The objective of this research is to develop the additional skill toy from dust mite defending fabric. There are categories into three products : 1) Non decorated dust mite defending Fabric 2) Printed cartoon of dust mite defending Fabric 3) Covered colorful cloth of dust mite defending fabric. It can be divided into 3 patterns of this product : 1) the geometric style (triangle square hexagon) the ring toss style and the jigsaw style. The findings of this research were as follow : In term of children between 2-6 year old they like the covered colorful cloth of dust mite defending Fabric and they choose mostly the ring toss style followed by the printed cartoon of dust mite defending Fabric and the ring toss style. In term of parents group have never seen this product and they think that the using material is suitable. Besides they prefer the geometric style in vibrant colors for decorating the printing method and covered colorful cloth of dust mite defending fabric as well as the choosing product should realize the important health. Moreover they prefer very much the decoration of printed cartoon of dust mite defending fabric in the ring toss. In case of product they prefer the geometric about size style and suitability. In term of general interested people group have never seen this product and they think that the using material is suitable. Besides they prefer the jigsaw style in vibrant colors for decorating the printing method. Moreover they prefer the decoration of covered colorful cloth of dust mite defending fabric in the geometric style. In case of product they prefer the geometric about size style and suitability..

The aim of this research is to paint silk fabric with batik technique using five natural dyes from margosa bark lac mango leaves marigold and otaheite gooseberry bark. The pre-mordant and after-mordant techniques were used in this work. Ten mordants Aluminum potassium sulphate Copper (II) sulphate Sodium dichromate Tannic acid Tartaric acid Tin (II) chloride and Calcium acetate-monohydrate were applied. The batik fabrics were characterized in color strength rubbing fastness washing fastness light fastness and stiffness. The result indicated that silk fabric painted with natural dye from margosa bark could use all 10 mordants to improve color strength and gave various shades of color. The silk fabric painted with natural dye from lac could not use all 10 mordants to improve color strength but it gave various shade. The silk fabric painted with natural dye from mango leaves marigold and otaheite gooseberry bark showed that almost 10 mordants gave higher color strength and various shade. The mordanting technique would give good fastness and reduce the stiffness of batik fabric.

This research was concerned about clothes production from remnant fabrics that can increase product value and meet market demand by using patchwork and appliqué technique. The research was conducted into 3 phases : data collecting prototype production and consumer satisfaction evaluation. Questionnaires were used as instrument for data collecting. The first one the researcher inquired; what kind of products that consumer expected to see from remnant fabrics and collected data as market demand in order to produce 9 prototypes by using patchwork and appliqué technique. Finally the prototype was provided to the sample group with the questionnaire in order to evaluate consumer satisfaction toward the prototype. The obtained data from the first questionnaire showed the most of sample was believed that product from remnant fabrics was a low price with poor quality and has no attractive design. The majority of sample interested in apparel product produced from remnant fabrics and sign of the zodiac was selected for decorative pattern. In comparison the result between the first and second questionnaire found that patchwork and appliqué technique could change people attitude toward the product from remnant fabrics. The satisfaction of sample group towards prototype product was ranging in high level. The most of sample group agree to patchwork and appliqué was appropriate technique for transformation and value added to remnant fabric. A price of prototype estimated by consumer was 2001 - 3000 baht per item.

The aim of this research was to improve the durable press finish process on cotton fabric with non-formaldehyde finishing agents. The mercerization of cotton fabric was carried out by 30 Be’ NoOH at 20 C before finishing. The mercerized fabric was finished by padding in the mixture of 4% (w/v) BTCA 0.4% (w/v) chitosam and 6% (w/v) sodium hypophosphite then dried at 85 C for 5 min. The treated fabric was cured at 180 C for 3 min. The finished fabric showed wrinkle recovery angle at 262  tensile strength at 281 N and elongation at break at 34.8 mm. The result showed that the combination of mercerization process and chitosan supported the crosslinking of BTCA on cotton fabric and reduced the loss of tensile strength of finished fabric.

In the current practice cotton fabric is predominantly dyed with direct dyes in the presence of a considerable amount of electrolyte (Salt) to reduce negative charge on fiber surface. Thus the high concentration (40-100 g/l) of electrolyte required in cotton fabric dyeing may pose additional effluent problem and waste water treatment costs. The use of polycationic agent to modify the dyeing behaviour of direct dyes on cotton fabric is investigated. Normally polycationic agent had been treated on dyed fabric to improve fastness properties. The comparison of untreated and pretreated cotton fabric was found that the polycationic agent offers the potential for different dyeing patterning possibilities. The dyes was fixed on the fiber by ionic force. So color strength and exhaustion of pretreated fabric was better than untreated fabric and increased in fastness properties even when dyeing had been carried out in the absence of electrolyte. The purpose of the present work was to determine whether the pretreatment of cotton fabric with polycationic agent could enhance the dyeability of the fiber with direct dyes under appropriate condition such as assuming a positive charge on fiber which permitted “electrolyte-free” dyeing after modification without drain and helped reduce dyeing cost.
