Influence of Fibre Properties on the Absorption Behavior of Aqueous Solutions in Web Structures

ILIYA E. B^*, Abdulraheem Giwa, Sunmonu O K

Ten cotton varieties indigenous to the region were evaluated for their physical characteristics under standardized conditions using established protocols. Parallel-laid, cross-laid, and random-laid fibre webs with defined weight and dimensions (specific mass) were prepared from raw (unscoured), scoured, and scoured-mercerized samples of each variet...

Photo-Degradation of Direct Yellow 96 In UV/TiO2 and UV/H2O2 using Factorial Design

Okeme A. C.^*, Kogo A. A., Nurudeen Yusuf., Abdulraheem Giwa

In this research, factorial design have been employed to study the influence of four important factors; pH, catalyst dosage, irradiation time and dye concentration in the treatment of C.I. Direct Yellow 96 dyestuff using UV/TiO2 and UV/H2O2 photo-degradation processes. The results indicate that the adsorbent dosage and irradiation time exhibit a...

Effects of garment laundry activities on the slider lock and crosswise strengths of nylon coil zippers

Umaru S.^*, Kaisan M. U., Usman S., Abdulraheem Giwa

Zippers are textile fastening devices which are flexible and operate by moving a slider along two rows of inter-lockable elements. In Nigeria, the polyester and nylon coil type of zippers are the most commonly used and patronized by makers of female garments and dresses. Previous study on the strength of zippers in a region similar to Nigeria sh...

Synthesis and characterisation of Azo dyes derived from Naphthalen-2-ol and their washfastness properties on cotton, wool and nylon fabrics

Abdulraheem Giwa^*, Mela A. C., Umar S. M.

A series of azo dyes was synthesised by coupling reaction of napththalen-2-ol with diazotized 4- sodiumphenolate, 4-Nitrophenylazo and 4-Chlorophenylazo respectively, as diazo components. The characterization of the dyes was carried out by GC/MS analysis. The solubility of dyes in the visible absorption spectra was also determined. The dyeing per...

Characterisation of vanillin and its application as carrier on commercial azo disperse dyes on woven polyester fabric

JOSEPH ODEY^*, SALIU H. R, Abdulraheem Giwa

An extracted vanillin from Foster Clark vanilla flavour for the chemical substitution of toxic carriers used in aqueous dyeing of polyester fabrics was assessed. The extracted vanillin was used to compare the dyeing of a woven polyester fabric with two commercial dyes C.I Disperse Yellow 56, and C.I. Disperse Yellow 50. The vanillin carrier is u...
