Dyeing of Cellulose FibresÉdition 1

Thorough review of the dyeing of cellulose fibres with information on pre- and post-processing and various types of dyes

Dyeing of Cellulose Fibres provides comprehensive coverage of the dyeing process of cellulose fibres, covering mechanisms, challenges, and pre- and post-processing. The book reviews recently developed dyes and dyeing methods, as well as dyes which were retired and brought back into use, such as sulphur dyes, which have found a place in obtaining a vintage effect, with additional information on regenerated cellulose fibres and how to correct faulty dyeing.

Written by a leading authority in the field, Dyeing of Cellulose Fibres includes information on:

• Structure, fastness, end-uses and application methods of direct, vat, sulphur and reactive dyes
• Also brief information on indosol, diazotization, naphtol, oxidation, vat-leucoester, basic, pigment and natural dyes
• Technological, environmental, and ethical developments in textile dyeing
• Levelling, colour lightening, and dye discharging processes
• In line with the learning needs of the modern era and the new generation, this book concludes with experimental plans and research questions that enable the practical application of the covered topics in a laboratory setting.

Dyeing of Cellulose Fibres is an excellent and completely comprehensive reference for textile engineers and chemists as well as chemical engineers. Concepts related to physics, biology, chemistry, and mathematics are discussed at a level that can be easily understood by readers who have taken undergraduate courses related to the subject
