Learning Outcomes
The students are expected to:
1. Learn the basic classes of textile dyes mainly,classified by:i. their chemical strudture ii. dyeing method.
2. Understand the relationship between the chemical structure of a dye and its suitability for the dyeing of a certain fibre and consequently the correponding dyeing method.
3. Understand the dyeing mechanism (bond formation, forces developed between dye-fibre reactive groups.
4. Acquire basic knowledge of the dyeing (generally the change of a fibre-substrate's surface) technologies.
5. Get familiar with these technologies by means of the laboratory axcercises.
