The effect of the distribution of colorant on the color of fibers

摘要

AbstractThe relationship between the color of a dyed fabric and the concentration of the dye in the system as given by the widely used Kubelka and Munk treatment is not satisfactory. A treatment by Allen and Goldfinger based on a model more appropriate for a textile substrate permits a wide variety of pertinent predictions. One of them is the calculation of the effect of a ring distribution of dye in the fiber on the color of the fabric. An experimental study of this effect is presented as supporting evidence of the validity of the Allen and Goldfinger approach.
