- Development of High Strength Cost Effective Seamless Technical Circular Fabric from Heavy Denier Multifilament Yarns for Geotechnical Applications
This project aims to develop high-strength seamless tubular fabric to enhance the load-bearing capacity of weak soils and to establish a cost-effective, indigenous technology for producing these fabrics. It involves a comprehensive study of various stone column techniques, examining different soil conditions, load-bearing capacities, and current methods. The primary focus is on subsurface soils with low un-drained shear strength or loose sandy compositions, such as silty or clayey sands, which could benefit from stone column improvements.
- Development of Energy Responsive Agrotextile for Low-Cost Opportunities to Grow Off-Season Vegetable/Fruits.
Shade-net is used to protect plants from excessive solar irradiance and create plant suitable microclimatic conditions. Shade-net is one of the most popular Agrotextile. It is deriving popularity mainly from consumer demand for growing crops at significantly lower costs compared with growing crops in a greenhouse. Under the project it has been envisaged to develop an energy responsive shade-net which can modulate the incoming solar energy, thus able to exert better control over the microclimatic conditions inside the shade-net house for better productivity and quality.
3- Development of Special 3D Engineered Fabric Impregnated with Graphene and Specialty Chemicals
The aim of this project is to develop new generation advanced armors with high performance and impact resistant structurally engineered composite fabric. The novel hybrid engineered design in this research involves a 3D printed graphene in designs like honeycomb or chain mail microstructures as a core in composite layers of fabric impregnated with shear thickening fluid. We believe that combining 3D printed graphene structured sandwiched with composite fabric materials can introduce a new structure which will simultaneously benefit the properties of these two components. The envisaged work targets developing a graphene based new armor design, investigating optimum failure criteria, and exploring the effect of changing the materials on the ballistic impact, and absorbed energy.

4 Compilation and interpretation of the issues involved in commercialization of indigenous technologies in the Indian textile processing sector
Various researchers are working for betterment of this industry via their inventions but some of them become successful in commercialization while many remained as pilot studies only. It is seen that many of the textile industries still believes and follows traditional process methods and, the attempts to innovate in the textile chain are timid, weakening the enthusiasm of the researchers. This gives space to imported products. It is thus essential to understand the difficulties faced by the industries to implement such indigenous products/processes; and analyze the issues that hinder the commercialization of such indigenous technologies. It is thus imperative to study and statistically analyze the issues that refrain the commercialization of indigenous technologies.

Funded by Industry
6- VSV Ventures
SASMIRA is Developing a light weight, comfortable, washable hygiene product for M/s. VSV Ventures. The core aim of the development is to develop a sustainable and environmentally friendly hygiene product.
7- Amaterasu Lifesciences LLP
M/s. Amaterasu are the manufacturer of Soreze Diaper Rash Gel and Soreze Gel Advance to protect skin from rashes caused by diaper linings. The unique formulation of product makes it water impermeable due to which it becomes difficult to evaluate its performance test. SASMIRA is working on development and optimization of test protocol for evaluation of its functional properties
