The Physical Chemistry of Dyeing. Second Edition. THOMAS VICK- ERSTAFF. Interscience, New York-London, Oliver and Boyd, London- Edinburgh, 1954. viii + 514 pp. $7.50
The dyeing process has been practiced empirically for thousands of years, but i t is only in the last fifty years or so that it has been subjected to precise investigation. This book plovides a comprehensive description of the intensive research of these years in this field.
The first edition, N hich constituted an outstanding contribution to the understanding of these most complicated phenomena, dealt with the mechanisms of dyeing cellulose, proteins, and polyamide fibers. In the new edition, chapters on the dyeing of the newer synthetic fibers are included. In addition, a chapter on vat dyeing has been added and many of the chapters have been rewritten or brought up to date.
The former is treated in a physicocliernical way such that the quantitative methods of physical chem- istry may be applied. The influence of the physical and chemical strnctures of fibers and dyes, as well as numerous other basic factors, is considered. From a practical point of view, the book is equally valuable and such problems as estimating dyes in solution or on fibers, and factors influencing the rate of dyeing, leveling, fastness, etc., are clearly discussed.
The book is well edited and indexed and will prove of great value to all concerned with fibers, dyes, and related materials.
Both the theoretical and practical aspects of dyeing are well covered.
