Abstract

In this study, dyeing and fastness properties of acrylic fibers dyed with two naphthalimide fluorescent dye were investigated. The obtained spectrophotometric results of dyed fabrics showed that the used dyes had a good build up and fluorescent intensity on the acrylic fiber. Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to evaluate the simple and combined effects of the main independent parameters on the optimizing the operating conditions of the dyeing process. The results indicated that the fluorescent intensity, dyeing and fastness properties of acrylic fibers improved with the modification of naphthalimide dye using PAMAM dendrime (G=-0.5).
