The coloration of fibers and fabrics through dyeing is an integral part of textile manufacturing. This book discusses in detail several emerging topics on textile dyeing. The pretreatment of textiles prior to dyeing is addressed by several authors. Menezes and Choudhari present chemical alternatives to traditional pretreatment, while Tavcer discusses enzyme pretreatment procedures. Bendak and Raslan review pretreatment methods of protein and synthetic fibers, and Bhatti et al. introduce the concept of radiation induced pretreatment. Control of the dyeing process is discussed by Günay and enhancing the dyeability of fibers is reviewed by Gashti et al. Details for dyeing specific fiber types are given by Gupta et al (polypropylene), Suesat and Suwanruji (polylactic acid), and Giménez-Martín et al (acrylic). Individual dyestuff classes are addressed by Koh (disperse dyes), Rippon et al (vat dyes). The use of cyclodextrins as dye leveling agents is reviewed by Voncina while Durasevic et al. suggest that photochromic dyes can function as useful sensors. The interaction of plasma with textile material prior to dyeing is well represented with chapters by Durasevic et al, Souto et al, Deshmukh and Bhat, and Mokbul and Dirk. “Textile Dyeing” will serve as an excellent addition to the libraries of both the novice and expert.
