What is the chemical make up of
the different fibres?
Nylon has NH3 groups at end of the
polymer chain only. Has amide bonds
allowing for H Bonds. Relatively non polar
Polyesters relatively non polar, cant H
bond
Cotton lots of OH group so can H bond
Acid Blue
What functional groups does it have and what
do they confer on the molecule?
 Acid Blue
What fibres does
acid blue dye can
Wool you explain the
pattern of dyeing in
Acrylic terms of the
chemical
Polyester composition of the
dye and the fibres?

Nylon

Cotton

Acetate
 Acid Blue

Wool

Acrylic
Acid Blue dyes nylon and wool
Polyester because it can form Hydrogen
Nylon bonds with the N-H groups on
the nylon and wool fibres.
Cotton The SO3-groups also form
strong ionic attractions with
Acetate the NH groups on the nylon
can also dye cotton because it
can form Hydrogen bonds
with the fibres.

 Disperse Yellow
What fibres does
disperse yellow dye
can you explain the
Wool pattern of dyeing in
terms of the chemical

Acrylic and the fibres?

Polyester

Acetate
 Disperse Yellow

Wool

Acrylic
Disperse yellow dyes both
Polyester nylon and wool because it
bonds by Instantaneous
Nylon induced forces to the
fibres. It does not dye
Cotton cotton because it can not
form sufficient Hydrogen
Acetate bonds with the cotton
fibres.
Direct Red
What functional groups does it have and what
do they confer on the molecule?

What would expect this molecule to dye?

Explain giving your reasons.

Acrylic
Direct red dyes cotton.
Polyester The big dye molecule
Nylon aligns itself along the
cotton fibres allowing H
Cotton bonding to take place
between the dye and the
Acetate fibre. The sulphate groups
form strong ionic
interactions with the NH
gps on the nylon and wool.
