✦ Synopsis

New Trends in Natural Dyes for Textilesaddresses 20 natural dyes that are finding innovative uses in industry and academia. It comprehensively addresses issues relating to natural dyes and dyeing problems, including efficient extraction and standardization of dyes, dyes structure, dyes characterization and identification. Readers working in the dyeing of textiles will learn how to improve practices to minimize environmental pollution, avoid bad dyeing, and select the best mordants to fix colorant compounds. Key benefits of natural dyes over synthetic are examined in detail, providing readers with an understanding of the importance of natural dyes and the proper methods for applying them.

Provides suitable extraction processes for each of the 20 dyes described
Offers complete and practical coverage of the whole dyeing process, from source selection to post-treatments
Covers practical advice on the application of these dyes to cotton, silk and wool
