Notes:
The accelerated rate of diffusion of disperse dyes into synthetic fibers caused by various dyebath additives (“carriers”) has been correlated with their plasticizing action. The rate of change in length of Acrilan filaments with temperature under dyebath conditions enabled the effects of the carrier on the Tg of the filaments to be measured, and the results for different concentrations of carrier at one temperature could be superimposed on a common curve by employing suitable shift factors. The shift factors, as well as the variations of the diffusion coefficients of dyes with temperature and carrier concentration, both matched a WLF relationship, confirming that the dyeing process is controlled by the segmental mobility of the polymer. Indirect experimental evidence suggests that the same relation will describe the effect of carriers on the dyeing of poly(ethylene terephthalate) substrates with disperse dyes.
