Mashiur Rahman working with various kinds of textile fibers. He has done lot of research work on fiber and published many publications related with fiber and fiber properties. My project is based on fiber area and my advisor also research on this area so it is very much match with his work area.
Also, he works om medical textiles, geotextiles, nanotechnology …show more content…

Description: Hemp fiber contain non-cellulosic materials in the fiber structure and it can’t be spun through the cotton spinning system. Author has investigated to identify the spinning properties of hemp fibers including strength, length and length variation, single fiber entity, fineness, bending modulus, and softness by removing non-cellulosic materials through different chemical and enzyme treatments. The softness of treated samples, with the highest weight loss (%), was found to be improved by about 2.6 times more than the virgin hemp fiber.
