Elemental and FESEM analyses confirmed the presence of ß-CD on the treated silk samples even after five washing cycles. Then, the treated samples were dyed using natural dyes (carrot, orange and tomato). Results showed that the color strength (K/S) of the treated samples had been markedly enhanced compared with the control sample (after treatment with metal mordant). Finally, the color strength (K/S value) and color fastness (fading, staining and light fastness) of the treated samples with ß-CD were investigated and compared. }, journal = {International Journal of Materials and Textile Engineering}, volume = {15}, number = {2}, year = {2021}, pages = {37 - 42}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10011821}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/170}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 170, 2021}, }
