This extract from Burkinshaw’s book (Physio-chemical Aspects of Textile Coloration) looks at the mechanism of non-ionic  (disperse) dye transfer to polyester fibres and is relevant to other types of fibre that are dyed commercially with disperse dyes, including the derivatised cellulose fibres – cellulose acetate and cellulose triacetate.

This extract from Burkinshaw’s book (Physio-chemical Aspects of Textile Coloration) looks at the thermodynamic treatment of anionic dyes applied to cotton and regenerated cellulosic fibres.

This extract from Burkinshaw’s book (Physio-chemical Aspects of Textile Coloration) considers the thermodynamic treatment of anionic dyes applied to polyamide and wool fibres.

This extract from Burkinshaw’s book (Physio-chemical Aspects of Textile Coloration) describes the thermodynamic treatment of cationic dyes applied to PAN fibres.

The Theory of Coloration of Textiles, ed. Alan Johnson, provides a detailed account relating to the thermodynamics of dye sorption (Chapter 4, section 4.3-4.7) and the mathematical treatment thereof.  This extract  is provided and covers sections 4.3-4.4.6 of the book, (non-ionic dyes on essentially non ionic substrates, non-ionic dyes on ionic substrates and ionic dyes applied to substances that carry the same charge as the dye (predominantly anionic dyes on cellulose). This extract is provided and covers sections 4.5-4.5.16 of the book (ionic dyes applied to oppositely charged substrates). The mathematical treatment contained within these extracts from The Theory of Coloration of Textiles is quite in-depth. The material is provided for background reading, interest and information.

This paper from  R.J. Harwood et al  (JSDC, June 1972) provides further information regarding the mathematical treatment of the adsorption of cationic dyes by acrylic films.

This paper from Bird and Harris   (JSDC, 73 (05), 1957). (Reference 35 in the bibliography for this course)  looks at the mathematical treatment of thermodynamic parameters in the dyeing of CA fibres with disperse dyes.

This paper from  Peters and Speakman  (JSDC, 65(2), 1949). (Reference 78 in the bibliography for this course) provides a useful description of the Gilbert Rideal model and the Donnan model, when considering the dyeing of wool.
