Dyeing of Cellulose FibresUpplaga 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 fibres close to cellulose and how to correct faulty dyeing.

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

• Basic, pigment, natural, indosol, diazotisation, naphthol, oxidation, and Vat-Leucoester (Indigosol) dyes
• Structure, fastness, and forms of reactive dyes
• Technological, environmental, and ethical developments in textile dyeing
• Leveling, colour lightening, and dye discharging processes
• Methods to obtain colour without using dye, such as through naturally coloured fibers, structural colouring with nanocrystals, microbial colouring with bacteria and fungi, and colouring through heating in textile dyeing

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.
