The processes by which dye is transferred from the liquor to the fibre are discussed briefly. Dyes and fibres are complex in structure and most dyeing systems are multicomponent; thus any attempt to correlate the chemical structure of a fibre and the chemical structure of the dyes that are used to dye it will probably have limited success. A simplified classification of some dyeing systems is given. In general, dye‐fibre systems may be divided into non‐ionic and ionic systems, the latter being subdivided into ionic systems with like and those with unlike charges. These systems are discussed. Structural features of the fibre that may influence the equilibrium sorption of dye are given and the effects of fibre structure on the kinetics of dyeing are considered. The dye‐fibre system is analysed. There is no ‘theory of dyeing’ that can adequately describe practical behaviour.
