Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is my pleasure to invite you to submit to the forthcoming Special Issue “Dyeing Materials for the Sustainable Textile Industry” in Materials (Impact Factor 2.467).

Dyeing is the application of dyes or pigments on textile materials with the objective of achieving color with desired fastness. Since the mid-19th century, humans have produced synthetic dyes to achieve a broader range of colors with better color fastness. Today, however, the textile industry is the second most polluting industry in the world and synthetic dyes contribute to a major part of this pollution by being linked to the textile dyeing processes. In the wake of strict environmental regulations, industries are now looking into new dyeing materials and dyeing methods for textiles that could help save water, reduce pollutants, save energy, and protect human health. In addition, the demand for eco-friendly materials and textiles in recent years has considerably increased, and therefore more emphasis has been laid on sustainable clothing. Hence, it has become crucial for the textile industries to switch to sustainable dyes to ensure that the chemicals used are the least damaging and minimal energy is expended till the final stage.

In this Special Issue, recent progress related to dyeing materials for the sustainable textile industry is highlighted and discussed. In this regard, the synthesis, characterization, and application of dyeing materials for use in textiles dyeing and printing constitute the focus of this Special Issue. It will provide a good opportunity for academic and industrial researchers around the world to disseminate different aspects of their work and report their results related to this topic.

Research articles, review articles, and communications are invited for this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Polyester fibers (PES) are the most consumed textile fibers due to their low water absorption; non-ionic character and high crystallinity. However, due to their chemical structure, the chemical interactions between polyester, finishing products, and dyes are quite challenging. We report on the use of ozone to modify the surface of polyester fibers with the goal of improving the interaction of the modified surface with finishing compounds and dyes. We used C.I. Disperse Yellow 211 to dye ozone-treated polyester fabrics and evaluated the effects of ozone treatment using FTIR-ATR, Raman spectroscopy, SEM imaging, rubbing tests, and capillarity measurements. We evaluated the dyeing performance via color analysis, and determined the dyeing kinetics. Experimental results indicate that the modification of polyester fabrics with ozone is a feasible pre-treatment that improves dyeing efficiency allowing better solidity of color and a decrease in the amount of dye required.

Abstract
Cellulose diacetate fibers were prepared from cellulosic biomass with high α-cellulose contents such as purified cotton linters and wood pulps. Cellulose diacetate fibers are sensitive to alkaline solution, which causes hydrolysis of the acetate ester to hydroxyl groups, especially at high temperatures. Thus, [...] Read more.
Cellulose diacetate fibers were prepared from cellulosic biomass with high α-cellulose contents such as purified cotton linters and wood pulps. Cellulose diacetate fibers are sensitive to alkaline solution, which causes hydrolysis of the acetate ester to hydroxyl groups, especially at high temperatures. Thus, the low alkali-resistance of cellulose acetate fibers makes it difficult to achieve high wash fastness by restricting the application of intense after-treatment, such as reduction clearing. A series of N-methylphthalimide-based high-washable azo disperse dyes were synthesized and their dyeing and fastness properties on cellulose diacetate fabrics were investigated. From the overall results obtained in this study, N-methylphthalimidylazo disperse dyes are expected to be a desirable alternative to high value-added dyes that can be used for high color fastness dyeing of cellulose diacetate with a minimal discharge of wastewater during washing process.

Dyeing and fastness properties of a series of 4-fluorosulfonylphenylazo-5-pyrazolone dyes on polyester were investigated in this study. The 4-nitrophenylazo-5-pyrazolone dyes were also synthesized to compare their dyeing and fastness properties on polyester with those of fluorosulfonyl-substituted analogues. The substantivity of 4-arylazo-5-pyrazolone derivatives containing a p-fluorosulfonyl group in the diazo component was lower than that of their nitro analogues which have a higher extinction coefficient and higher affinity because of the polar nitro group. They showed relatively hypsochromic color and lower chroma on polyester compared with their nitro analogues because of the relatively weaker electron-accepting power of the fluorosulfonyl group compared to the nitro group. Disperse dyeing of polyester with 4-fluorosulfonylphenylazo-5-pyrazolone disperse dyes achieved high color fastness and reduces the adverse environmental impact of the dyeing process by providing the option of performing alkali clearing instead of reductive clearing, which has high biological oxygen demand when discharged into the dyeing effluent and generates carcinogenic aromatic amines.
