fabrics using disperse/reactive dyestuffs in one method dyeing processes.
In order to improve the adhesion of chitin to the surface of polyester/cotton
fibers, pre-treatment in NaOH solutions was performed. The colour and
rubbing fastness properties of the chitin-deposited polyester/cotton fabrics
were assessed. The colour difference between the dyed blank samples and
samples dyed in after NaOH and/or different viscosity chitin treatment
was estimated using spectrophotometer evaluation. The data obtained showed
that it was possible to dye polyester/cotton fabrics finished by chitin
with only one disperses/reactive dyestuff, which normally shows substantively
to cellulose fibers. The dyed samples showed good rubbing and washing
colour fastness properties within the range of colour change. The colour
strength of the dyed samples increased with the increased deposition of
chitin on the fabric.]]>Arslan, I.,200185229241Bhattacharya, S.K.,19921992Erra, P., R. Molina, D. Jocic, M.R. Julia, A. Cuesta and J.M.D. Tascon,199969811815Julia, M.R. and E.
