... design model was used to minimize the number of samples and for accurate prediction of possible responses. The governing parameters affecting the color change of dyed fabrics through the coating process were selected as shade of cotton fabrics, depth of shade, concentration and size of TiO₂...

... with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Charpy impact strength was determined with an impact tester. Findings – The pigments used in this study reduced the colour change of the composites exposed to outdoor weathering as compared with the un-coloured composite. The carbon black pigment was more...
