The study period can include topics not covered by the regular curriculum. The contents and requirements for the individual study element have to be agreed upon with the teacher in charge.
Applies in this implementation:
This course covers the basic principles for the textile coloration/dyeing, textile dyes, and textile printing. It explores the application of various dyes in the coloration of the most important (a) natural fibers, including cotton, wool, and silk, (b) regenerated fibers from natural biopolymers, and (c) synthetic fibers, including polyester, polyamide, and polyacrylonitrile fibers. The course aims to provide a background for the preparation, dyeing, and printing of natural and synthetic textile goods. The environmental and sustainability aspects of textile coloration will be also highlighted.
Course Outcome
The following topics will be
covered in this course:- Introduction to textile fibers and dyes
- Introduction to Color Physics
- Introduction to Color Chemistry
- Acid dyes for coloration of wool and other polyamide fibers
- Direct dyes for coloration of cellulosic fibers
- Vat dyes for coloration of cellulosic fibers
- Reactive dyes for coloration of cellulosic fibers and wool
- Disperse dyes for coloration of synthetic fibers
- Cationic dyes for coloration of acrylic fibers
- Textile machinery
- Environmental aspects of textile coloration
Student Learning Outcome
By taking this course, you
can:- Describe the role of essential chemicals in textile coloration/dyeing
