Journal Textile Coloration and Finishing Year / Vol., Issue, Month 2014 / V.26,no.2,Jun Title Dyeability and Functionality of Synthetic Fabrics treated with Persimmon Juice Authors Man-Woo Huh† and Jung-Sook Bae1 Institution/Affiliations Kyungil University, Daegu University Pages/Total page pp.131 ~ 142 / 12 Language Korean Abstract This paper was focused on investigating synthetic fabrics treated with persimmon juice by padding mangle repeatedly. The merit of dyeing by pad-dry method was easier color reproduction than dyeing by immersion method. With increasing number of padding, the dyed nylon fabrics showed deeper yellow-red colors, but dyed polyester fabrics had no uniform tendency. The dyed synthetic fabrics had a 3rd grade of ligtht, 4∼5th grade of perspiration fastness, 5th grade of stain washing fastness, and 3∼5th grade of rubbing fastness. As the number of padding and exposed time to sunlight or UV light increase, the value of K/S and △E increased and the colors become much deeper gradually. The color development had completed about 70 hours exposure to UV light. As the padding time of dyeing with persimmon juice increased, stiffness and water repellent property were enhanced, respectively. Also, the dyed synthetic fabrics had good antibacterial activity and deodorization.
