� PET the most studied

� Changes in the structure of polymers:

�Plastics: >Tg

�Size stability

� Natural fibres [5]

�Pre-treatments: Hydrophobic and nonpolar

� Polyurethane

� DMDHEU

� Solvents: Alcohol and water

FIBRES

CHALLENGES� We only can use non polar colorants in scCO2:

� These kind of colorant haven’t affinity of natural fibres.

� There are a lot of variables in the process: Solubility can change with:

� Colorants (Reactive group, Particle sizeQ)

� Pressure

� Temperature

� Substrates: Natural or synthetic fibers

� The time of process is too long: 4h

SOLUTIONS / FUTURE PERSPECTIVES

� Pre-treated fibres:

�PET: with UV, N,N-dimethylacrylamide

�CO: DMDHEU, PUR, acetoneQ

� Changes in structure of colorants� [6] Novel reactive disperse dyes has been synthesized.

� Control the solubility and dye process.

�Equations to predict the solubility.

� NANOPIGMENTS

ADVANTAGES OF NANOPIGMENTS

� Nanopigments are a viable and environmental-

friendly alternative to traditional pigments

because of their easy synthesis and conventional

processing.

� Increase the color gamut:

� We can use a lot of conventional organic dyes.

� Increase the resistance of colors: UV, O2,

Temperature

� Improve substrate properties: stability, strength,

permeabilityQ
