Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is my pleasure to invite you to submit to the forthcoming Special Issue “Dyeing Materials for the Sustainable Textile Industry” in Materials (Impact Factor 2.467).
Dyeing is the application of dyes or pigments on textile materials with the objective of achieving color with desired fastness. Since the mid-19th century, humans have produced synthetic dyes to achieve a broader range of colors with better color fastness. Today, however, the textile industry is the second most polluting industry in the world and synthetic dyes contribute to a major part of this pollution by being linked to the textile dyeing processes. In the wake of strict environmental regulations, industries are now looking into new dyeing materials and dyeing methods for textiles that could help save water, reduce pollutants, save energy, and protect human health. In addition, the demand for eco-friendly materials and textiles in recent years has considerably increased, and therefore more emphasis has been laid on sustainable clothing. Hence, it has become crucial for the textile industries to switch to sustainable dyes to ensure that the chemicals used are the least damaging and minimal energy is expended till the final stage.
In this Special Issue, recent progress related to dyeing materials for the sustainable textile industry is highlighted and discussed. In this regard, the synthesis, characterization, and application of dyeing materials for use in textiles dyeing and printing constitute the focus of this Special Issue. It will provide a good opportunity for academic and industrial researchers around the world to disseminate different aspects of their work and report their results related to this topic.
Research articles, review articles, and communications are invited for this Special Issue.
