Relationship between cellulase treatment and the dyeability with a direct dye for various kinds of cellulosic fibers

Abstract

The x-axis label for Figure 5 should read "Dye uptake X lop2 ( g ion/ kg) ."

Cellulase Treatment of Cotton Fabrics

“…There have been many attempts to apply cellulase enzymes to the finishing process for cotton and other cellulosic fabrics [ 5,6,7,11 ] . A problem still unsolved in the practical application of the cellulase treatment is that the cellulase catalytic reaction rate is affected appreciably not only by pH and temperature, .but also by coexisting chemicals such as dyes or surfactants in the treatment solution or on the substrate.…”
