B E II Textile Technology: Semester – III

Subject Name: Fibre Physics Subject Code: BTTT11301

Type of course: BSC/ESC/HSM/PCC/PEC/OEC/MD

Prerequisite (if any): Basic knowledge of physics, chemistry and textile fibres

List of Courses where this course will be prerequisite:

Rationale: (should also include Description of the relevance of this course in the Program):
Fibre is the only raw material used for all activities of textile. The fibres are
varied in nature and properties due to the way they are either available or
produced. It is very important to study physical properties of fibres so that
their behavior in later on processes and properties of end product can be
understood in better way.
