When nylon fibre is dyed with acid dyes, the rate of diffusion into the fibre depends on the draw to normal ratio than for one more highly drawn. The ratio of the diffusion coefficients for two such substrates is independent of both the dye used and the amount of dye fixed on the fibre. The differences which appear in the dyeing of barry nylon textiles relate to the time parameter Dt/r2 (D is the diffusion coefficient in cm2 /s, t, the dyeing time in s, and r, the substrate radius in cm). The greater this parameter, the better is the coverage of barriness arising from variations in the draw ratio. Since the diffusion coefficient for a given substrate is specific to the dye, acid dyes differ in their suitability for dyeing barry nylon textile 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.
