Deep shade dyeing of ramie fibre is challenging due to its high degree of polymerisation, orientation, and crystallinity. The present work involved pre-treating ramie fibre with a solution containing a mixture of NaOH and alcohol in order to improve its dyeing ability. Based on the first screening results, it has been shown that iso-propanol is… Continue reading Modification of ramie fibre with a mixture of NaOH solution and iso-propanol solvent for enhancing its dyeing performance
