Critical solutions in the dying of cotton textile materials: Textile Progress Vol 37 issue No 1/2

Edited by R Shamey and T Hussein, NCSU, USA

The Textile Progress monograph series provides a critical and comprehensive examination of the origination and application of developments in the textile industry and its products. This issue addresses problems in the dyeing of cotton textile materials in various forms. Cotton is one of the most problematic fibres as far as its general wet processing or dyeing is concerned. Frequently, the problems in dyed cotton materials are not due to the actual dyeing process but rather to some latent defect introduced from previous production and processing stages. This monograph provides an overview of the various textile operations used in the production of dyed cotton textile materials, the key stages at which problems may occur, along with a summary of the factors involved, and potential solutions.
