Dyeing with Disperse Dyes

Before the First World War, almost all dyes were applied from solution in an aqueous dyebath to substrates such as cotton, wool, silk and other natural fibres. However, the introduction of a man-made fibre, cellulose acetate, with its inherent hydrophobic nature, created a situation where very few of the available dyes had affinity for the new fibre. Water-soluble anionic dyes had little substa...

Rheology of Disperse Systems

The rheology of disperse systems is an important processing parameter. Being able to characterize and manipulate the flow behavior of dispersions one can ensure their optimal performance. Waterborne automotive coatings, for example, should exhibit a distinct low-shear viscosity necessary to provide good leveling but to avoid sagging at the same time. Then, a strong degree of shear thinning is n...

Adaptive Systeme

Die Abteilung ADAPTIVE SYSTEME beschäftigt sich zentral mit der datenund wissensbasierten Modellierung technischer und biologischer Systeme und Prozesse. Die resultierenden Modelle erlauben dann einerseits unter Anwendung geeigneter Verfahren die Ableitung neuen Prozesswissens und die Prognose des Prozessverhaltens. Andererseits kommen die identifi zierten Modelle als Kernbestandteil von Steuer...
