Objectives
The theoretical course offers a conclusive knowledge for students who want te strive for a broad education within the field of textile finishing.
The exercises lead to skills within the field of textile-chemical analyses.
Therefore the students are expected to :
* Work independently in the laboratory.
* Obtain practical insight.
* Work accurately.
* Report observations and results in a paper.

Topics
Theory : Chemistry of the major dye classes ; discussion of some important instrumental techniques for the quality control of dyes (colorimetry, colour measurements with CMS, chromatography,...) Discussion of wetting, disperging and deterging agents.
Exercises : volumetric analyses ; gravimetric analyses ; colorimetric analyses ; colour measurements with CMS-system ; viscosity measurements ; analysis on the identication of dyes ; chemical analysis on fiber damage ; analysis on tensioactive agents, varia.
