Abstract:
rrhe national economy of Pakistan has suffered a
serious set back in thG last few years. Decline in the
exports of cotton textiles coupled with less overall
yield of cotton is considered to :)e an important factor.
The Government of Pakistan due to its deep insight of the
problems has iniated to conserve cotton alongwith man-made
fibres and to improve the quality of the finished products.
Pakistan Scie."1.ce Foundation has taken keen interest
in the p rocl.em and has undertaken a _resaarch project entitled "Dyeing Pro·bla,1s in Blended li'a0rics - Study on Pakistan Textile Industry", at the National ·College of Textile
®gineering, Faisalabad. The work undertaken pertains to
the study of processing behaviour of cellulosic/man-made
fibre blends. The study is also supplemented by surveys
of existing raw-material, machinery & equipm?,t and
quality control f°tcilities ava Ll.e.ol.e in Pakistan Textile
Industry. Pakistan Science Iloundation has been gracious
enough to bear the cost of the project amounting to
Rs. 3,04,302/- during three years, i.e.,.1977-80.
We feel highly indebted to the Chainaan,Pakistan
Science Foundation, whose moral and material support
has enabled us to implement this i=,roject.
