  Abstract

This investigation was conducted to reduce the water and raw material consumption, and shorten the processing time by carrying out the dyeing and finishing process in a single-step and a single bath by using decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) solvent as dyeing media. The nylon fabric was dyed with disperse dye and finished with chitosan in D5 solvent in a single-step. To improve the durability of the chitosan finish, the chitosan was ball milled into nanoparticles. Furthermore, nylon fabric was dyed with a high dye concentration, 3.2 %(o.w.f.), for assessing the feasibility of a single-step dyeing process for darker shades. Antibacterial activity, color strength, and SEM analysis of treated fabrics reveal that nylon fabric can be dyed and finished in a single step and single bath in D5 solvent. As compared to conventional aqueous dyeing, the single-step dyeing and finishing methodology yielded 53 % higher color strength. The 100 % reduction in bacteria colony forming units (CFU) was achieved with a 1 % concentration of milled chitosan. The fabric treated with milled chitosan sustained its antimicrobial activity even after 5 washes.
