Beschreibung
Cotton fibres contain naturally occurring non-cellulosic materials such as sugars, wax, metals and other organic species that may influence fibre characteristics, i.e. physical and chemical properties, yarn processing efficiency as well as product quality. Chemical and physical tests were conducted on raw cottons from different growing areas of Pakistan to determine the effect of different depositions of these materials on fibre properties, spinning performance and yarn properties. The present research study was planned to explore the locations effect upon the non-cellulosic content of raw cotton and its ultimate effect on end product. In this concern four different growing areas (Multan, Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan and Faisalabad), four cotton varieties CIM-473, CIM496, NIAB-111 and NIAB-999 with four micronaire values (4.4,4.6, 4.8 and5.0) were analyzed for wax, alcohol extractable, residual sugars, fibre ash contents and light metal content. Determined values were correlated to spinning consistency. Highly significant results were observed in respect of different locations, varieties and micronaire values.

I am woriking as lecturer in the department of Fibre & Textile Technology since last 15 years. My main focous of research is textile fibres. I have produced more than 45 post graduate students as a major supervisor and about 60 students have been completed their M.Sc. degrees under my co-supervision and moreover,I have published 50 research papers.
