Full Unit-wise Syllabus

Unit I – Natural Fibres

Introduction: Definition of staple fibre, filament; Classification of natural and man-made fibres, essential and desirable properties of fibres. Production and cultivation of Natural Fibers: Cultivation of cotton, production of silk (sericulture), wool and jute – physical and chemical structure of these fibres- End uses.

Activity: Demonstration to identify the natural and manmade fibers.

Unit II – Regenerated and Synthetic Fibres

Production sequence of regenerated and modified cellulosic fibres: viscose rayon, Acetate Rayon, high wet modulus and high tenacity fibres; synthetic fibres – chemical structure, fibre forming polymers, production principles.

Activity: Virtual demonstration of synthetic fiber manufacturing.

Unit III – Basics of Spinning

Spinning – principle of yarn formation, sequence of machines for yarn production with short staple fibres and blends, principles of opening and cleaning machines; Introduction to direct and indirect systems of yarn numbering – calculations in English and Tex systems.

Activity: Seminar on direct and indirect systems of yarn numbering.

Unit IV – Basics of Weaving

Woven fabric – warp, weft, weaving, path of warp; looms – classification, handloom and its parts; Introduction to basic weaving mechanisms - primary, secondary and auxiliary mechanisms; Introduction to power loom, automatic looms, shuttle less looms, special type of looms.

Activity: Virtual demonstration of power loom, automatic looms, shuttle less looms, special type of looms.

Unit V – Basics of Knitting, Nonwoven and Braiding

Knitting – classification, principle, types of fabrics; Nonwoven process –classification, principle, types of fabrics; Introduction to braiding.

Activity: Identify the types of fabrics using simple methods/instruments.
