Abstract

AbstractThe effect of reactive and disperse dyes and dyeing on the mechanical properties of cotton and polyester fibers, respectively, has been studied. It is observed that reactive dye (Procion Brilliant Red MX‐2B) and disperse dye (Dispersol Red B‐2B) caused a decrease in the tensile strength of the fiber which was often accompained by a decrease in the extensibility and general improvement in the tensile stiffness of the fibers. A linear relationship exists between percent disperse dye on the fiber and the square root of time of dyeing for poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers in the initial region of dye uptake.
