Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chemistry of Synthetic Dyes, Volume VII stresses the relation between the chemistry of synthetic dyes and their application properties. This book describes the dyes for leather, synthetic carotenoids as food colorants, and solvent dyes. The phenomenal progress made in transfer printing, which the first commercial process became available as recently as 1968, is also discussed. This text likewise considers the influence of structural factors on the lightfastness of dyed fibers and structures of dyes with their technical properties. This volume is a good reference for organic chemists and technologists working on the synthesis of dyes and their applications.
