Abstract:The purpose of this work was to investigate the potential application of scCO 2 dyeing technology to produce functional and smart textiles. Selected dyes and functional agents were applied to polyester fabric using the scCO 2 impregnation technique. The effects of the processing variables on the functional and colour performances were explored. The results showed that scCO 2 is a viable technique to produce functional polyester fabric in a resource-efficient and eco-friendly way. Dyed polyester fabric with add… Show more
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.
