Green whitening of polyester fabric using fluorescent brightener OB-1 in a mixture of water and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane media

open access: yesHeliyon
Fluorescent brightening agent OB-1 (OB-1) is often used in plastic goods because of its non-toxic nature, chemical stability, remarkable heat resistance, and light stability. Raw OB-1 is challenging to use in textiles using the exhaustion method.

Electrolyte influence on sorption behaviours of Direct Blue 71 dye on ramie fibre

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2017
Ramie loose fibre was dyed using Direct Blue 71 dye at 70, 80, 90 and 100°C without and with NaCl electrolyte in order to investigate the distinction of dye sorption behaviours. The results show that the dye exhaustion increases with addition of NaCl and

Cleaner reactive dyeing of ramie fiber using ethyl acetate–liquid ammonia medium

open access: yesIndustrial Crops and Products
Liquid-ammonia (LA) dyeing is a promising, resource-efficient route for cellulosic coloration; however, its industrial adoption is hindered by poor dye exhaustion and fixation. We report an LA–ethyl acetate (EtOAc) co-solvent system for dyeing ramie with
