Dyeing of Polyester Fabric Using Nano Disperse Dyes and Improving their Light Fastness Using ZnO Nano Powder

摘要

In this work a Disperse red 60 and Disperse blue 56 were converted to the nano scale using ultrasonic homogenizer and characterized by transmission electron microscopy. Dyeing of polyester fabrics was carried out in the temperature range of 70-100oC and compared with the polyester fabrics dyed with the same dyes without sonication. Dyeing was carried out using two different carriers: salicylic acid and HC carrier. ZnO nano powder was used to improve the light fastness for the dyed polyester fabrics.
