The nonpolar, crystalline nature of polypropylene fiber, with associated low saturation uptake, has tended to preclude dyeing of this fiber in all but very light shades by use of conventional dyes and dyeing procedures. Although modified versions of polypropylene are capable of being dyed, there still is a need for a practical, commercially viable method for dyeing unmodified fiber. A technique is being explored at The University of Georgia that may offer a solution to this difficult dyeing problem. Initial laboratory findings are presented and areas for further study are solicited. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
