... tested in vitro for antibacterial activity. A spectrophotometer was used to assess color strength and shade depth, as well as wash fastness and annual rubbing fastness tests for both wet and dry. Findings L* = 36.29, a* = 58.56, b* = 32.46 and K/S = 0.51 were the CIELAB values for dye...

... color strength (K/S) were studied using a central composite experimental design. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the significance of the statistical model generated for the study. Mordanting effects were measured using standard ISO wash, rub and lightfastness tests. Findings...

...Ihab El-Sayed; S.M. Saleh The effects that spinning technology and spinning parameters have on the color strength (K/S), strength, and breaking elongation of post dyed and mercerized yarns are investigated in this study. The emphasis of the study is on the selection of long stable Egyptian cotton...

... treatments for the eight auxiliaries. When treated wool is dyed in competition with untreated wool, the latter tends to take up the greater part of the dye in the dye bath. Keywords: Reactive Auxiliaries; Dye Resist; Color Strength, Fastness Properties 1. Introduction A resist process may be defined as one...

.... It is found to be a better method when compared with the conventional and existing method of vat dyeing of cotton. Conditions, such as concentration of cationizing agents, time, temperature and pH, are optimized. Such conditions show better color strength when compared with conventional dyeing methods...

... difference, color scale, color strength and light fastness characteristics. The changes in the morphology of the silk fabric surface after dyeing are studied using a scanning electron microscope. The pH in the acidic range 1-5 is optimum for dyeing, showing very good fastness properties for silk dyed fabrics...
