This study presents the synthesis and characterization of hydroxyethyl cellulose‐graft‐polyacrylamide (HEC‐g‐PAM) copolymers as a novel thickener for textile printing applications. The chemical structure of the copolymers was confirmed through FT‐IR and ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy, which provided clear evidence of successful PAM grafting onto the HEC backb...

This study investigated the dyeability of poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-polyethylene glycol) (PCP) fibers engineered for convenient disperse dyeing, using both low and high energy disperse dyes within a temperature range of 90–130 °C. A thermodynamic analysis revealed that the disperse dyeing of PCP fibers followed the Nernst isotherm. It displaye...

Sustainable bleaching of Juton (a Jute-Cotton blend) fabric with peracetic acid (PAA) and bleach activators was investigated. The whiteness effect of PAA can be enhanced by adding bleach activators such as tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED) and sodium nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate (NOBS). This study evaluated six distinct bleaching methods on Juton fa...

The purpose of this study was to introduce sustainable bleaching of jute-cotton blend (Juton) fabric with Peracetic acid instead of conventional peroxide bleaching agents for the deep dyeing process. Juton was bleached with peracetic acid by varying the process conditions including temperature, pH, treatment time,concentration and the dyeing proper...

Enzymatic treatments have gained popularity in the textile industry because of environmental friendly and energy conserving alternatives. Advancement in biotechnology and modification of enzymes has been focused based on various textile process applications. All the manufacturing steps of textile chemical processing, enzymes are using for implement...

Skin cancer has emerged as an alarming issue due to an excessive exposure of human skin to sunlight. Medical science suggests that the use of sunscreen and wearing clothing that absorbs ultraviolet radiation can help to prevent this type of cancer. In order to enhance the sun-blocking properties of clothes, dyes, pigments, delustrants, and ultravio...

The photofading mechanism investigates in this study for dyeing of cotton fabric with five different blue reactive dyes by exposing sunlight and xenon arc lamp. Fading rate has enhanced by prolonging the time period 24-120 hr and stabilized at 72 hr of irradiation. Furthermore, a significant color difference obtained with unexposed and exposed cott...

This article reports a synthesis of mono-6-deoxy-6-aminopropylamino-β-cyclodextrin polymer (Pr-β-CD) functionalized with graphene oxide (GO-Pr-β-CD). The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermo-gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM)...

Dyeing and fastness properties of a series of 4-fluorosulfonylphenylazo-5-pyrazolone dyes on polyester were investigated in this study. The 4-nitrophenylazo-5-pyrazolone dyes were also synthesized to compare their dyeing and fastness properties on polyester with those of fluorosulfonyl-substituted analogues. The substantivity of 4-arylazo-5-pyrazol...

In this study, we have investigated the use of betel nut (Areca catechu) extract solution as a natural dye for the use of dyeing for silk and nylon. Chemical structure of betel nut extracted solution was confirmed by using FTIR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy and thermal properties also measured for determining the proper dyeing temperature. In order to op...

The use of natural dyes has increased in the last few decades due to the eco-friendly approach of dyeing. There are still some limitations that are associated with natural dyes, such as dyeing efficiency, reproducibility of shades, process complexity, availability etc. The main problem associated with the dyeing property of natural dyes is "low exh...

Dyeing auxiliaries play an important role in the determination of the final dyeing quality. The formation of additional complexes with dyes and auxiliary agents enhances the exhaustion of dyes on textile substrates. For aqueous-based dyeing, dye auxiliaries such as chelating agents, dispersing agents, leveling agents, electrolyte, pH control agents...

Jackfruit latex gum was applied to pigment printing of cotton fabrics as a binder and their printing properties were compared with those of conventional pigment printing. The printing performances were influenced by the content of Jackfruit latex gum in the binder and the curing conditions. Based on a series of experiments, the pigment printing pas...

In this study, we analysed different resin finishing agents on cotton fabric dyed with reactive dye. Different tests were carried out on the resin treated fabric, such as the wrinkle recovery, tensile strength, dimensional stability, stiffness, abrasion resistance and colour strength (K/S) of the dyed fabrics. Melamine formaldehyde resin treated fa...

In this study, mild acid based chelating agents (glycolic acid, gluconic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and citric acid) were used for the dyeing of polyester fabrics with metal sensitive disperse dye in closed dyeing process. The chelating and pH adjustment efficiencies were compared in disperse dyeing condition. In the comparative analysi...

In this study, a mixed bi-functional reactive dye was applied to the cotton and hemp woven fabrics. Their dyeing and fastness properties were compared. From the results, it was observed that the cotton fabric exhibits better exhaustion and levelness than hemp woven fabrics. The build-up and fastness properties of the two woven fabrics appeared to b...

Sea–island-type, black dope-dyed poly(ethylene terephthalate) microfibre fabrics were compared with normal sea–island-type PET microfibres in terms of their thermal properties, alkaline weight reduction, and dyeing properties. A comparison of the weight reduction behaviours of the two microfibre yarns revealed that the microfibre yarn containing ca...

Cotton knit fabrics of yarn count 16Ne, 20Ne, 26Ne, 30Ne, 40Ne and 120-200 GSM for plain, 165-280 GSM for rib, 205-250 GSM for interlock were investigated with different machine parameters. The investigation developed a way so that it can be visualized or can forecast the resulting fabric specification with required configuration. The research emph...
