Supercritical fluid dyeing is an interesting alternative to the conventional aqueous process because of its environmental benefits. The aim of the paper is to provide the reader with an up‐to‐date overview of this subject, covering various aspects, such as the solubility and equilibrium partitioning of the dyes, mass transfer phenomena and solvent–polymer interactions occurring during coloration, up to the most recent reports on the technology of the dyeing process. Even though the best results have been obtained in the coloration of synthetic textiles, particular attention is given to the dyeing of natural textiles, which is, at the moment, the limiting step of this technology.
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.
