Environmentally friendly aspects in coloration

Abstract

People are paying increasing attention to environmental protection and prefer products to be manufactured and consumed in an environmentally friendly way. These are the main trends likely to persist in the near future. In the past two decades, academic research on environmentally friendly coloration has proliferated significantly. In this study, the current status of environmentally friendly coloration research and the future research trends are reviewed systematically, covering the literature from 1995 to 2014. The environmentally friendly coloration literature is classified by objectives into four categories: ingredient preparation; coloration process; wash‐off process; reuse. After reviewing the accumulated knowledge of coloration, future directions of ecological coloration development are discussed.

Atmospheric pressure plasma‐induced decolorisation of cotton knitted fabric dyed with reactive dye

“…515 nm (ie, the shade shifted slightly to the green region). The shifting from blue to green may be due to the yellowing effect induced by atmospheric pressure plasma treatment . This yellowing effect is obvious at a pale colour depth such as 0.5% owf dye concentration.…”

Textile dyes and human health: a systematic and citation network analysis review

“…The use of SLR is considered to be relatively subjective and dependent on the judgement of the author . Recently, scholars and researchers have attempted to introduce citation network analysis (CNA) into SLR in order to pursue an objective approach in the research field .…”

“…There are several limitations to the research methodology used in this review. Firstly, the current status of textile dyes from a human health perspective is deduced from a collection of academic articles but the journal sources in the Web of Science databases were limited by searching with particular keywords , and the efforts produced by other organisations in creating a positive list of permitted materials was ignored. One example of this were the efforts of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the chemical industry to implement Regulations for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) in Europe.…”

Pigment Dyeing of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma-Treated Cotton Fabric

“…Textile materials can be treated with plasma to achieve the least fibre damage, but that can affect the outermost surface in regard to the depth of the nanometer scale. Plasma treatment can modify textile materials and improve properties such as hydrophilicity [2][3][4][5], hydrophobicity [6][7][8], dyeability [9][10][11][12], shrinkage resistance [13,14], and adhesion to different chemical finishing materials [15][16][17]. In the case of dyeing textile materials with pigment, plasma has been proved to enhance the dyeing quality of silk and polyester [18][19][20].…”
