Polymer nanolatexes for dyeing of soybean fabric
Functionalized low surfactant nanolatexes are used as an additive in the dyeing process of soybean protein (SBF) fabric by a cationic dye (BR46). Colorimetric tests show that the intensity color of functionalized fabric was better than that of the bare one. This improvement is attributed to strong electrostatic interactions established between carboxyl
