An experimental study on production of intelligent textile by using ionocromic materials

Abstract

The production of an intelligent textile material that changes color under the influence of pH was researched in this research article. For this purpose, halochromic dyes were used. In halochromic dyes, bleeding and fastness problems are encountered after dyeing. In order to solve these problems; the dye is fixed with cationic fixators in the textile fiber. In this study, a woven nylon fabric was dyed with Alizarin Red S halochromic dyestuff by conventional dyeing method which was followed by post-treated by tannic acid/potassium antimony tartarate at different ratios (1%, 2%, 3%). After dyeing and post-treating, CIELab, K/S, ΔE* values were measured by spectrophotometer and compared. In order to investigate the effect of halochromics on the post-treated, dyed and post-treated fabrics were immersed in 5 different solutions prepared by using HCl and NaOH between pH 2 and 10, and the samples were removed after 1 hour and the color change in the samples was compared. After the process, the speed of fixation of the dye molecule onto the fiber was increased.
