Three novel vinyl sulfone reactive dyes of various metallic salts (Na, K, Li) have been synthesized by coupling 1-amino-phenyl-4-beta hydroxyethyl sulfone sulfate ester with 1-amino-8-hydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid (H-acid). The reactive dyes were then purified using ultrafiltration (UF). The ultrafiltrated dyes of the various metallic salts were characterized by their spectrophotometrical data using Ultra Violet-visible (UV-vis), Fourier transform infra-red and optical emission spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and elemental analysis. The purity of the dyes was checked by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC). The solubility characteristics of the various salts of the ultrafiltrated reactive dyes were assessed and compared with the non-ultrafiltrated reactive dyes of the same salts. The dyes were characterized and applied to cotton, wool, and nylon 66 by exhaustion (dyeing). Novel water-based reactive ink-jet inks were prepared with the ultrafiltrated reactive dyes of the various metallic salts. Their suitability for digital printing applications was examined by using a digital printer on suitably pretreated cotton samples. Color and fastness properties measurements were performed for both the dyed and digitally printed samples. K/S values of the dyed samples were higher than those of the digitally printed ones, whereas K/S values of the samples dyed with the ultrafiltrated dyes were much higher than those of the non-ultrafiltrated dyes. The other coloristic co-ordinates L*, a*, b*, C*, and ho were in line with strength changes of the dyes before and after UF. The dyed and digitally printed samples had excellent wash and good light fastness properties. UF slightly improved the fastness properties of the dyed samples.

AbstractThe application of natural dyes is increasing each year due to their environmental friendliness and easy application on cellulose fibers. In this study, the natural dye from the Mexican marigold flower was extracted using a Soxhlet extraction apparatus. The extracted natural dye was applied on lyocell fabric with five different metallic salts using pre-mordanting and post-mordanting methods. It was observed that different color shade depth was achieved with different fixing agents. The color shade depth (K/S) washing fastness, light fastness, rubbing fastness, perspiration, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) test results of all dyed samples were excellent in both pre- and post-mordanting methods. There was no significant difference in the results between post- and pre-mordanting fixation methods. However, the results showed that mordant ferrous sulfate had higher K/S value as compared to all other mordants. The dye extracted from marigold flower showed good dyeing efficiency with mordant to excellent colorfastness tests. FTIR results showed that there was no structural change in lyocell fabrics, before and after dyeing processes. Thus, a natural dye extracted from marigold flower has shown good colorfastness properties without damaging its fiber structure.

The lightfastness of prints is an extremely important characteristic for assessing their print stability. The fastness properties of prints can be described in terms of print durability and image stability. Good lightfastness assures the good print stability after long use. This study has focused to describe the lightfastness of printed foil samples due to long time exposure. It may also be used for the authenticity or validity of the product. Moreover, any kind of deterioration in package print quality will affect the sale value of the product adversely. Little work has been done to study the fastness properties of printed films and foils. In this work, blister foils printed in the gravure printing process are taken as the sample as it has extensive usage in food and medicine packaging. The samples are exposed in artificial lightfastness tester BGD 865/A Bench Xenon Test Chamber (B-SUN) for assessing the light fastness of cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink on the foil. The spectral curves and colorimetric values of prints are measured in the ocean optics spectroradiometer (DH2000BAL) before and after exposure. An Artificial Neural Network model (ANN) is proposed to predict the fading rate of the printed foil. The optimal model gives excellent prediction with the minimum mean square error (MSE) for each color and a correlation coefficient of 0.98-0.99.

AbstractEven though viability for printed bacteria has been demonstrated, the effect of thermal ink-jet printing on cellular ultrastructures is unknown. Retention of viability is useful when colony growth is desired. However, when bacteria are isolated from a human infection they often exhibit characteristics that can be lost when grown in standard laboratory cultures. Ideally, individual bacteria from an infection could be printed and studied without extensive culturing or processing.We have investigated the gram-positive organism Staphylococcus aureus and the extracellular polymeric ultrastructure that encapsulates the bacterial cell. The capsule is composed of cell-wall associated polysaccharides. Our goal was to use ink-jet printing to spatially control the placement of S. aureus, without affecting the extracellular ultrastructure. Observation by scanning electron microscopy comparing the integrity and uniformity of encapsulated S. aureus before and after thermal ink-jet printing suggests that the capsule is disrupted, possibly completely removed, during printing.

The textile dyes and fixing agents that used in dyeing process are major contributor to environmental pollution. In the present study, three different organic mordants (Sodium Citrate, Ammonium Acetate, and Potassium Acetate) are used in exhaust dyeing as mordants. Effect of mordant concentrations is studied on fastness properties (color change, rubbing fastness & light fastness) of cotton dyed with reactive dyes using these organic mordants. Comparison of these mordants with conventional fixing agent (NaCl) is also studied in order to evaluate the difference between fastness properties of conventional and organic salts used in this study. We found that the color fastness properties of conventional and organic salts are comparable, better in case of sodium citrate. Similarly color depth on fabric after dyeing with organic as well as inorganic salts is measured using data color. Results confirm that higher values of K/S are obtained for organic salts by using lower organic salt concentration compared to conventional salt. Reduction in total dissolved solids (TDS) of dye effluents is obtained from 6% to 29% for three organic salts as compared to conventional salt.
