Abstract: The use of nanotechnology for biomedical applications, has potential to change the landscape of the diagnosis and therapy of many diseases. Several therapeutic nanocarriers have been approved for clinical use. In this research paper polymeric biodegradable nanocomposites have been synthesized as a drug carrier for anticancer drug. Chitosan (CS) and sodium alginate (ALG) with different ratios were blended with different wt% of hydroxyl apatite by solvent evaporation method. Morphology and structure characterization of nanocomposites were investigated by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Fourier Transmission Infra Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) respectively. Thermal property of nanocomposite was investigated by Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA).........

| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Hema Upadhayay || Shahnaz Jahan || Monika Upreti |
Abstract: Technical changes are totally changing the fashion market in coming years. In the coming years, approximately 80% textiles will be technical or functionalised. Today, cosmetic textiles also consider the part of technical textiles as it introduces innovative textile materials. Cosmetotextiles is "A textile article that contains a substance or a preparation that is intended to be released sustainability on to the different superficial parts of the human body, especially the skin, and which claim particular properties such as cleansing, perfume, change of appearance, protection, maintenance in good condition, or correction of body odours''. Cosmetotextiles are classified on the basis of end use, ingredients used and fabric used...........

| Title | : | Technology for Denim Finishing Using Laccase Enzymes: A Review |
| Country | : | Colombia |
| Authors | : | Elsa Mora Muñoz. || Julio Pineda Insuasti || StefanÃa Duarte Trujillo || César Augusto Del RÃo || Claudia Soto Arroyave || Marcelo Puente Carrera || Alejandro Pineda Soto || José Huaca Pinchao |
Abstract: Enzymatic technologies applied to the textile industry are viable in environmental parameters. Laccases and peroxidases are of special interest because they are able to initiate oxidation of indigo in the finishing process of jeans. Only two authors have applied these enzymes to denim fading, although there arestudies that prove the bioactivity of the microorganisms and their metabolites on the indigo dye. Therefore, inefficient scaling limits the implementing of laccases to the production process of jeans
Keywords: Denim, finishing, laccase enzymes

| Title | : | Importance of Body Shape Categorization in Developing Size Charts for Female Pants |
| Country | : | Colombo |
| Authors | : | C.P.Vithanage || T.S.S.Jayawardane || S.N. Niles || C.D.Thilakaratne |
Abstract: Each country needs its own size chart to suit its population, because researchers have found that human body shapes, proportions and measurements change significantly with geographical and demographical differences. However, the ready-to-wear apparel industry still faces the problem of poor fit of apparels. Therefore, this research aims at developing size charts for female pants by primarily categorizing the diverse lower body shapes of Sri Lankan females and clustering their anthropometric dataset using global kernel k-means clustering approach. A sample of 1068 Sri Lankan females of ages 20-40 years were measured and thirteen lower body measurements were collected.

| Title | : | Development and Property Evaluation of Poly (Lactic) Acid and Cellulose Nanocrystals Based Films with Either Silver or Peptide Antimicrobial Agents: Morphological, Permeability, Thermal, and Mechanical Characterization |
| Country | : | Canada |
| Authors | : | Michael George || Wei-Zheng Shen || Carlo Montemagno |
Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to report the impact of the addition of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) on the thermal, mechanical, and permeability properties of poly (lactic acid). The thin films were prepared using a modified solvent casting method. The films were fortified with either of two antimicrobial agents: silver (Ag) nanopowder or a peptide. The microstructure, morphology, oxygen and water vapour permeability, mechanical, and thermal behaviour were investigated.It was found that thepresence of the antimicrobial agents does not adversely affect the thermal properties investigated............

Abstract: The degradation of cellulose and its alkyl ethers (methyl and ethyl) in nitrogen and oxygen atmosphere investigated by nonisothermal thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry was compared with hydroxyethyl cellulose and nitrocellulose. Chemiluminescence method has been used in oxygen atmosphere to show on the "preparatory process" of the cellulose derivatives decomposition before the main stream of volatile products is released. From the compensation graph it was found that in nitrogen hydroxyethyl cellulose and nitrocellulose start degradation from the side groups while others by main chain scission..........
