Abstract
Samples of modern wool, silk and cotton woven fabrics were mordanted with five common dyeing mor- dants: potassium aluminum sulfate, cupric sulfate, ferrous sulfate, stannous chloride and potassium dichromate. Samples were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and metallic elements detected by energy disper- sive X-ray spectrometry (EDS). The results and limitations of the detection process are discussed and compared to other analytical procedures. The application of this proce- dure to historical textiles for analysis of metallic mordants and certain dyes is discussed.
