The transition in the fibre-mix processing is changing the textile chemical scenario constantly and with this back-drop the textile chemicals are reviewed with a peep into the wonder moieties which go into the making of these speciality chemicals.

Key technologies starting from fibre engineering to finishing process have been illustrated for producing silky polyester fabrics with bulky hand touch and superior drape. Effects of polymer additives, delustrants, surfactants, etc. on alkaline hydrolysis of polyester fabrics for improving silk-like characteristics have also been highlighted.

The plasma treatment causes mainly chemical modification and increases wetting and adhesion, whereas sputter-etching produces a number of protrusions on the surface and leads to increase in adhesion and decrease in light reflection, thereby increasing the depth of shade considerably.

These developments have facilitated colour communication, harmonization and reproduction for the first time. The most interesting applications of these developments are on-line colour measurement coupled with process monitoring and reproduction of colour on the monitor of the computer. Software for prediction of recipes today incorporates artificial intelligence. Dispensing of dye powder, paste or solution using colour matching computer is now a state-of the-art. This article reviews these developments which have benefited not only the colourist but also the designer and the management. Page(s): 64-68 1996-03-01T00:00:00Z
