In this work, raw fibers of a local species of stabraq (milkweed) were scoured, bleached and blended with cotton fibers with a ratio of 75/25 (cotton/stabraq). The improved stabraq fibers, scoured and bleached cotton and the blended fibers were spun into fine yarns and then they were subjected to dyeing with two types of reactive dyes namely, cold brand and high exhaustion brand reactive dye at...

The main objective of this work was to increase the retarding effect of the acid dye Telon(®) Blue RR (C.I. Acid Blue 62; DyStar, Frankfurt, Germany) release on polyamide fibres dyeing by encapsulation of the dye in liposomes as an alternative to synthetic auxiliaries, in order to reduce effluent pollution. The retarding effect achieved with the use of mixed cationic liposomes of dioctadecyldim...

Dyeing properties of compounded polyethylene terephthalate fibers with a polyesteramide hyperbranched polymer were investigated in terms of their thermodynamic parameters, including standard affinity -Δμ⁰, enthalpy change ΔH⁰ and entropy change ΔS⁰. Results were then compared with corresponding properties of the virgin PET. The results showed that the isotherms were similar to that of virgin PE...

In this paper, two novel alkali clearable disperse dyes were synthesized. 4-flourosulfonyl aniline and 2-nitro-4-flourosulfonyl aniline were utilized as the diazo components and 2- naphthol as the coupling component. The DSC, FTIR, 1HNMR and UV-Vis analyses were used to characterize the synthesized intermediates and dyes. The synthesized dyes were used to dye polyester fibers and their dyeing p...

Hair dyes are more and more used and the role of the exposure to these products in the development of skin reactions in the exposed region is suspected. The aim of this study is to assess the effects of hair dyes on facial skin and scalp sensitivity by performing a Computer Assisted Web Interview on 1257 women older than 15 years old. Differences were observed in the scores evaluating facial sk...

Laccase efficiently catalyses polymerization of phenolic compounds. However, knowledge on applications of polymers synthesized in this manner remains scarce. Here, the potential of laccase-catalysed polymerization of natural phenols to form products useful in hair dyeing was investigated. All 15 tested phenols yielded coloured products after laccase treatment and colour diversity was attained b...

The visual appearance of seamless dyed edges of luxury leather goods represents a key issue in terms of quality grading since a high-quality leather has to be characterized by homogeneously coloured and shaped edges with uniform ink thickness. Despite a huge literature produced by scientific and technical community to automate many leather manufacturing processes, since leather patches are ofte...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the following study was to assess the knowledge, practice, perception and adverse reactions among hair dye users. SETTINGS AND DESIGN A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients, their attenders and staff of SDUMC. MATERIALS AND METHODS A questionnaire (28) pertaining to use of hair dyes and reactions to them was administered randomly. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS...
