CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
valid for whole curriculum period:
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, and wool, (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.
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
