Abstract
Beer's law of light absorption and the Kubelka-Munk analysis are appli ed to absorbing-scattering fabric ic. A relation between the Kubelka-M unk function F(R) and the absorbance of dyed fibers is proposed. The r elation is used to predict the absorbance of a colorant from the refle ctance of a substrate dyed with it. Samples of polyester fibers dyed w ith different colorants are used. The predicted absorbances of these s amples agree fairly well with those measured directly on the spectroph otometer. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
