Dyeing of polyester fabrics with thienobenzochromene disperse dyes under conventional and microwave heating conditions was studied in order to determine whether microwave heating could be used to enhance the dyeability of polyester fabrics. Fastness properties of the dyed samples were measured. All samples dyed with or without microwave heating displayed excellent washing and perspiration fastn...

Novel red and purple reactive disperse silicon-containing dyes were designed and synthesized using p-nitroaniline and 6-bromo-2,4-dinitro-aniline as diazonium components, the first condensation product of cyanuric chloride and 3-(N,N-diethyl)amino-aniline as coupling component, and 3-aminopropylmethoxydimethylsilane, 3-aminopropylmethyldimethoxysilane, and 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane as silic...

A series of 4-hydroxyphenylazopyrazolopyrimidine disperse dyes were prepared via one-pot reactions of p-hydroxyphenylhydrazone, hydrazine hydrate, and acetylacetone or enaminones using microwave irradiation as an energy source. Structural assignments of the dyes were confirmed by X-ray crystallographic structure determination. Instead of discharging the dyebath after each dyeing cycle, the resi...

In this study, a functional colorant, Berberine, extracted from Berberis vulgaris wood was applied onto wool fiber using the extract of roots of Rumex Hymenosepolus as biomordant. The effect of treatment variables on the color strength of dyed fibers was examined. The fastness properties of dyed wool against washing, light, dry and wet rubbing were evaluated. Dyed samples were tested for an...

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...

This paper was selected as the 2005 IS&T Itek Award for outstanding original student publication in the field of imaging science and engineering (full version published in JIST 48 #2). In order to produce color ink jet prints with good fastness properties, the use of special, coated papers is generally essential. This study examined the water fastness of ink jet prints using experimental coated...

A series of novel monoazo-disperse dyes containing pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine structures were synthesized starting with the coupling reaction between ethyl cyanoacetate and 4-hydroxybenzenediazonium chloride, followed by treatment of the resulting hydrazone product with hydrazine hydrate. The pyrazolohydrazone 6 is then treated with either 2,4-pentandione and enaminonitrile or aryl-substituted e...

Based on the accretion induced magnetic field decay model, in which frozen field and incompressible fluid are assumed, we obtain the following results. (1) The analytic relation between the magnetic field and spin period is obtained if the fastness parameter of accretion disk is neglected. Our model evolutionary tracks of accreting neutron stars in P-B diagram are different from the equilibrium...

Acid-fastness is usually defined by the Ziehl-Neelsen technique: staining in carbol-fuchsin, differentiation in HCl-alcohol, and counterstaining in methylene blue.8 As a result, acid-fast substances are red, non-acid-fast materials, blue. Some authors have felt that this property of differential staining resided in one specific type of compound, the mycolic acid type of long-chain fatty acid fo...
