... samples are printed by using two different styles. First, a direct dyeing process is represented in dry transfer printing by using disperse dyes. Then, the fabric is subjected to either white or colour discharge printing by using reactive dyes. Excellent white index and colour strength values are obtained...

INTRODUCTION Today, pulsed UV laser is some of the commonly used physical methods in modifying surface properties of materials physically as well as chemically [1-5]. Most of the published studies primarily considered...

...C.L. Chong; K.W. Yeung; Z.Y. Cui The dyeing of polyester microfibres with both high energy and low energy disperse dyes has been investigated. The results show the rate of exhaustion on these fibres are more rapid than on regular polyester fibres with no corresponding increase in the colour yield...
