Abstract:In this work, the influence of nano titanium dioxide (TiO2) finishing on colorimetric properties of polyester fabrics dyed with mono-azo disperse dyes was examined in terms of the degree of shade change, color strength reduction and the percentage of dye lost from the fabrics and color fastness to washing. A self-cleaning effect imparted by nano TiO2 not only removes unwanted stains from polyester fabrics but also the dye molecules situated in the area nearby the fiber surface. Changes in colorimetric properti… Show more
