Dyeability of the Fabrics dyed with Herb Extracts

Dyeability and Antimicrobial Properties of Cotton Fabrics Finished with Punica Granatum Extracts

The dry rind of the pomegranate (Punica granatum) has been used as dye stuff since earlier times. In the present study the dye extracts were obtained from the rinds of the P. granatum and used for dyeing the cotton fabrics. The fabrics were assessed for antimicrobial, dyeability and fastness properties. The color strength (K/S) of dyed fabric was assessed through dyeability test. The antibacter...

Effect of Plasma on Dyeability of Fabrics

The unique physical and chemical characteristics of the plasma environment make it attractive for textile processing. Plasma is an ionized gas, i.e. it contains electrons, ions and neutral atoms and/or molecules. However, not all of the ionized gases used in textile processing will exhibit the properties associated with plasmas, mainly because of their low charge state densities compared to the...

Surface Modification Methods for Improving the Dyeability of Textile Fabrics

First-Order Parametric Model of Reflectance Spectra for Dyed Fabrics

An evaluation of UV protection imparted by cotton fabrics dyed with natural colorants

BACKGROUND The ultraviolet properties of textiles dyed with synthetic dyes have been widely reported in literature. However, no study has investigated the ultraviolet properties of natural fabrics dyed with natural colorants. This study reports the Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of cotton fabrics dyed with colorants of plant and insect origins. METHODS Three cotton fabrics were dyed with...
