Abstract:In order to solve the problems of floating color and heavy washing after continuous dipping dyeing of polyester fabric, nanoscale disperse dye microcapsules (NDDM) with disperse dye as core and P(MMA-co-BA) as shell were prepared by emulsion polymerization method. The effects of core-shell feeding ratio, MMA and BA ratio, curing temperature and time on dyeing properties were investigated. The results showed that the color fastness and levelness of NDDM pad dyed fabrics were better than those of C.I. Disperse Violet 93 pad dyeing fabrics. When the core-shell feeding ratio was 1:2, MMA:BA feeding ratio was 1:1, curing temperature was 180 ℃, curing time was 5 min, the color properties of NDDM pad dyed fabrics were better, and their hand feel was close to that of the original polyester. Without washing, the color fastness was 4 or 4-5, and the COD value of reduction cleaning was 312.3 mg·L-1, which decreased by 58% compared with C.I. Disperse Violet 93 dyeing. Under high temperature conditions, disperse dyes in NDDM migrate out of the polyacrylate shell in molten state and dye polyester. The polyacrylate shell covers and binds the residual dyes on the surface of fiber.
