Lately, the utilization of natural colorants in textile dyeing and printing has come to forepart manufacturing goods due increased environmental troubles. In this study, wool yarns were dyed with ternary dye combinations (Scutellaria Orientalis L, Rubia Tinctorium and, Punica Granatum L ). The color coordinates washing light fastness investigated. Washing are fair good. Dyed worked calorimetric...

The effects of high temperatures on catalytic activity and binding abilities of crude Trichoderma reesei cellulases in solution and adsorbed to a cotton fabric were studied. Above optimum temperature of 508C, catalytic activities were severely diminished but the binding behaviour was not found to be adversely affected. In order to verify possible applications of cellulases adsorbed to cotton fa...

Acid dyes are often used to improve the decorative properties of bamboo products. However, the use of these dyes is problematic because they run easily. This study examined the use of chitosan as a fixing agent to address this issue. The study also investigated the interaction between dyed bamboo powder and dyed veneers pre-treated with chitosan. Powder was dyed at various pH values with acid s...

Polymer nanocomposites are new classes of composite materials derived from nanoparticles with at least one dimension in the nanometric range. Polypropylene nanocomposites have attracted a considerable interest due to its most widely used and fastest growing classes of thermoplastic polymer with low cost and low density. However, a problem associated with polypropylene is its dyeability. There h...

Colored waterborne polyurethanes have been widely used in paintings, leathers, textiles, and coatings. Here, a series of black waterborne polyurethanes (WPUs) with different ratios of black dye, Sudan Black B (SDB), were prepared by step-growth polymerization. WPU emulsions as obtained exhibit low particle sizes and remarkable storage stability at the same time. At different dye loadings, essen...

Conventional leather dyeing consumes high amounts of dyes and increases pollution tannery wastewater. We have focused on the reduction dyestuff avoidance water additional chemicals for colorization leather. Waterless with supercritical CO2 as solvent dye 1-(methylamino)anthraquinone was performed in a technical scale autoclave. The intensity uniformity dyed leathers assessed using spectroscopic...

The effect of cationic modification of cotton fabrics, using cationic agent (Chromatech 9414) on direct dyeing characteristics was studied in this work. Cationization of cotton fabric at different conditions (pH, cationic agent concentration, temperature and time) was investigated and the optimum conditions were determined . Nitrogen content of cotton samples pretreated with cationic agent was ...

Resonance Raman spectroscopy offers several advantages in the studies of ink jet prints stemming from its inherent selectivity and sensitivity. These include the possibility to obtain direct information on the chemical interactions between the paper and ink that play a major role in long-term print fastness. However, resonance Raman techniques can suffer from obtrusive fluorescence from coloran...

A number of polycarboxylic acids butane tetracarboxylic acid BTCA, polyacrylic-co-maleic acid PAMA, citric acid, maleic-itaconic MA-IA were examined, in combination with sodium hypophosphite SHP in order to give a similar high fabric crease recovery performance and whiteness index to traditional formaldehyde based crease agents. BTCA showed to be the best crease resist agent for crosslinking co...

Today, natural colorants are emerging globally due to the fact that they are safer and more environmentally-friendly. Natural dyes have been employed in dyeing Persian carpet piles for many years. In this study, the dried Achillea was used for dyeing wool yarns. The Iranian wool yarn was scoured, mordanted using Cu, Sn, Al salts and then dyed with different amounts of dried Achillea powder. Tag...
