This document investigates reducing uneven shade problems in compact single jersey cotton knit fabrics dyed with turquoise reactive dyes. Scanning electron microscopy shows that stripping and scouring combined increases fabric porosity compared to scouring alone, allowing better dye penetration. Color measurement testing finds that combining stripping and scouring results in more consistent dye absorption and less uneven shading than separate processes, with CMC ΔE values below 1 indicating acceptable color matches. In conclusion, performing stripping and scouring simultaneously on compact single jersey fabrics before dyeing with turquoise reduces uneven dyeing compared to conventional pretreatment methods.

Mordanting
Mordants are used to improve the bond between the dye and the fabric, as well as extending the range of hues that can be obtained from the dyestuff. To make the mordant take better, an ‘assistant’ can be added, which may mean less mordant is needed. The main problem is that typical mordants are based on heavy metals which are extremely toxic, causing environmental problems and presenting health threats to workers if not properly trained.
Each colour of disperse dyes requires different raw materials. Because the range of colours is very large each colour has its own manufacturing process. The difference in the processes is primarily in the reaction period.
Dyeing is the application of dyes or pigments on textile materials such as fibers, yarns, and fabrics with the goal of achieving color with desired color fastness. Dyeing is normally done in a special solution containing dyes and particular chemical material. … In dyeing, it is applied to the entire textile.

Dyeing of fabric blends such as Polyester/Cotton (P/C) is presently done with two
chemically different classes of dyes namely disperse for polyester and reactive for cotton, in
two bath process. Experimental work was carried out on finding the possibility of dyeing the
P/C blends in one bath process without drain the liquor after polyester part dyeing. All the
existing chemical and conventional temperature range were applied in this study. The result
indicates that, the using of one bath method in the polyester cotton dyeing can slightly change
the fastness properties than the conventional method. The one bath dyeing method showed
level dyeing having good fastness properties and offers the option of cost effective and ecofriendly
dyeing process.

Mouth dissolving tablets- A unique dosage form curtailed for special purpose:...IOSR Journals
The concept of mouth dissolving tablets known as MDTs has emerged with an objective to improve patient’s compliance. Methods to improve patient’s compliance have always attracted scientists towards the development of fancy oral drug delivery systems. Among them, mouth dissolving drug delivery systems (MDDDS) have obtained an important position in the market by overcoming previously encountered administration problems and contributing to extension of patent life. These dosage forms rapidly disintegrate in contact with saliva even within <60 seconds, an attribute that makes them highly attractive for paediatric, geriatric, bedridden patients and for active patients who are busy and in travelling may not have access to water. This special dosage form has some prerequisite criteria for formulation and this also involves the use of special techniques for large scale industrial production. The aim of this article is to review the advantages and disadvantages of MDTs, common excipients used in the formulation especially highlighting the use of superdisintegrating agents and taste masking agents in formulation and finally the popular methods used to produce large scale tablets for commercial purpose.

The detection and measurement of radionuclides in feed coal, bottom ash and fly ash samples collected from Barapukuria 2×125 MW coal-fired thermal power plant in Dinajpur district of Bangladesh, have been performed by gamma ray spectrometry technique. The average activity concentrations of 226Ra, 232Th and 40K in feed coal, bottom ash and fly ash samples were 10.46±5.24, 23.50±10.88 and 232.23±131.94 Bqkg-1; 56.91±2.77, 69.22±4.26 and 189.79±64.65 Bqkg-1; and 70.91±2.90, 115.26±5.79 and 205.53±65.56 Bqkg-1; respectively. These measured values were compared with other literature values. The calculated absorbed dose rates were found higher than the worldwide average values for both the bottom ash and fly ash samples. Moreover, the radium equivalent activity in all the samples was less than 370 Bqkg-1 and external hazard indices were less than unity (except in FA-1). Therefore, there is no probability of immediate health effect on workers and public due to natural radioactivity present in the samples.
Micellar Aided Chromogenic Reagents for Simultaneous Spectrophotometric Deter...IOSR Journals
Simple and novel spectrophotometric method is described for simultaneous determination of
aluminium and iron. The method is based on the metal ions - complexes formed by aluminium and iron with
mixed chromogenic reagents of 1, 10 phenanthroline and 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine). The derivatives have
absorption maxima at 400 nm and 510 nm respectively in the presence of cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide
(CTAB) as micellar media (surfactant) maintained at pH 5. Reaction conditions were optimized and the linear
dynamic ranges for determination of aluminum and iron were found be 0.8 – 12.0 μg/mL and 0.6 – 8.0 μg/mL
respectively. The standard deviation (S.D) and coefficient of variation (CV) for the simultaneous determination
was 0.018 and 0.45% for aluminium and 0.03 and 1.5% for iron (II). The recoveries were between 102 % and
106 %, 101.2 % and 104 % for aluminium and iron respectively at 95 % confidence level (p≥0.05). The
proposed method was successfully applied to the assay of aluminium and iron in rock minerals, lubricating oil
and water samples. The results and paired t-test for the analyzed samples were found to be in satisfactory
agreement (shows no significant difference) with those acquired by the flame atomic absorption
spectrophotometric (FAAS) technique.

Effect of Alternative Scouring Agents on Dyeing Properties of Cotton/Polyeste...IOSR Journals
This research comprises of six alternative agents ((NH4)2C2O4, liquid NH3, CH3COOH, NH4OH, (COOH) 2, CH3CH2OH) at various concentrations of 1-5% used as scouring agents with NaOH as control on cotton/polyester blend fabric. The samples were bleached, mercerized and dyed. The suitability and reliability of the agents were evaluated for dyeing properties of the treated fabric. Water imbibing properties of the treated fabric, was investigated. The experimental results showed that the percentage exhaustion of indigo dye on the treated fabric were wonderful with values far above average (86.8-62.6%) except for 1% (NH4)2C2O4 that recorded slightly below average (49.7%). 2% liquid NH3 ranked the highest. The wash fastness is another interesting results where only 1-5% liquid NH3, 2% and 4% (NH4)2C2O4 that gave a grey scale rating for wash fastness of 4 (very good). The other alternative agents strongly competed at various concentrations with the control which revealed a rating of 5 (excellent wash fastness). 4% (NH4)2C2O4 scoured fabrics recorded the highest water of imbibitions (2.9 g). This implies that the alternative agents are suitable and reliable as impurity-removing (scouring) agents. The alternative agents improved the dyeing and water imbibing properties of the treated fabric far better than the control. Therefore could be employed in the textile industry.

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

Abstract: Most dyes do not chemically react with the cellulose molecule to affix the color. True chemical
reaction between cellulose and the dye molecule occurs with reactive dyes. But some of reactive colors such as
turquoise have definite properties which mostly yield even shade with the single jersey cotton fabric which GSM
ranges from 120 to 160. Because such fabrics having quite relatively compact structure that does not allow
proper penetration of dye molecules evenly into fiber polymer system. Due to those problems, the knit dyeing
factories in Bangladesh have been facing a lot of problems. In present days, these factories are practicing re-
dyeing like toping and stripping and dyeing. To solve this problem, the compact single jersey fabric may be
treated in different manner in the preparatory stage. The conventional pretreatment process involved scouring,
bleaching before dyeing. By using stripping process at preparatory stage may reduce uneven shade problem
during coloration of turquoise color of reactive dye.
Keywords - Compact Single Jersey, Grey Stripping, GSM, reactive dyes, Turquoise Color.
I. Introduction
The introduction of the paper should explain the nature of the problem, previous work, purpose, and the
contribution of the paper. A T-shirt (or T shirt, tee-shirt, or tee) is Reactive dyeing is now the most important
method for the coloration of cellulosic fibers. Reactive dyes have a low utilization degree compared to other
types of dyestuff, since the functional group also bonds to water, creating hydrolysis of Reactive Dye. Reactive
dyes have good fastness properties owing to the bonding that occurs during dyeing. Cotton is made of cellulose
molecules which react with the dye. During reactive dyeing the H atom in the cellulose molecule combines with
the Chlorine atom in the dyeing process and results in a bond. Tri-functional dyestuffs also exist [1].
Roll to roll shade variation always confused for matching the batch with standard shade and produces a
variety of shade within a batch. This is a result of mixing of fabric roll produced from different fiber lot, yarn
count, GSM, structure and even sometime for different machines. So to avoid such problems one has to avoid
mixing of different types of fabrics. Patchy is the real uneven dyeing; this may result of uneven absorbency,
electrolytes (salt) alkaline pH, uneven and sudden alkali dosing, wrong dye combinations, improper mixing of
dyes, improper neutralization after scouring-bleaching and dyeing, fabric entanglement during process etc. If
above mentioned points are under controlled then possibility of patchy is very low. It is the solution only for
batch to batch shade variation but uneven shade problem need to be considered in case of compact single jersey
fabrics. Color spot is the result of improper color mixing (very serious issue in case of turquoise dyes as their
dye molecules are comparatively larger), water hardness and presence of heavy metal sulphate, sulphides,
sulphites & alkali especially caustic soda. Water treatment plant, sequestering agent and proper mixing of dyes
are fundamental solution of this problem. White specks are mainly yarn problem i.e. dead or immature fibers.
Moreover contamination in water, improper dissolve of alkali and presence of silica based chemical before
dyeing also arise white spots. Excluding yarn quality; WTP, proper handling of caustic and de-finishing
removing silica based finishes, incase processing of finished fabric with such finishing chemicals, are necessary
to solve such problem. Only color spot can be removed by above this process but uneven shade problem may
not be reduced by using this process. So need to be considered solution for reducing uneven shade problem in
the knit fabric. Meter to meter shade variation is a typical shade variation problem. Very short dyeing arise
unleveled dyeing. Furthermore, it was found that, imbalance dosing time, run time and temperature gradient of
each step with cycle time of fabric is responsible for meter-to-meter shade variation. Six batches are dyed with
linear dosing system, in case of alkali & per-oxide dosing of scouring bleaching and dyes, salt, alkali of dyeing,
on this aspect and described in methodology and result section. By controlling proper addition of dyes,

electrolytes, and alkali dosing, meter to meter shade variation can be removed but random uneven shade
problem may be minimized by adopting grey fabric stripping process in the compact single jersey [1].
Roll to roll shade variation, patchy dye, color spot could be minimized by controlling knitting process,
dyeing parameter etc. but uneven shade problem may be minimized by grey fabric stripping before dyeing. Due
to the compactness of the fabric structure dye molecules may not penetrate into the cotton fiber core. Stripping
may reduce the compactness of the fabric as well as increase the size of the porosity of cotton fiber so that the
dye molecules may enter the fiber polymer system. So stripping may be performed in the gray fabric to reduce
such type of problem. It may be the latest concept to remove uneven shade problem in case compact single
jersey with reactive turquoise colorants.
II. Materials
2.1 Material used
Compact single jersey cotton fabric
Single jersey fabrics are based on plain structure used to produce fully fashioned knitwear. Plain is a knit
structure family, which is produced by the needles of only one set needle with all the loops intermeshed in the
same direction. Although plain knit family encompasses a great number of structures all produced on single
needle bed. The basic element of knit fabric structure is the loop intermeshed with the loops adjacent to it on
both sides and above and below it [2].
Turquoise color reactive dyes
In 1954, dyes were discovered which containing dichlorotriazinyl group could be applied from aqueous solution
and caused to form a covalent bond with cellulose by increasing the pH. This discovery resulted in the first
commercial reactive dyes for cellulose, the procion dyes, being marketed in 1956 [3].

3.4 Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) test
The characterization of textile materials has employed many microscopic techniques such as optical
and electron microscopy. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) uses electrons rather than light to form an
image. An SEM can produce high resolution and depth of field of images, and provides useful tools for
examining structural and surface characteristics of textile materials. The specimen to be observed in the SEM
must remain at a constant potential during examination. Specimens that are not naturally conductive have to be
coated with a thin layer of a conductive material. A development in electron microscopy in the form of an
ESEM opens up new possibilities for textile research. In the ESEM, specimens can be hydrated or dehydrated
by controlling the temperature of the specimens and the chamber pressure in favor of water condensation or
evaporation at different relative humidity. The SEM is specifically suited to dynamic experimentation of the
micron scale and below. SEM technology allows dynamic experiments at a range of pressures, temperatures and
under a variety of gases/fluids. Some accessories can also be added into an SEM to expand its observation
capacity for characterizing textile materials. The SEM is able to physically examine virtually any textile
materials without any special preparation or conductive coating. [4].
Rapid, high resolution imaging with identification of elements present. Spatially resolved quantitative
EDX (EDA) analysis of user defined areas on sample surface. Characterization of particulates and defects.

3.5 CMC value measurement
The color of an object depends on the relative quantity of the light reflected or transmitted at different
wavelengths within the visible range (400-700 nm). Spectrophotometric measurements provide the numerical
description of the reflection or transmission of light by an object. The reflection or transmission spectrum gives
the fraction of the incident light that an object reflects or transmits as a function of wavelength. For color
measurement on textiles correct sampling is important.
The result was analyzed by a CIELAB color system. CIE (Commission Internationale de I’Eclairage)
color coordinates include color qualities in terms of L* (lightness and darkness), a* (redness and greenness), b*
(yellowness and blueness), C* (chroma) and H (hue angle, the angle of the anticlockwise movement from an
axis of +a* direction, that is, +a*=00, +b*=900, -a*=1800, and –b*= 2700). The ΔE values of differently dyed
fabrics. ΔE value contains the information of color depth, shade, and the hue of a sample [5]. ΔE value is
calculated by using the CIE L*, a*, and b* values with the equation;
ΔE = (ΔL*2 + Δa*2 + Δb*2)1/2
where ΔL*, Δa*, and Δb* values were the difference between L*, a*, and b* values of a pair of color standard
and sample.
The values of C* and H are calculated from a* and b* as;
C* = (a*2 + b*2)1/2
H = tan-1(b*/a*)
The larger the ΔE value, the greater would be the color difference between this pair of color standard and
sample. The experiment was carried out under light source of D 65 at 100 and the outputs showed satisfactory
results remarked as “pass” for pairs of samples having a value of CMC DE value less than 1.00 will be an
acceptable match.
3.6 K/S value measurement
Colorant formulation procedures for spectrophotometric matching use the Kubelka–Munk equation
relating the absorption and scattering coefficients and the concentrations of the colorants in the sample with its
overall reflectance [5]. The global Kubelka–Munk K/S value at a given wavelength is:
K/S = (1-R) 2/2R
Where K and S are the respective values of the absorption and scattering coefficients of the various dyed and of
the undyed textile materials. R is the reflectance of a sample of fabric that is sufficiently thick to prevent light
transmission through it.

Fig.3: SEM representation of the combined stripped & scoured white fabric
The SEM result of scoured white fabric showed that the fabric appeared brighter may reflect more light
due to its compactness and finer cross-section (5.6 μm, 10.1 μm, 12.8 μm, 16.2 μm etc.) was found that express
the smaller size porosity than the combined stripped & scoured white fabric. That may limit the dye molecules
absorption by the fabric. But combined stripped & scoured white fabric absorb more light due to the looseness
of fabric structure and coarser cross-section (9.43 μm, 14.2 μm, 19.3 μm, 21.7 μm etc.) was found that occupied
larger size porosity on its surface which might allow easily penetration of lager size dye molecules that may
reduce the uneven shade problem.
4.2 CMC value test result
Fig.4: Graphical presentation of CMC value
In the comparison between separate stripping & scouring verses combinedly stripped & scoured
samples gave CMC DE value 0.12 (sample 1) and 0.50 (sample 2) that express pass because their dye molecules
absorption were same. In the comparison between separately stripped & scoured verses scoured samples gave
CMC DE value 1.36 (sample 1) and 1.29 (sample 2) that express fail because their dye molecules absorption
were not same. Similarly In the comparison between combined stripping scouring verses scouring gave CMC
DE value 1.26 (sample 1) and 1.59 (sample 2) that express fail because their dye molecules absorption were not
same.

Fig.5: Graphical presentation of K/S value of different dyed samples
The reflection of a standard sample closely matched that of dyed samples using a mixture of similar
dyes, where the pairs of samples had a CMC DE value less than 1.00, the value of K/S for the standard sample
at any wavelength was approximately equal to that for the matching dyeing at that wavelength. Where the pairs
of samples had a CMC DE value more than 1.00, the reflections was not matched as well as the K/S values were
also unequal. These outcomes showed the instrumental compare for color matching assessments.
V. Conclusion
The study found that grey fabric stripping reduced in uneven shade in case of compact single jersey
knit fabric when it was dyed with turquoise color of reactive dye. On the other hand conventional dyeing
process gives uneven shade and need to be stripped after dyeing and re-dyeing to match the shade with losing
fabric strength and other fabric quality. Different types of physical quality tests also exhibited that the combined
stripping and scouring process gave better result than other processes. Ball bursting strength of the separately
stripped and scoured dyed fabric is 1.95 N less than that of the grey fabric. The wash fastness and rubbing
fastness tests of different dyed samples may not be revealed significant difference. In the comparison of
combined stripped & scoured dyed fabric and separately stripped & scoured dyed fabric would be tabulated pass
with CMC DE value 0.12 (sample 1) and 0.50 (sample 2) but in the comparison of combined stripped & scoured
dyed fabric with the scoured dyed fabric would be showed failed with CMC DE value 1.36 (sample 1) and 1.29
(sample 2) due to non-uniform absorbency of dye molecules. In case of SEM combined stripped & scoured
fabric would be shown larger porous on the cotton fabric surface due to the action of hydrose but only scoured
would not shown larger porous on the cotton fabric surface due to the absence of action of hydrose because
partial breakage of hydrogen bonds. As a result larger turquoise color dye molecules could be penetrated more
evenly into the cotton fiber core of the combined stripped & scoured dyed which might help to reduce uneven
shade problem in case compact single jersey knit fabric. Due to the lack of larger capacity machine, higher
amount of sample could not be dyed at a time that deviate the exact result in the different physical quality tests.
Hand feel, softness, hairiness could not be determined due to lack suitable testing equipments. Stripping only
carried out by using hydrose but it may be carried out by bleaching powder or enzyme.
