Dye transfer

The dyes or dye precursors may be initially diffusible in alkaU, in which case they will be immobilized imagewise, or they may be initially immobile in alkaU and released imagewise to transfer. Positive-working processes produce dye transfer density inversely related to the developed silver density conversely, negative-working processes produce dye transfer density in direct proportion to the developed silver. 

Release by Silver-Assisted Cleavag e. A soluble silver complex formed imagewise in the undeveloped areas of the silver haUde layer may be used to effect a cleavage reaction that releases a dye or a dye precursor. The process yields positive dye transfer images directiy with negative-working emulsions (46). An example is the silver-assisted cleavage of a dye-substituted thiazolidine compound, as shown in equation 7. 

Temperature. No dye transfer takes place below 40°C, above which, because the fiber swells, the rate of dyeing increases. 

The classic method for the determination of corrosion inhibitors in oil field brines is the dye transfer method. This method is basically sensitive to amines. Within this method, there are many variations that the analyst may use to determine the amount of corrosion inhibitor in either water or crude oil. Unfortunately these methods detect all amines present as corrosion inhibitors [1174]. 

A fully automated instrumental procedure has been developed for analyzing residual corrosion inhibitors in production waters in the field. The method uses ultraviolet (UV) and fluorescence spectrophotometric techniques to characterize different types of corrosion inhibitors. Laboratory evaluations showed that fluorescence is more suitable for field application because errors from high salinity, contamination, and matrix effect are minimized in fluorescence analysis. Comparison of the automated fluorescence technique with the classic extraction-dye transfer technique showed definite advantages of the former with respect to ease, speed, accuracy, and precision [1658],... 

A new approach to improve the performance of solar devices using natural pigments is to employ carbon nanotube (CNT)-based counter-electrodes. As previously reported, the excited dye transfers an electron to Ti02 and so it acquires a positive charge. Then, the cationic molecule subtracts an electron from the counterelectrode which is transported by the electrolyte. This reaction is usually catalyzed by means of conductive and electrocatalytically active species for triiodide reduction of carbon coatings. CNTs have a high superficial area, which represents a very...

Choose specific perfumes to mask malodors by identifying their source, such as ethoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactants (fatty malodors) and PVP dye transfer inhibitors (mouse-like odor). 

Wash performance is crucial for the consumer. Stain removal, anti-graying, and color stability with no dye transfer are all important, as these are visible parameters that inform the next purchase choice. Less visible is scale inhibition to protect the machine. The laundry market is highly competitive, so that although chelants are only a small part of the formulation, purchasers want to keep the cost of this part of a package to a minimum. As a result, they are generally only willing to pay a small premium for biodegradability of alternative chelants...
