Keratin fibres, particularly wool fibres, constitute animportant natural raw material in textiles due to their comfort andthermal proprieties. Wool coloration demands an understanding ofthe complex nature of the interplay between wool fibre chemistry,morphology and the coloration processes.
The Coloration of Wool and other Keratin Fibres is acomprehensive treatment, written by leading international experts,of the chemistry and chemical processes involved in wool dyeing,printing, preparation and finishing.
The book covers:
* the chemical and physical structure of wool keratin fibres,detailing their complex heterogeneity and the subtle links betweenfibre structure and dyeability
* the coloration of fabrics containing wool, including a varietyof wool blends such as wool/silk, wool/polyester and wool/cotton,and luxury keratin fibres such as mohair, cashmere and camel
* the chemistry of the various types of dyes utilised in wooldyeing and in-depth discussions on the physical properties tooptimise these processes
* practical application of dyes to wool in all its forms, loosestock, combed tops, yarns and piece goods, is covered in thechapter on wool dyeing machinery
* two chapters, one on bleaching and whitening and one on dyeinghuman hair, provide a valuable extension to the topic of cosmeticchemistry
The Coloration of Wool and other Keratin Fibres isessential reading for professionals world-wide working in companiesinvolved in the dyeing and printing of wool, wool blends and otherkeratin fibres and also for the producers of dyes and auxiliarydyeing agents. It is a valuable resource for teachers and studentsof universities and technical institutes, as well as forresearchers who are focusing their investigations on wool, woolblends, human hair or dyes and auxiliaries.
