Undergraduate Thesis (planning complete; experiments planned Nov 2026–Mar 2027)
Development of Fatty Acid Eutectic Phase Change Material Coated Cotton Fabrics Using Chitosan Binders for Thermal Comfort and Wash Durability
Nov 2026 – Mar 2027
Supervised by Joy Sarkar, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Textile Engineering, KUET
Planning complete; experimental work planned for November 2026–March 2027. Planned tests: DSC, TGA, FTIR, SEM, water vapour and air permeability, and laundering at 0, 5, 10, 20 and 30 cycles. The study asks whether a chitosan-bound lauric–myristic acid PCM coating can retain thermal response after washing. Thesis details.
Selected Laboratory Projects
Natural Dyeing with Turmeric on Cotton · TE 4105 Sessional · 2026
Dyed cotton with turmeric and lemon juice in a coursework trial; observed yellow coloration. Dye uptake, fastness and antibacterial activity were not measured.
Extraction of Natural Dye from Henna Leaves · TE 4105 Sessional · 2026
Carried out aqueous extraction of crushed henna leaves at 90°C and filtered the resulting dye solution. The extract's chemical composition was not measured.
