Project description

The aim of the project is to obtain a better understanding of the interactions between pH-sensitive dyes and textiles. Both a macroscopic spectral analysis and a general microscopic evaluation will be performed. The dye-fiber interactions, the local distribution, the impulse sensitivity and spectral variations as a function of time and place will be looked at.
