Pl. Beltrame et al., THE CIS-TRANS ISOMERIZATION AND LIGHTFASTNESS OF AZO DYES DISPERSED IN THERMOPLASTIC FIBERS WITH DIFFERENT STRUCTURAL FEATURES, Dyes and pigments, 35(3), 1997, pp. 239-247
The cis-trans isomerization of 4-N, N-diethylaminoazobenzene dispersed
in two polyamidic fibers has been studied. The fibers were obtained b
y blending polyamide 6 with appropriate amounts of an aromatic copolya
mide, which allowed a controlled enhancement of the T-g value of the p
olyamide. The different fastness properties of the dyed materials coul
d be explained in terms of the observed different structural features
of the blends. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
