Since 2015, dye mix (TDM) consisting eight disperse incorporated into European baseline series. However, it unknown if TDM identifies all patients allergy. The ...

Work summarized in this final report covering three years of research includes: 1) A method for real-time monitoring of disperse dye exhaustion on polyester and acetate; 2) A method for realtime monitoring of both reactive dye exhaustion and hydrolysis; 3) A comparison of a newly developed method for real-time monitoring of indigo with the conventional titrametric method; 4) Models of direct dy...

Currently, only 1% of waste textiles, mainly whites, are recycled because dyes on fibers caused various problems. Unseparated colors might sublime during the fiber regeneration process and pollute working environment. More seriously, final color quality regenerated is uncontrollable. Technologies for complete removal from textiles either by dye-destruction or extraction have major challenges im...
