TX4074 Protective Clothing Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVES:
To enable the students to learn about
Functional requirements of protective clothing
Selection of fibre, yarn and fabric for developing protective clothing
Evaluation of protective clothing
UNIT I FIBRE REQUIREMENTS
Suitability and properties of high performance fibres for various protective clothing – chemical composition and physical structure
UNIT II YARN AND FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
Types of yarns, woven, knitted and nonwoven fabric structures used for protective garments, methods of production, effect of structure on their performance
UNIT III CLOTHING CONSTRUCTION
Method of construction of garments according to various protective end uses like protection against cold, ballistic protection; use of different fabric type (knitted, woven, and nonwoven), coated, laminated in different places; use of inter lining and composites; 3D structures; high tech textiles–wearable electronics; protective garments for industrial and apparel end uses
UNIT IV FINISHING OF PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
Types of finishes – fire retardant finishes, water repellent finishes, anti – microbial finishes; chemical finishes against radiation and chemicals; method of application of finishes; protective finishes for health care garments
UNIT V QUALITY EVALUATION
Evaluation of protective fabrics – desirable properties of protective textiles, method of testing for thermal protective performance, abrasion and wear resistance, evaluation of resistance to mildew, ageing, sunlight, chemical, electrostatic and electrical resistivity, impact properties; ASTM standards for protective garments
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
