Reactive dyeing is the most widely used method for cellulosic fabrics in textile industry. In this study, it was aimed to reduce environmental impact caused by use of high salt during with reactive dyestuffs. context, a quaternary ammonium based chemical cationization cotton fabrics. The usage amount cationizing agent and flake caustic determined experiments as 50 g/L 17 g/L, respectively. Conv...

In this work, colloidal silver has been added into an acrylic clear cataphoretic bath, evaluating the effect of two different filler amounts on durability composite coatings. The three series samples were characterized by electron microscopy to assess possible change in morphology introduced silver-based additive. protective properties coatings evaluated a salt spray chamber exposure and electr...

Two liquid phases: molton metal (or alloy) and slag occur in most metallurgical systems. The slag occurring at the surface of the metal bath not only protects it against negative atmospheric effects but also enables to make many treatments necessary to achieve good quality of the material designed for shaping the casted products. In the conditions of fully controlled process (e.g. melting or re...
