Abstract
AbstractThe aim of the current study was to determine the effect of laser treatment on basic dye uptake and the fastness values of acrylic socks. To achieve this, laser treatments were applied to acrylic socks at different resolutions (10, 20 and 30 dpi) over various pixel times (80, 100 and 120 µs) before dyeing. To support the findings obtained, tests and analyses, such as Yellowness Index, Fourier Transform–infrared analysis, scanning electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, and bursting strength, were also applied to untreated and treated fabric samples. It was found that treatment with laser did not have a significant effect on the basic dye uptake of fibres; nevertheless, the samples treated with laser were dyed slightly lighter than the untreated sample. Furthermore, it was determined that the samples treated at 30 dpi started to melt and the fabric was damaged considerably, but the fabrics treated at 10 and 20 dpi were not affected at all. Another result obtained regarding the use of laser technology in acrylic socks is that if some areas of acrylic socks are not treated with laser, while some other areas are treated with laser at 20 dpi for 100 µs, it is possible to obtain patterns containing two different shades of the same colour on the socks.
