Polyelectrolyte Layer-by-Layer Processed Coated Textiles
Authors: Połowiński Stefan
A polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer technique for textiles has been examined. A nonwoven polypropylene fabric was grafted with acrylic acid, and films from poly(allylamine hydrochloride) PAH and poly(acrylic acid) PAA were deposited using the layer-by-layer procedure. It was... more »

Photo-stability of Acid Dyes, Derivatives of
1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one in Polyamide Fibers
Authors: Blus Kazimierz
We have examined the photo-stability of acid dyes, derivatives of 1-phenyl-3-methylpyrazol-5-one, in polyamide fibres, including the relationship between the dye’s structure and photo-stability. The part played by the substituents in diazo components was assessed, especially those... more »
