Objective
Liposomes are self-assembling vesicle structures formed by biological lipids. The intrinsic vehicle capacity of liposomes has been proved by some scientific experiments at laboratory level concerning both the vehiculization of dyes and the subsequent application onto wool during the dyeing process. In this project, we try to confirm at industrial level the technological possibilities of this new strategy in order to transport some dyes (acid and pre-metallized) from the bath to the fibre. Some different industrial conditions (type of liposome, several dyestuffs, temperature and periods of time during the dyeing process, etc.) will be explored and compared with conventional dyeing conditions.. The most appropriate process will be optimized according to the values obtained on chemical and mechanical properties of the samples dyed. By this innovative approach we expect to maintain acceptable quality standards for the fibres used (mainly wool and acrylic/wool blends) but saving energy/time of the process, avoiding the use of conventional synthetic auxiliaries and reducing additionally the environmental impact of the dyeing processes in the textile field.
