    Antimicrobial studies of knitted fabrics from bamboo, soybean and flax fibers at various blends
    (Journal of Textile Science & Engineering., 2015) Muhammad Qamar Tusief; Nabeel Amin; Mudassar Abass
    In the current study, the single jersey knitted fabric from natural fibers bamboo (Dendrocalamus strictus), soybean (Glycine max) and flax (Linum usitatissimum) at various blend ratios are prepared for comparison of physical strength and antimicrobial properties. For the general characteristic evaluations it is deduced that the fiber strength of pure flax is comparatively stronger than bamboo and soybean, whereas the antimicrobial properties of the bamboo fibers are the highest. Therefore, the blended fabric with multiple compositions for these three fibers is prepared and compared with the fabric made from individual pure fibers. In sum, the blended fabrics showed enhanced results for both antibacterial activity and strength, where the strength of flax/bamboo blended fabric with equal ratios (50/50) at higher twists and antibacterial activity of soybean/bamboo blended fabric with blend ratio 10/90 was found the best as compared to other combinations.

    Comfort properties of finished Polyester/Cotton Knitted fabric as affected by various yarn and fabric variables
    (UMT.Lahore, 2014) Muhammad Qamar Tusief
    The radical changes have been made in textile industry by the advances in science and technology. Now a days clothing is not only for aesthetic and ethical reasons; but also comfort parameters like elasticity, softness, air permeability, thermal insulation and water vapor permeability are expected from garments. Hence the present research study was planned to investigate the effect of yarn count, P/C blend ratios and various knitted fabric structures on comfort properties of the fabric. It was found that all these variables put significant effect on comfort related properties of fabric.

    Fabric tensile strength as affected by different anti pilling agents at various concentration and PH levels
    (2013) Muhammad Qamar Tusief; Nasir Mahmood; Nabeel Amin
    Pilling is a phenomenon that has a long cause trouble in textile industry. It is the formation of pills or knops on the surface of woven or knitted fabrics caused by friction and abrasion. If fabric has a pronounced tendency to pilling, their appearances suffer severely after a short period of use. The pilling of fabrics is a serious problem for the apparel industry. The use of anti pilling finishes is one of the best techniques to control the pilling of the fabric. In this method fabric is treated with special anti pilling agents to prevent pilling that promote adhesion of the fibres in the yarn or the fabric. This paper endeavors to optimize the application of different anti pilling agents at different concentration and pH levels on the Tensile Strength of P/C fabric for best results. The results exposed that different anti pilling finishes have significant effects on the Tensile Strength of fabric at different concentration level however different pH levels have no considerable effects.

    Tensile properties of cotton yarn as affected by different yarn singeing machine variables
    (Series A: Physical Sciences, 2014) Muhammad Qamar Tusief; Nabeel Amin; Nasir Mahmood; Waqar Iqbal
    The present study endeavours to optimise the yarn quality in respect of its tensile properties by choosing the best combination of the yarn singeing machine variables for excellent manufacture results. This research study revealed that different values of winding speed, gas pressure and air pressure of yarn singeing machine put significant effect upon the tensile properties of cotton yarn after singeing.
