Abstract
A novel chemical formulation for concurrent grafting and dyeing using a potassium permanganate/citric acid system to induce polymerisation o f acrylonitrile onto loomstate cotton fabric is described. The critica l properties of the fabric, such as graft yield, colour strength befor e and after soaping and percentage loss in colour strength due to soap ing were found to depend upon the concentrations of potassium permanga nate, citric acid and acrylonitrile, as well as pH of the treatment ba th and the duration of the treatment.
