Abstract
The dyeing behavior of 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone (1,4-daa), CI Disperse Violet 1 on polyester fibers is investigated in the presence of a double tailed surfactant, dialkyldimethylammonium bromide (dadmab), which is known to form a bilayer. Both dyeing rate and saturation values of 1,4-daa are considerably improved at 110°C in the presence of dadmab compared with those of a dyehouse grade, Miketon Fast Red Violet R. It is likely that the enhanced dyeing properties with dadmab are due to interactions between it and the polyester fibers or between it and the dye.
