In the Previous studies, we reported about the synthesis of poly[3-methylence-3-methylenesodiumbisulfite-bis(4-hydroxypheny)sulfone] (PMSBPS) and their effect on the staining of direct dye on nylon in the dyeing of nylon/cotton union. The results showed that PMSBPS have good staining resist effect on nylon in the dyeing of nylon/cotton union. In this study, the staining resist effects of PMSBPS in varied dyeing process and method were investigated, and the fastness to washing, light, and rubbing of the deed N/C unions was tested. The results are as follows ; 1. In the two bath two step method, the staining of direct dye on nylon was decreased with the concentration of PMSBPS, and the fastness to washing, light, and rubbing of the dyed N/C unions were increased by addition of PMSBPS. 2. In the one bath two step method, optimun concentration of PMSBPS was 4% 0.w.f..

Partial anodic oxidation of Ti-mesh with a wire diameter of ~200[${\mu}m$] produces self-aligned $TiO_2$ nanotube arrays (~50[${\mu}m$] in length) on Ti-mesh substrate. The electrolyte used for anodic oxidation was an ethylene glycol solution with an addition of 1.5 vol. % $H_2O$ and 0.2 wt. % $NH_4F$. A dye-sensitized solar cell utilizing the photoanode structure of $TiO_2$-nanotube/Ti-mesh was fabricated without a transparent conducting oxide (TCO) layer, in which Ti-mesh replaced the role of TCO. The 1.93[%] photoconversion efficiency was low, which can be attributed to both insufficient dye molecules attachment and limited electrolyte flow to dye molecules. The optimized nanotube diameter and length as well as the $TiCl_4$ treatment can improve cell performance.

This research investigated the screen printing method for natural indigo dye on cotton fabric. We examined four types of thickening agents (arabic gum, guar gum, indalca, and CMC) based on their ability to retard the oxidation of natural indigo print paste while the paste remained on the screen frame. The results indicated that the retardation of arabic gum towards oxidation was the greatest among the four types of thickening agents. The highest K/S value of the printed cotton was observed with a dye concentration of 50g/L fermented indigo powder. The best printing results were obtained when the duration of dye efficiency was tested for the 10 minutes of the dye paste remaining on the screen with a thickening agent concentration of 26.56% that represented 530 cps viscosity. The test of colorfastness to washing and rubbing of the printed cotton resulted in grade 5, and the colorfastness to sunlight resulted in grade 4. Chinese traditional Naminwhapo printing was reproduced on cotton fabric using the natural indigo printing method derived from this study.

Nanofiltration[NF45] and reverse osmosis membrane(HR98PP) separation treatment of dyestuff wastewater was carried out In order to separate relatively pure water from synthetic dyestuff wastewater, which consists of reactive dye, acid dye, basic dye, direct dye, and disperse dye. The experiments were performed by using the plate and frame membrane module. In the nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membrane separation, When the NaCl concentration was 0.1, 5.0, and 20.091, retention was 63.0, 46.0, 0.9%, respectively. When permeate flux was 125.0, 67.5, and 45.0 L/$m^2$ h, the osmotic pressure increased with Increasing the NaCl concentration. Permeate flux of two membranes Increased as temperature Increased due to segmental movement of polymer of the membrane and the rejection rate of dyestuff was decreased gradually. It was found that the rejection rate was about 95% in the nanofiltratlon, while the reverse osmosis membrane showed a high rejection rate of 99% under all temperature and pressures conditions.

In the mixed system of supercritical carbon dioxide/organic solvents, poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) film of high degree of hydrolysis could be dyed with a dichroic dye of C. I. direct black 22(DB22) and as a result, high durability was obtained. Especially, as a dye dispersant in a supercritical fluid phase, a mixed solvent system of ethylene glycol: dimethyl sulfoxide=4 : 6 weight ratio was investigated. Then the optimum pressure for dyeing could be reduced down to 200 bar. Using this supercritical fluid system, the maximum dyeing appeared as the transmittance of less than 1% and the waste amount was reduced to the level of 1/10. After 500% drawing of this PVA film, both the polarizing efficiency of 94% and the single piece transmittance of 30% were obtained. The limitation of DB22 and further improvements were also discussed.

Purpose: This study was performed to develop a simple, disposable thin-film optical nitrate sensor. Methods: The sensor was fabricated by applying a nitrate-selective polymer membrane on the surface of a thin polyester film. The membrane was composed of polyvinylchloride (PVC), plasticizer, fluorescent dye, and nitrate-selective ionophore. Fluorescence intensity of the sensor increased on contact with a nitrate solution. The fluorescence response of the optical nitrate sensor was measured with a commercial fluorospectrometer. Results: The optical sensor exhibited linear response over four concentration decades. Conclusions: Nitrate ion concentrations in plant nutrient solutions can be determined by direct optical measurements without any conditioning before measurements.

The study contributes in the treatment of waste generated by the textile complex cotton of Draa Ben Khedda, Algeria. The azo dye "Direct Red Solophenyle 4GE" represents the base particle of the discharges and electrocoagulation with nanofiltration are used as a means of treatment. The solar photovoltaic is suitable for electrochemical process to reduce the energy cost. Several study parameters are considered in this work. The electrocoagulation batch gives the best reduction 37% for a dye concentration of 7.21 mg/L ($[NaCl]_{added}$=1g/L; $j=25.2mA/cm^2$). Coupling methods (electrocoagulation-nonofiltration) gives a complete discoloration rejecting concentration 52.4 mg/L (pHi = 7.6, $[NaCl]_{added}$=3g/L, $j=2.13mA/cm^2$). The result shows the coupling efficiency with a reduced amount of resulting slurry at the end of treatment.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a unique semiconductor material that exhibits numerous useful properties for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and other applications. Various thin-film growth techniques have been used to produce nanowires, nanorods, nanotubes, nanotips, nanosheets, nanobelts and terapods of ZnO. These unique nanostructures unambiguously demonstrate that ZnO probably has the richest family of nanostructures among all materials, both in structures and in properties. The nanostructures could have novel applications in solar cells, optoelectronics, sensors, transducers and biomedical sciences. This article reviews the various nanostructures of ZnO grown by various techniques and their application in DSSCs. The application of ZnO nanowires, nanorods in DSSCs became outstanding, providing a direct pathway to the anode for photo-generated electrons thereby suppressing carrier recombination. This is a novel characteristic which increases the efficiency of ZnO based dye-sensitized solar cells.

Cotton and cellulosic other fabrics, such as rayon, polynosic, and linen were treated with liquid ammonia, and then were treated with cellulase after or before dyeing, as well as in the presence of dye. Dyeing was carried out with C. I. Direct Blue 1 at 5$0^{\circ}C$, for 6hr in the case of rayon, and 24hr in the case of cotton, polynosic, and linen. The optimum condition of cellulase was at 55$^{\circ}C$, pH 4~5. Weight loss of fabrics were increased by the liquid ammonia treatment and it was predominant when they were treated with cellulase alone and in the presence of dye. Changes of color strength of the cotton, polynosic, and linen were increased by liquid ammonia treatment compare with untreatment. Especially, in the presence of dye, K/S value of the liquid ammonia-treated fabrics were nearly the smae as untreated.
