Biogenic silver nano sol–loaded spunlace fabric for wound dressing; mechanical and functional characterization Hireni Mankodi, Bharat Patel Journal of Industrial Textiles, 2022 The biogenic silver nano sol (AgNS) is most suitable for biomedical applications due to its inherent properties. In the present investigation polyester (P), viscose (V) and polyester/viscose blend (50:50) (PV) spunlaced fabrics were coated with AgNS prepared using organic honey, manuka honey. The dip-coated fabric samples were found suitable for wound dressing purposes when evaluated layered wise for their mechanical properties. The layer-wise dispersion behavior of the V sample was found better than the P/V and P samples. In the case of the air permeability sample, P/V performed better compared to V and P samples. Water sorption ability of P/V and V are found suitable for wound dressing. The ultraviolet protection factor value of treated fabric found excellent when coated with only honey. Further, the AgNS loaded fabric exhibited good resistance against microbial organisms as revealed by the bromophenol blue stain.

Geocomposite manufactured from PP nonwoven/HDPE geonet Hireni Mankodi Advanced Materials Research, 2013 Geogrids are used as reinforcement materials for soil foundation structure in the geotechnical applications. Also, geogrids have the excellent tensile strength and modulus and therefore, geogrids can show the good reinforcement function within the soil foundation structure that the loads are concentrated. However, geogrids don't have the excellent efficiency to control the migration and loss of fine soil particles to be passed due to the large apertures (opening size).The new concept of reinforced geotextile composites, which can show both functions of reinforcement and separation/drainage and was manufactured by combining nonwoven geotextiiles and geogrid or geonetusing adhesive or thermal bonding process. Geotextile-Geonet Composites compose of geotextile-geonet-geotextilesandwich use for separation and filtration functions. Hence the objective of this study is to manufacture geocomposite for easy installation and better stability of sandwich material in soil condition. This geocomposites are evaluated for its performance.
Applications of electrically conductive yarns in technical textiles P. C. Patel, D. A. Vasavada, H. R. Mankodi 2012 IEEE International Conference on Power System Technology Powercon 2012, 2012 “Technical textiles” is a buzz word now a day, it has wide range of applications, and in some cases it has completely replaced the conventional material. In recent years, researchers and industrial companies worldwide have been showing increasing interest in conductive textile products and textile-based composite materials. E-textiles are the prominent applications which incorporate the conductive yarn. Steel conductive yarn has been prepared with necessary characteristics using conventional spinning machines. Conductive fabrics with various patterns and weave structures have been produced on handloom, power loom, and braiding machine. The e-fabrics have been used to develop the varieties of new products. The fabrics have been evaluated for various mechanical and electrical characteristics to confirm its application in wide range of products ranging from novel apparels, handicrafts to e-geosynthetics. It showed good electrical conductivity along with reasonable stability especially at low voltage. Decorative articles, Flexible electronic name plate etc. have been prepared and displayed. Value addition to number of traditional textiles can be of great importance. The study shows that the conventional textile technology can be useful to produce the value added products leading to socio-economic development. The proposed application of the conductive fabric in geotechnical engineering field can enhance the efficiency of the dewatering treatment. This application could be very useful for sports activites, physical training espicially in monsoon.
