types of fibres including plant fibres like cotton and jute, animal fibres like silk and wool, mineral fibres like asbestos and glass wool, and synthetic fibres like rayon and nylon. For each fibre, it describes the source, constituents, chemical tests, methods of preparation, and uses. It also includes information on other materials like kaolin, chalk, and diatomite.
Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under natural conditions, the cotton bolls will increase the dispersal of the seeds.
Cotton fiber-textiles touch every aspect of our lives. For years, cotton clothing, home furnishings and industrial goods have enhanced our quality of life by providing comfort, expression and individuality. Cotton fiber possesses a variety of distinct properties, and we know there are plenty of people who want to dig a little deeper.

Nature expresses itself in a wide spectrum of colours all around
us. The alchemy of colours started from an early time. Indians
have been forerunners in the art of natural dyeing. The advent
of synthetic dyes caused rapid decline in the use of natural dyes,
which were completely replaced by the former within a century.
Earlier understanding of dyeing techniques and their applications
was empirical and was not backed by scientific reasoning. Natural dyes are dyes or colorants derived from plants, invertebrates, or minerals. The majority of natural dyes are vegetable dyes from plant sources,Natural dyes are friendly and satisfying to use.

Surgical dressings are the materials used alone or in combination for protection and healing of wound
e.g. cotton, wool, rayon
Official requirements of surgical dressings are as;
They should be sterilized before use
They should be stored in dry-ventilated place at temperature not exceeding 250c
They should not be dyed unless mentioned in the monograph
There should not be any loose threads fibres-ends in dressings
They should be used with permitted prescribed concentrations only.
Sutures
Sutures are threads used for stiching the tissues like skin, muscles by using needle.
Two types of sutures;
Absorbable sutures: these are absorbed in the body
E.g catgut, kangaroo tendon and some synthetic polymers
Non-absorbable sutures: these are not absorbed by skin.
E.g silk, nylon
Requirements of sutures;
They must be sterile and cause no irritation

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Grote partijen zijn al een tijdje onderweg met retail media. Ondertussen worden in dit domein ook de kansen zichtbaar voor andere spelers in de markt. Maar met die kansen ontstaan ook vragen: Zelf retail media worden of erop adverteren? In welke fase van de funnel past het en hoe integreer je het in een mediaplan? Wat is nu precies het verschil met marketplaces en Programmatic ads? In dit half uur beslechten we de dilemma's en krijg je antwoorden op wanneer het voor jou tijd is om de volgende stap te zetten.
3. 1. Cotton
Syn: raw cotton, purified cotton,
absorbent cotton, surgical cotton
Source: epidermal trichomes or hairs of the seeds of the
cutivated species of the Gossypium species like
Gossipium herbaaccurrc, Gossipium barbadense
Family: Malvaceae
Purified or absorbent cotton: consists of trichomes but
freed from fatty matter and adhering impurities,
bleached & sterilized
GS: Commercially in India, US, Egypt
Constituents: raw cotton: 90% cellulose & 7-8% moisture,
wax, fat and remains of protoplasm
While purified-absorbent cotton-entirely cellulose with
6-7% moisture
4. Method
of preparation:
Plant after flowering, bears fruits known as capsule,
fruits are 3-5 celled
Each capsule contain numerous seeds
Seeds covered with the hairs are known as bolls.
The bolls are collected, dried and then taken to
ginning press, wherein trichome are separated
from seeds,
Various devices are used to separate the hairs.
The short & long hairs are separated from each
other.
The hairs with short length are known as linters and
are used for the manufacture of the absorbent
cotton.
5.
Long hairs are used for preparation of cloth.
The raw cotton is obtained by this way is full of
impurities like wax, fat, coloring matter, vegetable
debris etc
It is processed to get rid of most of the impurities.
It is taken to the machine known as cotton opener and
followed by treatment with dilute soda ash solution
under pressure for about 10-15 hours.
The wax, fatty material and coloring matter are
removed by this treatment.
It is then washed with water and treated with suitable
bleaching agent.
It is again washed with water, dried and carded into
flat sheets.
Finally packed in wrappers and sterilized by means of
gamma radiations.

Description:
Color: white due to bleaching, slightly off white if
sterlized
Taste: tasteless
Size: 2.5-4.5 cm I length and 25-35 micron in diameter
Free from pieces of leaves, seed coat, foreign matter
and dust.
Chemical Test:
Soak cotton fibre in iodine water & dry add few ml of
80% H2SO4, trichome assume purplish-blue or bluishgreen color
Ammonical copper oxide solution (cuoxam reagent)
dissolves raw cotton fibres with the formation of
balloons, while absorbent cotton dissolves completely
with uniform swelling.
Cotton is insoluble in dilute sodium hydroxide solution
and HCl (distinction from silk)
Cotton is soluble in 55% H2SO4
7. Uses:
Filtering
medium
Surgical dressing
Insulating material
Absorbent cotton: absorbs blood, mucus, pus and
prevents the wound from infections.
Storage:
cool place
Bacterial infection makes cotton friable & brittle
Should be wrapped in wrappers so as to prevent
the dust and microbial contamination.
Heat and long storage, makes absorbent cotton,
less absorbent.

10. Method
of preparation:
The larvae of the silkworm produce silk fibroin fibres
from the glands in their mouth
This fibroin gets united with a gum like secretion
known as sericin and forms cocoon
These cocoons are not allowed to grow further into
an insect, but are heated to 60-80 degree C by
exposing them to steam.
The exposed cocoons are put into hot water to
