Investigation Of The Effect Of The Dyeing Method On The Dyeing Properties Of Wool Fabrics Dyed With Natural Dyes Extracted From Vaccinium Corymbosum L.

In this investigation, wool fabrics were dyed with the natural dyes extracted from blueberry Vaccinium Corymbosum L. via conventional, ultrasonic and microwave method. Before the dyeing process, some of the samples were applied oxygen plasma pre-treatment, the other sample was mordanted with aluminium potassium sulphate. The dyeing methods were evaluated in terms of color and fastness properties. The fastness results demonstrated that the mordanting caused to increase in the fastness properties. The results of measurements of color strength demonstrate that the samples with the best color strength were obtained in accordance with conventional and ultrasonic dyeing methods.
