Abstract

AbstractPolyester/cotton blend fabric was dyed with Chemistron dye—a mixture of reactive/disperse dyes. Dyed fabrics were subjected to radiofrequency (RF) plasma treatment of different duration and were subsequently treated with metal salts. The effect of surface modification by plasma and dye–metal complex on colorfastness to light is discussed. Evaluation of the improvement in lightfastness was made using the CIE system of color measurement with a standard illuminant D65 and 10° standard observer. The color parameters and color deviations were obtained by Data flash–100 color measurement spectrophotometer with chroma QC 3.0 color quality control software. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
