The use of poly(amidoamine) dendrimer in modification of jute for improving dyeing properties of reactive dyes
In this study, the poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) G-2 dendrimer was applied to the jute yarn. Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR) of the dendrimer-treated jute yarn indicated that all carbonyl groups of the jute fiber have reacted with amino groups of the PAMAM dendrimer. Jute yarns which had been pretreated with PAMAM dendrimer displayed markedly enhanced color strength with reactive dyes, even when dyeing had been carried out in the absence of electrolyte or alkali. Dendrimer-treated jute yarn showed much better light-fastness than that of untreated jute yarn. (c) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013
