My first Research publication

Its time to enjoy!

Yes finally i made my first research publication in one international journal. ( i think its my second, yes earlier one was conference publication). When i started that work i felt iam going to sink! but with the constant support and motivation form my Master Dr. A Mukhopadhya,  some how i managed to brought me up. He says writing a review article is not so easy! but intially i felt easy but later when i started to do in depth analysis about the material, i really enjoyed (of course with little struggle!!). Its about four months of hard review work and six months of constant updation and three months of copyrights and publication efforts. Oh such a huge time gap.

I beleive time is a factor which influences us in many ways. The feeling of delayed publication is like a period of maternity!

Yes i enjoyed that feeling! As my master Dr. A Mukhopadhyaya says, “make your work in international publication” with his constant and hard support i / sorry we made it in the international pubvlication. Yet this is another feather in my professor Dr Mukhopadhyay’s crown and a stepping stone for me!

CHeck my publication:

Hindu & Musalmaan:ஹிந்துவும் முஸல்மானும்

From the book of “Kashmir: The Scarred and the Beautiful”,By William Dalrymple:

In the words of Deen Darvish, a nineteenth-century Kashmiri Sufi of the same tradition as Dara Shikoh:

The Hindu says, “I am superior”;
The Musalman says I.
Two halves of a grain of mung they are;
Which, then, is greater than the other?
Don’t quarrel over who is superior;
And who is not;
The one is a devotee of Ram, the other of Rahman.
the two unite in one ocean;
There is only one Lord of all.
The Hindu and the Musalman are one.

FUTURE IS OURS!!!

RIGHT TIME TO DECIDE!!!

The rupee appreciation hit the Ready Made Garment business heavily. However Indian textile manufacturers are having high potential to tackle. According to my perception Indian textile professionals must concentrate on the opportunities available in the functional garments. The growing Indian economy surely makes our existing buyers to shift their business to our neighboring countries. This situation surely affects the Indian industries which are not ready to diversify their production / products. There is and will a good scope for the functional products production. Apart from the fashion apparel garments, there is a wide scope for the technical textiles / garments, like thermal garments, sports garments, and special- application oriented garments etc. If one can catch such business in the years, surely will yield a good profit. The production of such special garment / products is easy for us because of our existing highly build technology and skills; which our counterparts/ Neighbors may not.

Further to this blog I will write in day or two!!!

Prohibited - Dyes List for GOTS & OE Standards

Dyes and regulation

In the last month i started to collect the dyes list which are all fullfilling the GOTS and OE standards. After reading many documents and interaction, i obtained a collection of information. So here i am sharing with you. (Many of this given information you can find in the oeko - text blog too)For my query Patty and Leigh Anne Answered:

“There are many, many prohibited dyes. GOTS prohibits the use of all amine releasing azo dyes, for instance. This prohibited category includes the following chemical compounds with their CAR RN (chemical label) :  Azo dyes (Restricted amines – from Azo dyes) 

• 4- Aminodiphenyl (92-67-1)
• Benzidine (92-87-5) 
• 4-Chloro-o-Toluidine (95-69-2) 
• 2- Napthylamine (91-59-  
• o-Aminoazotoluene (97-56-3) 
• 2-Amino-4-nitrotoluene (99-55-8) 
• 2,4 Diaminoanisole (615-05-4)4,4 
•  Diaminodiphenylmethane (101-77-9) 
• 3,3-Dichlorobenzidine (91-94-1) 
• 3,3- Dimethoxybenzidine (o-Dianisidine) (119-90-4) 
• 3,3- Dimethylbenzidine (o-Tolidine) (119-93-7) 
• 3,3- Dimethyl-4,4’-diaminodiphenylmethane (838-88-0) 
• p-Chloroaniline (106-47-  
• p-Cresidine (120-71-8) 
• 4,4-Methylen-bis-(2- chloroaniline) (101-14-4) 
• 4,4- Oxydianiline (101-80-4) 
• 4,4- Thiodianiline (139-65-1) 
• 2,4- Toluenediamine (95-80-7) 
• o-Toluidine (95-53-4) 
• 2,4,5-Trimethylaniline (137-17-7) 
• o-Anisidine (90-04-0)
•  p-Amino-azobenzene (60-09-3) 

 There are many other categories of prohibited residues from dyes or from chemicals used in any of the other other production stages. Prohibited residues above a certain threshold using a specified test  include formaldehyde and other aldehydes,  heavy metals,  PVC, organotin compounds, AOX, disperse dyes, and a whole list of other chemicals. This is important because, as you probably know, many of these chemicals, especially the heavy metals, are a component of -  or a mordant or fixative for - dyestuffs.

 In addition, there are requirements that dyestuffs must meet regarding oral toxicity, aquatic toxicity, biodegradability, eliminability and bi-accumulation in fatty tissues.  The GOTS details are on their website:  www.global-standard.org.  Some dyestuff producers advertise that they have a dye group that meets these standards, such as Huntsman and Clariant. As you know, vegetable and natural dyes are often some of the most heinous violators of some of these rules. Natural and vegetable dyes when used with usual mordants, fixatives, etc., are definitely NOT an eco choice.  As you also may know, this list of prohibited chemicals and limited chemical residues will most likely become longer in the coming years with the very important EU REACH legislation. We all suffer from the fact that most chemicals - in fact the vast majority - in industrial use currently have not been tested for aquatic toxicity, oral toxicity - haven’t been tested at all in most cases”.  

Further to this i have uploaded the document which may usefull to use as a guide to proceed with the dyes stuff selection.gots_approved-dyes-list-dec07;  Updated list of approved dyes list.
