Development of Moulded Composite Textile Textures from Plant and Agro-Waste Materials
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The present study was focused on the development of woven and mouulded composite textures using plant and agro-waste materials. Rice and wheat straws and leaves are the most abundantly available plants and agro-waste materials of Punjab and have not been studied yet as it is required. During the study, three types of plant and agro-waste materials were selected for the development of textile textures. Two-textures for each of three types of selected materials (total six textures) were developed through weaving and mouulding. Three plant waste materials, i.e. wheat and paddy straws and date palm leaves, suitable for use in natural form were woven in plain weave, and mouulded composite textures were developed using epoxy resin. The weight (GSM) of PSP4(paddy straw × polyester),WSP5(wheat straw × polyester), and DPP6 (date palm leaves × polyester) was 21.60 gm, 27.05gm and 29.45 gm, respectively. The tThickness of WSP5 was minimum (7.630 mm), while a thickness of DPP6 was highest (10.01 mm). The developed woven and mouulded composite textures from straws and leaves were found suitable for tiles for interior designing, office utilities such as coaster plates, paper weights, trays, pen holders, fancy boxes and file folders.
