Mr. Degiorgi et al., STRUCTURE OPTIMIZATION IN A SERIES OF THIADIAZOLE DISPERSE DYES USINGA CHEMOMETRIC APPROACH, Dyes and pigments, 37(2), 1998, pp. 187-196
Structure optimization in a series of thiadiazolyl azo dyes to be used
as disperse dyes for polyester fibres has been carried out by a chemo
metric approach based on experimental design in principal properties a
nd PLS modelling. The thiadiazole nucleus confers a general excellent
performance with respect to wet fastness. Light fastness depends on th
e substitution pattern. Three dyes with especially high fastness value
s have been identified. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
