To improve the experimental efficiency, save material, reduce time costs and shorten the research cycle, this study collects and analyses the literature data of 350 natural dye experiments to construct the Natural Dyes Dataset, and achieves rapid prediction of the optimal reaction conditions and dyeing effects of natural dyes using a lightweight integrated learning model. The size of the trained XGBoost model is only 562 KB; only the name of the dye and its approximate chemical composition need to be input to predict the results of the reaction environment pH, colour fastness to washing (CFW) and colour fastness to rubbing (CFR) of the natural dye on silk fabrics with the highest K/S in a very short time of 52 ms. The prediction accuracies for pH, CFW and CFR in the validation set are as high as 94.12%, 93.75% and 100%, respectively, and 77.78%, 91.67% and 83.33% for the real test set, with both validity and transferability. The integrated learning approach provides valuable guidance for exploring the dyeing performance of natural dyes with very small deployment costs and a very short inference time, expanding the possibilities of cross‐application of the disciplines of machine learning and textile dyeing.","PeriodicalId":10502,"journal":{"name":"Coloration Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141364489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, these impurities must be removed during the pretreatment process to prevent unevenness of subsequent coloration. Generally, an alkaline treatment with petroleum‐based synthetic surfactants is done, which is called scouring. This study attempts to develop an environmentally safe alternative using alkali from wood ash extract (WAE) and surfactant from soapnut extract (SE). The factors of WAE (10%–30%), SE (5–15 g/L), temperature (75–95°C), and time (20–60 min) were optimised using response surface methodology. A concentration of 20% WAE and 10 g/L SE at 90°C for 30 min was found to be adequate to remove impurities. The statistically optimised method showed good hydrophilicity, indicated by an average wetting time of 15 s, and 2.7% weight loss. The scoured fabric was subsequently dyed with natural dye extracted from marigold flowers and reactive dye. The scoured cotton was evaluated by weight loss, wettability, tensile strength, whiteness index, and colour value (K/S) and showed comparable results to conventional scouring.","PeriodicalId":10502,"journal":{"name":"Coloration Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141367100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novelty of this redox reaction is that the TiCl<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> is an inorganic compound in contrast to the previously studied organic redox couples. The redox reaction was analysed in depth and the effects of the concentration of the TiCl<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>, MG, pH, dielectric constant, ionic strength, metal ions, and temperature on the reaction kinetics were observed. The rate of reaction had a direct relationship with the pH, dielectric constant, and ionic strength of the reaction medium, while an increase in temperature decreased the rate of reaction. The activation energy (<jats:italic>E</jats:italic><jats:sub>a</jats:sub>) was calculated by the Arrhenius relation, and the other thermodynamic parameters, such as enthalpy change of activation (∆<jats:italic>H</jats:italic>*), free energy change of activation (∆<jats:italic>G</jats:italic>*), and entropy change of activation (∆<jats:italic>S</jats:italic>*) were also evaluated to support the findings of the kinetic measurements.

To do this, 14 natural dye extracts were obtained from herbal resources including dragon fruit, blueberry, mango, radish, yellow rose, red cabbage, sour pomegranate, beetroot, olive, green cabbage pepper, eggplant, parsley, bramble and cherry, and employed as photosensitiser in solar cells. Then, the colorimetric attributes of the photosensitisers were studied in three‐dimensional (3D)‐colour space, that is, CIELab, CIELCH and CIE1931 chromaticity diagram.

This investigation focused on boron, a pivotal mineral resource for our nation, and aims to elucidate alterations in fabric properties, specifically about colour changes and pilling, after the utilisation of various washing detergents. Comparative analyses and assessments were conducted across three distinct washing cycles, employing three distinct detergents: a boron‐infused washing detergent, a standard detergent conventionally utilised in textile trials, and a widely adopted commercial detergent. The investigation encompassed three diverse fabric constituents—cotton, polyester, and viscose—subjected to scrutiny in terms of fabric parameters subsequent to 1, 5, and 25 washing cycles. Following the laundering processes conducted at 40°C, evaluations were conducted concerning the pilling degree and colour alteration of the fabrics. Consumer perception regarding colour alterations, and subjective colour assessments was undertaken with a panel of 10 individuals. Furthermore, the research delved into the stain removal efficacy of the boron‐infused washing detergent. To assess stain removal, all fabrics were intentionally stained with six diverse contaminants: ketchup, mayonnaise, coffee, sweetened coffee, tea, and sweetened tea. A post‐washing evaluation of stain conditions was carried out subjectively by an assembled arbitration committee. Over the course of 25 washing cycles, it was observed that the boron‐containing detergent notably diminished colour strength, particularly evident in polyester and cotton fabrics. Pilling outcomes indicated a decrease in pilling as the number of washing cycles increased. Boron‐containing detergent, denoted as detergent B, consistently demonstrated commendable stain removal properties, particularly on cotton fabric.","PeriodicalId":10502,"journal":{"name":"Coloration Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140831872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, there has been rapid development in electrochromic technology. However, current research predominantly focuses on traditional rigid electrochromic devices (ECDs), typically using conductive glass substrates such as indium tin oxide. These rigid colour‐changing devices face significant challenges, including large thickness, low mechanical strength, and high cost, which hinder the advancement and commercialisation of electrochromic technology. With the rise of wearable devices and electronic skins, among other future technologies, flexible ECDs have garnered much attention due to their foldability, wearability, and even embeddability. They have emerged as a research hotspot in the field of electrochromism. As a further development direction of flexible ECDs, achieving stretchability poses higher difficulties as it requires maintaining high performance under large strains and even distortions. This article provides an overview of the latest advances in stretchable electrochromic devices (SECDs) from the perspectives of structural and material design. Regarding structural design, the ‘island‐bridge’ structure, the ‘longitudinal wave’ structure, and core‐shell structures are discussed. In terms of material design, the design schemes of substrate, conductive layer, electrochromic layer and electrolyte layer are mainly introduced, with particular emphasis on the introduction of gel electrolyte. Finally, the challenges and difficulties faced by the development of SECDs are briefly analysed.","PeriodicalId":10502,"journal":{"name":"Coloration Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140831839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address these limitations, Porel fibre has emerged as a novel modified polyester fibre that incorporates flexible aliphatic polyester into its macromolecular chain. This innovative design not only overcomes the deficiencies of PET fibre but also enables it to be dyed using cationic dyes or disperse dyes under atmospheric pressure conditions. However, the investigation of the dyeing process of cationic dyes on Porel textiles remains relatively scarce. In this work, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimise the dyeing process of Porel fabrics with C.I. Basic Blue 162. The effects of dyeing temperature, dyeing time, and dye concentration on exhaustion percentage and colour strength (<jats:italic>K/S</jats:italic> value) were investigated using the Central Composite Design (CCD) method. The optimal dyeing process condition was as follows: a dyeing temperature of 96°C, a dyeing time of 51 min, a dye concentration of 3.6% owf, a dye solution pH value of 4–5, and a liquor ratio of 1:20. Under the optimal dyeing process conditions, the Porel fabrics achieved an exhaustion percentage of 96.2% and a <jats:italic>K/S</jats:italic> value of 36.0. The aforementioned efforts endow Porel fibre with high‐quality dyeing capabilities and broaden the application prospects of polyester textiles.","PeriodicalId":10502,"journal":{"name":"Coloration Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140800050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
