The Influence of Dye Concentration on Kubelka-Munk Fundamental Optical Parameters of Fabric

Abstract:

Kubelka-Munk theory and a functional hypothesis on the relationship between colored turbid materials and colorant concentration (the so called additivity color-mixing law) work together and play an important role in color science and technology. This paper is to investigate the relations between the dye concentration and the Kubelka-Munk fundamental optical parameters through a series of systematical experiments, data processing and analyzing on fabrics dyed by disperse dyes. The experimental results question the hypothesis.
