New dyesaliphatic esters of 1,6,7,12-tetrachloroperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acidwere prepared as potential fluorescent light-stable colorants for high-visibility safety wear. The structure of the 15 perylenes was confirmed by 1 H and 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, and their spectroscopic and physicochemical properties were determined. An attempt was made to apply the synthesised products as disperse dyes in the coloration of polyester as well as in the mass coloration of polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate). The light, wash, and rubbing fastness of the dyeings were determined, and chromaticity coordinates of selected samples were measured and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
