Abstract
This survey presents a comprehensive coverage of the literature on fluorescent whitening agents for the period 1974 to mid-1982. It is intended to serve researchers in the field by providing an up-to-date summary of the published literature on the synthesis, textile applications and analysis of fluorescent whitening agents. The survey does not cover the use of fluorescent whitening agents as additives for soaps and detergents. The latter part of the survey describes the light fading reactions of five technologically important classes of fluorescent whitening agent. Recent progress in understanding the photochemical processes that are responsible for fading, and the factors that influence the light stability of fluorescent whitening agents in a polymeric environment, are summarized.
