Abstract

One of the printing issues that have received the most attention recently is the coloration of acrylic fibers. Most dyes used in conventional printing techniques have little or no affinity for acrylic fiber. However, due to the highly appealing and intriguing qualities of these fibers, it was important to look for new printing methods and procedures to assure their further development. The technical manufacture of various colors of the fiber alone or in blends with other natural fibers is thought to be facilitated by expanding the range of acrylic coloring using several classes of dyes. The most wool-like of all synthetic fibers is acrylic. Fabrics composed of wool and acrylic have similar looks, feels, and wear characteristics. To increase the printability of acrylic using different techniques and improve certain properties, such as dyeability, hydrophilicity, conductivity, antimicrobial properties, fire resistance, tensile strength, and performance properties (smoother surface), acrylic fibers are modified for this offer, which widely used in apparel, fabrics, home furnishings, awnings, hand knitting and craft yarn, and stuffed toys.
