Y. Kawahara et al., DYEING BEHAVIOR OF JAPANESE OAK SILK FIBERS TREATED WITH METHACRYLAMIDE, Journal of the Society of Dyers and Colourists, 113(1), 1997, pp. 10-12
Japanese oak silk fibres have been treated with methacrylamide, and th
e dyeing behaviour when using levelling acid and milling acid dyes has
been investigated. Infra-red spectroscopy indicated that a methacryla
mide polymer skin was produced on the fibre surface at high levels of
polymer add-on. The methacrylamide polymer skin was dyed with the mill
ing acid dye, although not dyed with the levelling acid type. The pene
tration of the levelling acid dye into the fibres was not interrupted
by the polymer skin.
