AIC's 52nd Annual Meeting

Removing stains from dyed textiles is a big challenge in conservation treatments as it can cause bleeding of the dyes and tidelines especially when use uncontrolled media like solvents and detergents.

This research presents synthesis of a Nano magnetic sponge loaded with oil in water (O/W) microemulsions for removing rust stains from natural dyed protein-based textiles Samples.

Magnetic nanoparticles of CoFe2O4 were incorporated into a copolymer based on cross-linked polymer to obtain Nano magnetic sponge. It was loaded with two (O/W) microemulsions: the first one is based on poly (HEMA): Poly (methyl methacrylate/2hydroxyethyl 1 methacrylate); and, the second is based on SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate).

A practical study was done in order to characterize changes in dyes of treated wool fabrics before and after thermal ageing and evaluate the composition of the cleaning. Different type of analysis methods such (SEM-EDX) unit, FTIR, the colors are given in Commission internationale de l’éclairage (CIE L*a*b*) coordinates and mechanical properties.

This article presents interesting results concerning the effect of cross linked polymers Loaded with the prepared emulsions used for removing rust stains and study its effect on natural dyed textile before and after ageing.
