Tzn. Sokkar et al., COLOR PREDICTION OF ABSORBING-SCATTERING FIBERS DYED WITH A COLORANT MIXTURE, Journal of applied polymer science, 63(9), 1997, pp. 1165-1172
An extension of the Alien and Goldfinger model of the prediction of th
e color of absorbing-scattering fibers to the case of a colorant mixtu
re has been proposed. Using this approach, the spectral reflectance of
an array of dyed polyester fibers with a colorant mixture are calcula
ted from spectral absorbance measurements of the colorant. The results
are compared to those calculated by applying Kubelka-Munk analysis on
the predicted reflectances of each of the colorant mixture's componen
ts. The predicted spectral reflectances coincide well with those measu
red experimentally. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
