Iy. Kalontarov et Ff. Niyazi, THE INFLUENCE OF DYES ON THERMAL AND THERMOOXIDATIVE DEGRADATION OF DYED POLYMERIC FIBERS, International journal of polymeric materials, 19(3-4), 1993, pp. 239-248
The influence of reactive dyes and their deactivated forms on the ther
mal degradation of polyvinylalcohol (PVA) and polycaproamide (PCA) fib
ers was investigated. Complex thermographic analysis in air and inert
atmosphere showed that fibers dyed by reactive dyes are more resistant
to thermo-oxidative degradation than untreated PVA and PCA fibers. A
possible mechanism of the stabilizing influence of the dyes on the the
rmooxidative degradation of the investigated polymers was proposed.
