Keratin fibres, particularly wool fibres,
constitute an important natural raw material in textiles
due to their comfort and thermal proprieties. Wool
coloration demands an understanding of the complex
nature of the interplay between wool fibre chemistry,
morphology and the coloration processes. The Coloration
of Wool and other Keratin Fibres is a comprehensive
treatment, written by leading international experts, of
the chemistry and chemical processes involved in wool
dyeing, printing, preparation and finishing. The book
covers: the chemical and physical structure of
wool keratin fibres, detailing their complex
heterogeneity and the subtle links between fibre
structure and dyeability the coloration of fabrics
containing wool, including a variety of wool blends such
as wool/silk, wool/polyester and wool/cotton, and luxury
keratin fibres such as mohair, cashmere and camel the
chemistry of the various types of dyes utilised in wool
dyeing and in–depth discussions on the physical
properties to optimise these processes practical
application of dyes to wool in all its forms, loose
stock, combed tops, yarns and piece goods, is covered in
the chapter on wool dyeing machinery two chapters, one
on bleaching and whitening and one on dyeing human hair,
provide a valuable extension to the topic of cosmetic
chemistry The Coloration of Wool and other Keratin
Fibres is essential reading for professionals
world–wide working in companies involved in the dyeing
and printing of wool, wool blends and other keratin
fibres and also for the producers of dyes and auxiliary
dyeing agents. It is a valuable resource for teachers
and students of universities and technical institutes,
as well as for researchers who are focusing their
investigations on wool, wool blends, human hair or dyes
and auxiliaries. Published in partnership with the
Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC). Find out more at
