...Debojyoti Ganguly; Chanchal Mondal; Asim Kumar Roy Choudhury Purpose The purpose of this study is to optimize single-bath dyeing process of wool and silk blend, to achieve uniform colour strength for both the fibre after the dyeing process. Due to different absorption characteristics of wool...

...Debojyoti Ganguly; Chanchal Mondal; Asim Kumar Roy Choudhury Purpose In recent times, wool- and silk-blended fabrics are popular for creating glamourous products. Silk is blended to wool for creating more lustrous effect and to impart strength; on the other hand, wool is responsible for resilience...

...J Jeyakodi Moses; Mariappan A; Vellingiri K Silk and lyocell textiles are categorized as protein and cellulose polymer products of natural fibers. They have their unique uses in the textile, apparel and garment fields. Polyester (PET) is one of the most important synthetic textiles with very good...

..., reproducibility may be of lesser importance against cost. In the present study, a domestic method of dyeing silk with the aqueous extract of raw plant/tree components (flower, leave, bark and root) by using a natural mordant and alum will be described. Good dyebath exhaustion and washing and light fastness...

...Parthiban Manickam; Thilagavathi Govindarajan This study aims to evaluate and optimize the dyeing potential of fungal pigments for silk fabrics. The fungal pigments were extracted from thermomyces, purified and characterized by using UV-Vis and FTIR spectra and used for dyeing...

...Hebeish A.A.; N.F. Ali; J.I. Abd El- Thalouth The green synthesis strategy was established for textile finishing, aiming at development of antimicrobial-printed cotton and silk fabrics. The synthesis referred to the treatment of these fabrics with chitosan of low, medium and high molecular weights...

...S. Ghalab; W. M. Raslan; E.M. El-Khatib; A.A. El-Halwagy Plasma surface treatment of silk has been carried out in atmospheric air under experimental conditions at different discharge powers and plasma exposure times. The treated fabric samples are printed with reactive dye using a conventional silk...

..., wool and silk dyed fabrics with hue colors ranging from light brown to greenish to brown. The dye uptake by cotton fabric ranged from 55-62%, 68-70% for silk and 59-73% for wool with different mordants. The effectiveness of metal mordant-artocarpus in better dye uptake appears...

...Heba F. Mansour; A.M. Gamal Ultrasonic assisted extraction of Osage orange with a water-acetone co-solvent has been chosen in part one of this research as a model to study the shade reproducibility of dyeing silk and wool protein-based materials. The use of ultrasound to assist the dyeing...

... good fastness properties for cotton, wool and silk fabrics. The innovative solvent extraction of the dry stem-leaves of Illicium griffithii is an easy process; the solvent is removed/recovered and the aqueous extract is used for dyeing. The CIELab and color strength (K/S) of the dyed fabrics...

... been assessed on silk, wool and cotton fibres. These dyes are found to give yellow to purple shades upon dyeing, with very good depth, levelness and brightness on the fibres. These dyes are characterized by infrared (IR) and ¹H NMR spectral studies, visible absorption spectra...

...Weigang Cui; Xin Liu; Xiaolin Shen; Xuqiang Peng; Weilin Xu In this paper, silk powder around 1.5 micrometer average in size was developed and its dyeing property was compared with normal silk fiber. The results show that silk powder has a very high dye uptake property and can be dyed at room...

...Xiaorui Tian; Weidong Geo; Hongbo Wang; Bingyao Deng In this paper, microbial transglutaminase (MTG) was applied to process silk fabric for improving its crease resistance under the prerequisite of maintaining other performances. Not only was the effect of MTG on silk fabric investigated through...

...Murugesh Babu K; Kushal Sen Silk is a natural protein fibre. It is the only natural fibre available in continuous filament form. Earlier research studies on physical structure and mechanical properties of silk have indicated that the physical and chemical architecture varies between different...

...Zhuohong Yang; Jinlian Hu In this paper, the nonformaldehyde agent 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid was used for durable press finishing of silk fabric. To optimize the finishing, the effects of the amount of sodium hypophosphite, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid and citric acid, curing...

...K.P. Cheng; C.F. Poon; C.K. Au; S.C. Tsun An investigational study is carried out with an objective to have a preliminary understanding on the properties of washed silk fabric by varying the enzyme dosage level and treatment time. From the existing results, it is recommended that the dosage level...
