Low-temperature cyclic dyeing method of polylactic acid fibers
By modifying curcumin with long alkyl linkages and modifying the surface of PLA fibers, the problems of poor dyeability of polylactic acid fibers and insufficient compatibility of curcumin were solved, achieving efficient dyeing and excellent color fastness at low temperature and normal pressure, and achieving green dyeing and finishing effects that save energy and reduce emissions.

AI Technical Summary
Polylactic acid fibers suffer from poor dyeability, insufficient heat resistance, and low dye uptake and color fastness of the natural dye curcumin on hydrophobic polyester fibers.
The surface of PLA fibers was modified by using long alkyl-linked curcumin and coumarin/thymol to improve the hydrophobic compatibility and fixation stability of curcumin, and to improve its surface affinity without damaging the fiber structure, combined with a low-temperature cyclic dyeing process.
It has achieved efficient dyeing of polylactic acid fibers at low temperature and normal pressure, obtaining high dyeing depth and excellent color fastness, thus achieving the green dyeing and finishing goals of energy saving, emission reduction and recyclability.
