COURSE OUTLINE - SPRING 2021

Course Title: Textile Applied Finishes and Chemistry

Course Code: TEXD-5108

Credit Hours: 03

Lecturer: Nadeem Afraz

INTRODUCTION TO COURSE

The aim of this course is to let students know about the manufacturing process of different important natural/ manmade fibers and reaction of chemicals towards different sources of fiber.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

This course will also help to understand the application of textile finishes applied to different fibers and fabrics for specific uses. This contributes towards understanding of different fibers &dyes/ pigments chemistry and how they respond to each other.
