Silk fibres consist of sericin and fibroin. 20–25% of silk fibre is sericin. Sericin is biodegradable, antibacterial, and UV resistant. In this study, silk sericin protein was applied to wool fabric as a pre-treatment. Wool fabrics pre-treated with silk sericin were dyed with Eriofast Red B and Eriofast Blue 3R dyestuffs. Colour and reflectance measurements of the dyed wool samples were carried out. Washing, rubbing, light fastness properties were explored. Moreover, hydrophilicity, nitrogen content (Kjeldahl Method), FTIR and ESCA analysis were performed on the sericin applied wool fabric samples. Pre-treatment with sericin was found to increase the hydrophilicity level of wool fibres. Pre-treatment with silk sericin also increased the colour yield of wool fibre dyed with Eriofast Red B and Eriofast Blue 3R. It was determined that the wool fibre fabrics pre-treated with sericin displayed sufficient colour and colour fastness values even after dyeing at lower dyeing temperatures.

A series of eight novel heterocyclic based monoazo acid dyes were synthesized using various substituted imidazol-4-one as diazo component and coupled with various amino-napthol sulphonic acids. The resultant dyes were characterized using standard spectroscopic methods and then dyeing performance on wool fabric was assessed. Final results concluded that exhaustion (%E) of the dyes on wool fibers increased with decreasing pH of application and that fixation (%F) of the dyes on wool fibers increased with increasing pH of application and the highest total fixation efficiency was achieved at pH 5. Wash and light fastness properties of prepared dyes showed encouraging results.

: The dyes are synthesized by 3-Amino-2-thioxo-4thiazolidinone (N-Amino rhodanine) with glutaraldehyde or Terephthalaldehyde by 2:1 mole to form a and b then coupled with diazonium salts p-Amino benzenesulfonic acid and 4-Amino 3,4 disulfoazobenzeneazobenzene by 2:1 to form new different bis monoazo a1, b1 and diazo a2 and b2 acid dyes. Therefore, the synthesized dyes were applied to both silk and wool fabric materials. We also evaluated the antimicrobial activity for these dyed fabrics against two model gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Further, the chemical composition of these dyes is emphasized by elemental analysis Aims: This paper aims to synthesize, apply dye and antimicrobial to four new acid dyes based on derivatives of N-Amino rodanine as a chromophoric group. These dyes are used in dyeing silk and wool with the good lightfastness and are also excellent for washing, rubbing, and sweating fastness. Also, we measure antimicrobial activity for silk and wool fabrics toward Gram-negative, Gram-positive. Background: The search for a synthesis of new acid dyes has antimicrobial for gram-negative and gram-positive. These dyes are mainly used on silk and wool fabrics which have excellent for light fastness, washing, rubbing, and sweating fastness. Objective: The present studies were aimed at synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial toward gram- negative and gram-positive. Methods: The infra-red spectrum was recorded using an Infra-red spectrometer, Perkin Elmer/1650 FT-IR. The 1H-NMR spectra were recorded using a Varian 400MHz spectrometer. The absorbance of the dyes was measured in the ultraviolet-visible region between 300 and 700 nm by a UNICAM UV spectrophotometer. The dye uptake by wool and silk fabrics was measured using a Shimadzu UV-2401PC (UV/V is spectrophotometer at λmax) before and after dyeing. The produced dyes were found to have good antimicrobial activity against a variety of bacteria. Results and Discussion: The compounds a1, b1, a2 &b2 shows good antimicrobial activity toward gram-negative (E. coli), gram-positive (S. aurous). The data showed that exhaustion and the fastness properties of silk and wool dyed fabrics were both very high. Conclusion: This work prepares newly synthesized acid dyes based on 3-Amino-2-thioxo-4thiazolidinone derivatives and uses them for dyeing wool and silk fabrics. Both synthetic dyes have good light fastness and fastness properties. Also, all dyes have a good antimicrobial effect.

Biopolymers are suitable replacement materials for different chemical processes. In this work, silk yarns were treated with different chitosan concentration and then dyed with mono and bi-functional reactive dyes. The color yield, color difference and color fastness to light and washing of the dyed silk yarns were evaluated. Also, the effects of chitosan concentration, type of the reactive dyes on dye uptake of samples were studied. The bi-functional reactive dye has a high adsorption compared to mono-functional ones. The silk yarn treated with 3% chitosan had higher K/S values, washing and light fastness. The effects of chitosan on the antibacterial properties of silk yarns against two kinds of bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were investigated. The treated silk samples were found to have antibacterial potential due to the antibacterial property of chitosan. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs reveal the deposition of chitosan on the treated yarns. Washing durability, handle properties, and yellowness of treated and dyed samples were also investigated.

This paper aims to synthesise, characterise and find out the properties of a model dye for convenient union dyeing of wool, polyester and wool/polyester blend fabric compared with C.I. Disperse Yellow 23. The reactive disperse dye was prepared containing sulphatoethylsulphone (SES) as a reactive group. The dye was synthesised by diazotization and coupling reaction. Firstly, we synthesized azo dye intermediate I using 1-aminobenzene-4-sulphatoethylsulphone diazotized and then coupled it with aniline. The synthesized azo dye intermediate I was diazotized and coupled with phenol to give dye 2. Different factors affecting the dyeability and fastness properties of SES dye 2 were thoroughly investigated on wool, polyester and wool/polyester blend fabrics in comparison with C.I. Disperse Yellow 23 dye 1. Maximum exhaustion and total fixation yield using sulphatoethylsulphone (SES) dye 2 were achieved on wool fabric at neutral pH 7. The dye showed high dyeing performance due to its nonionic reactive VS derivative. The dyeing results indicate high quality dyeing properties


Cotton leaves have been used to extract natural dye for dyeing of Egyptian cotton variety Giza 86 fabric and its blend with polyester 50:50, using different mordants such as iron (II) sulfate, copper (II) sulfate, and alum. The exhaust dyeing method was utilized using the pre-mordant technique. It is observed that both fabric samples can be dyed in different colors and depth of shades with Cotton leaves dye. Iron (II) sulfate ensures the best light fastness. Improved light fastness is obtained using abovementioned lower amounts of iron (II) sulfate and copper (II) sulfate. Alum is found to be less effective than iron (II) sulfate and copper (II) sulfate on the light fastness. As a novel alternative and potential natural dye, Cotton leaves extract solution can be used to get various colors and shades with satisfactory fastness properties. The mordanted and un-mordanted fabric samples were tested for their dyeing performance in terms of color parameters K/S, (L*), a*, b*, (C*) and (H*), and fastness properties (wash, perspiration, light and rubbing fastness) were studied. The samples showed high color strength, and high fastness properties. These results are very important for industrial application and with the production of a natural dye as an inexpensive source from cotton leaves as a by-product. Another objective is to increase the production of eco-textile garments with a good price for the Egyptian customers.

Purpose The present study aims to focus on the feasibility of using an aqueous extract from the fruit shell of Camellia oleifera Abel as a source of natural colourant in printing-paste preparation for pigment printing of cotton fabric. The effects of pre- and post-mordanting with three common metallic mordants, that is AlK(SO4)2, CuSO4 and FeSO4 on colour yield and colour fastness properties are also investigated. Design/methodology/approach The printing paste was prepared by mixing the concentrated Camellia oleifera Abel fruit shell extract solution with commercially available synthetic thickener and binder. The fabric sample was printed with the prepared printing paste using a flat-screen printing technique. To determine the effects of pre- and post-mordanting, AlK(SO4)2, CuSO4 and FeSO4 mordant aqueous solutions with various concentrations were applied using the pad-dry technique. Comparisons between printing with and without mordants were evaluated in terms of colour strength (K/S values) and colour fastness to washing, light, crocking and perspiration. Findings Without the mordants, the printed fabric had a yellowish brown shade with acceptable colour fastness properties, that is fair to good wash fastness, moderate light fastness, good to very good crocking fastness and fair to good perspiration fastness. The use of mordants, especially CuSO4 and FeSO4, not only enhanced colour strength but also imparted different colours to the fabric. Compared to the unmordanted fabrics, colour fastness properties were mostly comparable or improved in the mordanted fabrics depending on the type and concentration of mordants. Research limitations/implications Although in the case of CuSO4 the light fastness was increased to a good to very good level, it is recommended that the final print be produced with a concentration of less than 0.125 gL−1 to yield the print with the residual amount of Cu metal under the limit, that is less than 50 ppm as regulated by the Oeko-Tex® standard. Practical implications The obtained prints from Camellia oleifera Abel fruit shell extract provided shades with satisfactory colour fastness to washing, light, crocking and perspiration. The extract from Camellia oleifera Abel fruit shell has the potential to be used as an alternative to synthetic dye in the textile industry. Originality/value The use of Camellia oleifera Abel fruit shells, which are considered as abundant byproducts of tea seed oil production, as natural colouring agents for pigment printing of cotton fabric has been reported for the first time. It will minimise the environmental impact of this waste and create more valuable textile products.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to optimize single-bath dyeing process of wool and silk blend, to achieve uniform colour strength for both the fibre after the dyeing process. Due to different absorption characteristics of wool and silk, two-stage dyeing is preferred in the industry. If the fibres are dyed together, the wool fibre becomes darker and the silk fibre becomes lighter after the dyeing process. Solid dyeing effect can be achieved using a single-bath dyeing process. Design/methodology/approach The dye-acceptor sites in the wool fibre are first blocked using one commercial syntan Mesitol HWS. Then, the syntan-treated wool and silk fibres (80:20 blend ratios) are dyed with Telon Navy AMF dyes in the presence of sodium sulphate. To explore the influence of Syntan, sodium sulphate and the experimental conditions on the dyeing process and to optimize the process, central composite design (CCD) of four factors and three levels was tested. Findings The design process is optimized using four independent variables: Mesitol HWS concentration, sodium sulphate concentration, pH of dyebath and temperature of dyeing. Three levels of Mesitol HWS concentration (5, 10 and 15 per cent), sodium sulphate concentration (10, 20 and 30 per cent), pH (2.5, 4 and 5.5) and temperature of dyeing (70, 80 and 900°C) were selected for this study. These variables are optimized using response surface regression equation of the ratio of K/S wool and K/S silk. The predicted equation matched well with the experimental data. Originality/value This paper proposes the use of one-bath dyeing process of wool and silk blend fabric to reduce the dyeing time, process step and to save water.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to successfully implement microwave irradiation for the rapid synthesis of novel fluorescent dyes. The prepared dyes are then applied for printing of polyester and polyamide by silk screen printing process. Design/methodology/approach A series of new N′-(methylene)-2-imino-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide derivatives 3a–r were synthesised in excellent yield and high atom economy by the Knoevenagel condensation of salicylaldehyde derivatives 1 and cyano-N′-methyleneaceto-hydrazide derivatives 2 in the presence of piperidine catalyst. The optical properties of the synthesised compounds were recorded; all of the compounds were found to be fluorescent in 1, 4-dioxane solution; they all emitted blue light (440-460 nm). This work shows that the optical properties strongly depend on the nature of the substituent, and indicate which type of substituent is favourable for a given application. It confirms that iminocoumarin derivatives could lead to a new generation of fluorescent probes, prone to easy modification of their chemical structure. These synthesised dyes are used to print polyester and polyamide fabrics using synthetic thickener in the printing paste for silk screen technique. Findings The structures of synthesised dyes were established and confirmed for the reaction products on the basis of their elemental analysis and spectral data (MS, IR and 1H-NMR). The suitability of the prepared dyestuffs for traditional printing on polyester and polyamide fabrics has been investigated. The prints obtained using the synthesised dyes were found to possess high colour strength and excellent overall fastness properties but relatively low light fastness. Research limitations/implications The synthesised fluorescent dyes were prepared by a simple reaction process in microwave. The optical properties for obtained dyes show include the fact that it will have various important applications. In addition, they were used for printing synthetic fabrics and were found to have good results. Practical implications The new fluorescent dyes’ system has excellent printing properties. Also they are superior in terms of yield, purity, colour strength and fastness properties which may lend them valuable commercial production. Originality/value The result of this work aimed to define the scope and limitation of the procedures for the synthesis of novel iminocoumarin dyes via a simple and economic way.

Natural dyes extracted from Cassia fistula and onion peels are used to dye wool that is pretreated with chitosan by using tannic acid as a mordant. The effect of the mordant concentration on the color strength (K/S) is discussed. The results obtained indicated that K/S increases after treatment with chitosan. It is also noticed that K/S increases with an increasing concentration of chitosan. K/S also increases with an increase of mordant concentration until 4% and then decreases. The effect of the dye bath pH, dyeing temperature and dyeing time are also studied. The K/S and dye uptake exhibit high values. Good fastness properties of the dyed fabric are achieved. The antimicrobial activity of chitosan-treated wool fabric is tested in accordance to diffusion agents. Test organisms, such as Escherichia coli, Bacillus subitilus Pseudomons aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are used and the results indicate that the samples treated with a lower concentration of chitosan exhibit a smaller inhibition zone.
