Abstract
Cotton cellulose was macromolecularly modified by free-radical-initiated graft copolymerization with glycidyl methacrylate from aqueous methanol. The cotton—poly(glycidyl methacrylate) fabrics and chemically modified fabrics were dyed by single dyebath application of direct, direct plus acid, acid, basic, acid plus basic, and cuprophenyl dyestuffs. The colors of the dyed fabrics were matched with standard color plates. Modifications of the fabrics by reaction with allylamine, ammonia, p-anisidine, ethylenediamine, cyclo-hexylamine, N-cyclo-hexylpiperidine, methacrylamide, oxalic acid, o-phenylenediamine, phenylphosphinic acid, or sulfamide resulted in changes in colors of the dyed fabrics. However, the changes in colors of the fabrics were generally in strengths of hues rather than in color groupings.
