The Chemistry of Colour Application

The broad chemical principles underlying the application of dyes and pigments to a wide variety of substrates – such as textiles, surface coatings and plastics – are explained and illustrated.
The various technologies of colour application are discussed. The physical basis of colour and its instrumental measurement are covered and recent applications, for examples in electronics and reprographics, are also featured.
The subjects covered are

Dye and pigment molecules
Chemistry of polymeric substrates
Surface coatings: paints and printing inks
The application of dyes
Pigments and their application
Textile printing
Introduction to the physical basis and measurement of colour
Machinery for dyeing textiles
Pigment dispersion technology
Non–textile uses of dyes
Environmental and toxicology issues
