In this project, the investigated parameters that affect the print quality of reactive dyestuffs on viscose fabrics are causticizing, bleaching, reductive treatment, padding with urea, moisturizing before printing and fixation, the amount and existence of urea in the print paste, and two fixation methods. In all these experiments, Cibacron Red P 4B and Cibacron Blue P 3R, which have the same reactivity but different molecular sizes, are used as dyestuffs. The experiments done in the laboratory are repeated in industry, and the results are examined by comparing the color efficiencies, fastness rates, and tensile strengths of the printed fabrics.
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.
