The carbon black has been used in military fabrics to comply with the color requirements and infrared radiation lessening criteria. Currently, military industries don’t distinguish between fabrics with carbon black fibers or with carbon black into dyes or prints. The latter initially allows us to comply with the color specifications in the visible and infrared, but fabrics are degraded with use...

Tailored ad-hoc methods must be developed for successful identification of minute amounts of natural dyes on works of art using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). This article details two of these successful approaches using silver film over nanosphere (AgFON) substrates and silica gel coupled with citrate-reduced Ag colloids. The latter substrate functions as the test system for the c...

The application of Fourier Transform (FT) spectroscopy instruments has broadened the knowledge and capabilities of textile researchers to study a host of projects including surface modifications of cotton fibers to impart flame retardant capabilities, monitoring aging effects on ancient cellulosic artifacts (Kavkler et al., 2011; Lojewski et al., 2010), determining the amount of dye fixation to...

Introduction Denim as a fabric, has received the widest acceptance among all textile products. It has had an incredible influence on consumers both socially and culturally (Paul 2015). This twill cotton fabric usually has warp threads indigo dyed while weft remains plain white. The warp faced fabric therefore looks blue on one side and white on reverse. The warp being ring dyed, creates denim’s...

Abstract This paper identifies the materials used to make a brocade belt belonging Qajar courtiers in Iran. consists of two fabric types: red support and golden brocade. Accordingly, this examined skin tannin type, fiber types, dyeing agents, mordant, metal wrapping yarns buckle. Technical imaging, ESI–MS, FORS, FTIR SEM–EDS were identify materials. Multi-band imaging methods included Vis, UVL,...
