This study investigated the effect of chitosan and turmeric dye on UV protection properties of polyester fabric. The results of chitosan treatment on undyed polyester fabric showed that the UPF values increased with increasing chitosan concentration. Apart from being a promising natural dye for polyester, turmeric dye was found to be an outstanding UV protection agent with almost 100% UV blocking. A study on the effect of chitosan on the properties of turmeric-dyed fabric indicated that chitosan caused a slight change of turmeric dye shade on the fabric but had no effect on UV protection properties of the fabric.
The objective of this paper was to study the application of Monochlorotriazine-β-cyclodextrin (MCT-β-CD) on cotton fabric and its influence on dyeing and fastness properties of the hot-dyeing reactive dye (with MCT reactive group), Drimarene Red X-6BN, on cotton. The optimum curing condition for MCT-β-CD on cotton was investigated. MCT-β-CD treatment was found to be unaffected on the dyeing properties of the dye on cotton. The color fastness to washing of the dyed fabric was improved in the presence of MCT-β-CD, while the light fastness was unaffected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
