Research Interests:
|
General research emphasis has been on characterizing, understanding and modeling structural, physical and mechanical properties of fibers and fibrous assemblies. Major areas, in which his research has been focused during the past several years, are as follows:
-
Frictional characteristics of fibrous materials: structural model, experimental studies in fibers, yarns and fabrics, surgical sutures, hair fibers, impact on fabric handle. Currently editing the book, Friction in Textiles, Woodhead Publishing, Inc, Cambridge.
-
Absorbent structures and absorption phenomena: structural models, test methods, studies involving fibers, fluids and fabric structure as variables, behavior of super-absorbent materials, personal hygiene products, design for optimum performance. Wrote/co-edited the book, Absorbent Technology, Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2002.
-
Biomedical textiles: knot security and strength in sutures, secure knot model, tying devices, studies in regular and ophthalmic sutures, preparation of small diameter compliant arterial grafts using weaving technology and both non-degradable and degradable materials, prosthetic ligaments from braided structures, wound dressings using absorbable healing polymers.
-
Porosity: structural models for pore size and its distribution in nonwovens and woven/knitted fabrics, experimental methods, impact on absorbency and fabric comfort.
-
Surface energetics: dynamic contact angle device, advancing and receding contact angles, polar and non-polar energies, work of adhesion, experimental studies in cellulosic and non-cellulosic fibers and films.

Biography:
|
Born and raised in Delhi, India, he completed his high school from the Punjab University and I.SC. from the Uttar Pradesh University. He pursued Bachelor of Science in Textile Technology from the Technological Institute of Textiles of the Punjab University. He joined the Delhi Cloth Mills as a trainee and then served as a supervisor at the Modi Textile Mills. For graduate education, he proceeded to the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology, Manchester, England, and completed his Ph. D. degree in Textile Physics under the direction of Professor J. W. S. Hearle. He came to the College of Textiles, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA, as a visiting scientist. He was offered a faculty position and is currently serving as a professor in the Department of Textile Engineering, Chemistry, and Science. During the summer of 1985, he received a Fullbright Professorship grant to lecture at the Indian Institute of Technology, New Delhi, and The Maharaja Sayajirao University, Vadodra, India. During 1983 to 1997, he served as the Associate Head of the Textile Materials Science and the Textile Engineering, Chemistry, and Science Departments.
