Basic knowledge about blend dyeing
Dyeing of Blended Fibres & Fabrics
Blends:
Blends are any textile material from fiber through yarn to fabric which are deliberate combination of chemically or physically different fibrous polymer. Cotton and Polyester blend is an example of chemically different blend and Cotton and Viscose is physically different blend because both are cellulosic.
Reason for blending:
1.Economy: The dilution of an expensive fibre by blending with a cheaper substitute.
2.Durability: The incorporation of a more durable component to extend the useful life of a relatively fragile fibre.
3.Physical properties: A compromise to take advantage of desirable performance charactristics contribuition by both fibre components.
4.Color: The development of new fabric design for garments incorporating multicolor effect.
5.Appearance: The attainment of attractive appearance & perceptible qualities using combinations of yarns of different lusture, crimp or denier which still differ in appearance even when dyed with same color.
6.Other reasons-
Blending develops fibre properties.
Colorant modification is possible by blending.
Finishing process modification.
Improved moisture absorption, antistatic characteristics, reduced pilling, improved abrasion resistance.
Dyeing Possibilities with Blends:
1.Union Dyeing:
• This is suitable for fabrics containing two fibres to dye them in a single uniform colour, each dye suitable for one kind of fibre in the blend.
• Union dyeing is same as cross dyeing except that instead of multi-colour effects. One solid colour is produced. The dyer accomplishes this by using two or more classes of dye, each of the same colours.
• Different fibres may require different dyes to obtain the same colour; this may be done by putting the appropriate colour dye that is specific to each type of fibre in to one dye bath.
• For eg: a fabric composed of rayon and acetate can be dyed with a solid colour green by using a direct dye for the rayon, and a disperse dye of the same colour for the acetate.
2.Resist/Reserve dyeing:
• In resist dyeing at least one (but not all) of the components of the blend remains essentially undyed i.e almost white.
3.Cross dyeing:
• Cross dyeing produces fibres of contrasting color
• This is two types-
a)Shadow effect/Tone-in-Tone dyeing:
Two fibres are dyed in same hue & brightness but the depth is different. It is called tone-in-tone or shadow effect.
b)Contrast effect:
Two fibres are dyed with strong difference in hue, brightness & depth.This is called contrast effect. Pleasing final appearance is important here.

Terry fabric is a knitted fabric with ring yarn or terry covering at one or both sides. It belongs to one of the fancy knitted fabrics. Terry fabric is characterized by soft touch, thick texture, excellent water absorption and heat retention. Terry fabric can be divided into single-sided and double-sided terry loop fabrics. The terry can form pattern effect on the knitting surface distributed according to some certain rules. Terry fabric after shearing or other process can be turned into fleece fabric or velvet fabric.
It is an intermediate process. The main object of ball warping is to prepare log for the rope dyeing machine. Here magazine type of creels is used for the creeling of yarns in the form of cheese. The no. of ends taken one as per requirement of further processes that is for preparing the weavers beam .According to no. of ends in each group, the respective creeling is done to make the required no. of logs to be used at the creeling zone of rope dyeing machine.

Increasing worldwide interest towards natural and sustainable products has driven the textile processing industry to use dyes and chemicals obtained directly from natural resources. Also, textile processors and researchers have been exploring the emerging technologies such as using ultrasonic energy, plasma, supercritical carbon dioxide, microwave and electrochemical methods for processing. In the same context, this work was undertaken to develop a method for dyeing of cotton fabric with natural dye extracted from marigold flower petals using ultrasonic energy. The aqueous extraction of natural dye from marigold flower petals was optimized for temperature and time. The resulting extract was used to further optimize its dyeing conditions on cotton fabric by ultrasonic and conventional exhaust dyeing methods. The effect of pre-mordanting with alum was also studied. Generally, all dyed samples were built with either yellow, golden yellow or tan colours (depending on varying dyeing parameters and conditions). It was found that the optimum aqueous extraction can produce strong colour yields with K/S value up to 5. Whereas, ultrasonic dyeing produced better colour yields comparing to conventional exhaust dyeing method. The colourfastness testing of optimum dyed fabric samples was also carried out for rubbing, washing and light exposure. The overall colourfastness of the dyed samples was acceptable except washing fastness of the sample dyed by conventional exhaust method without mordanting. However, washing fastness was considerably improved with pre-mordanting and further improved by ultrasonic dyeing method. Further, the rubbing and light fastness results were very good in case of pre-mordanting and ultrasonic dyeing method.

Color fastness properties of different reactive dyesAzmir Latif Beg
In knitwear industry, dyeing of cotton knitted fabrics is mostly done with reactive dyes, because of their good fastness properties and versatility of applications. The ease of application, wide shade range, high brilliancy and excellent wet fastness properties make the reactive dyes preferred choice for the dyeing of cellulosic fabrics. The most important characteristic of reactive dyes is the formation of covalent bonds with the substrate to be colored, i.e. the dye forms a chemical bond with cellulose. Fiber reactive dyes are the most permanent of all dye types. Unlike other dyes, it actually forms a covalent bond with the cellulose or protein molecule. Once the bond is formed, what you have is one molecule, as the dye molecule has become an actual part of the cellulose fiber molecule.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

3. Introduction to textile Dyeing
Dyeing is the process of adding color to textile products like fibers,
yarns, and fabrics.
The whole substrate gets the color by immersing in to a solution of
the color
Dyeing is normally done in a special solution containing dyes and
particular chemical material.
After dyeing, dye molecules have uncut chemical bond with fiber
molecules.
The temperature and time controlling are two key factors in dyeing.
There are mainly two classes of dye, natural and man-made.

7. Energy In Dyeing And Finishing
It is very important to advance energy conservation in the
dyeing and finishing field, which has a high energy consumption
share in terms of both the amounts of money and energy used.
Dyeing and finishing process consists of many interwoven unit
operations, and it is well known that the process generally goes
through repeated wet and dry operations.
The heat balance of a unit operation can mainly be considered as the
difference between the total supplied heat on the one hand and the
sum of the heat required by the system and various forms of heat
losses on the other.

21. Mercerization Process Standard, Monitoring And Evaluation
Moisture Control:
More moisture pickup by the fabric means more NaOH and hence more
effect. Drying cylinders are kept before mercerization tank to have same
moisture content in the fabric throughout for uniform results. Other
technique is wet on wet mercerization, where fabric is pre wet but it
requires high precaution.
Standard: Free from moisture.

22. Mercerization Process Standard, Monitoring And Evaluation
Temperature of Padding Solution: Ideally it is carried at room temperature. If the
temperature is more, then it is because the moisture in the fabric is more.Water and
NaOH leads to exothermic reaction which will increase the temperature. So dry the
fabric properly. If still temperature increases then check water cooling line.
Dwell time: 45-60 Seconds.
Wet pick up of NaOH: Wet pick up is generally 120-125% but it should be perfectly
uniform throughout the width and length. Pick up is studied by taking original weight
of fabric and weight of fabric after padding. Pick up is checked randomly.
Washing: First compartment after mercerization tank is recuperator. Here the caustic
soda should not be more than 100Tw. If its % is very low then take less water. (because
if more water is present then NaOH associates itself with more water molecule and its
size becomes bigger which is very difficult to remove from the core of the fibre while
washing and chances are that we do not get proper washing).
Action:Adjust the flow of water.
Temperature of Recuperator: Here the hot washing is carried out. Live steam is
blown in water. So the temperature should not be less than 900C.

40. Some Common Process Control Checks in Dyeing
1). Fabric: Neps, Hairiness, Surface smoothness
2). Dye Selection: Selection of dye class and individual dye in that
class-fastness requirements, cost, method of application, etc. Dye-
dye interaction in a combination shade may lower the fastness rating
of the shade than the two individual dyes.
3). Marketing considerations: brightness, cost
4). Buildup property: Select dyes which give better build up
properties
5). Strike/leveling ability: More important when applied by exhaust
method. For even dyeing choose low strike and/or high leveling
ability. Leveling ability is also known as migration behaviour
6). Migration during Drying: Property of padding liquor. Dyes show
tendency to migrate during drying. Choose optimum drying
conditions and use migration inhibitor.

41. Some Common Process Control Checks in Dyeing
7). Quality of Dispersion: When applied in insoluble form.
Dispersion quality of dye must be good.
8). Compatability: Individual dyes in a recipe should ideally behave
as one dye forming on tone build up of shade. In practice it does not
happen. Select dyes and dyeing conditions that show minimum
variation in the proportion as the dyeing progresses. Carry out
laboratory experiments for selecting dyes that give on-tone build up.
9). Ability to cover material differences: Dead or immature fiber are
dyed in pale shades. Neps are dyed prominently. Some dyes are able
to cover dead cotton. Select such dyes for matching.
