Dye Diffusion (dye + diffusion)
Selected AbstractsPenetration of propylene glycol into dentineINTERNATIONAL ENDODONTIC JOURNAL, Issue 4 2002E. V. Cruz Abstract Cruz EV, Kota K, Huque J, Iwaku M, Hoshino E. Penetration of propylene glycol into dentine. International Endodontic Journal, 35, 330,336, 2002. Aim This study aimed to evaluate penetration of propylene glycol into root dentine. Methodology Safranin O in propylene glycol and in distilled water were introduced into root canals with and without artificial smear layer. Dye diffusion through dentinal tubules was determined spectrophotometrically. The time required for dye to exit through the apical foramen using propylene glycol and distilled water as vehicles was also determined. The extent and areas of dye penetration on the split surfaces of roots were assessed using Adobe Photoshop and NIH Image Software. Results Propylene glycol allowed dye to exit faster through the apical foramen. The area and depth of dye penetration with propylene glycol was significantly greater than with distilled water (P < 0.0001). Smear layer significantly delayed the penetration of dye. Conclusion Propylene glycol delivered dye through the root canal system rapidly and more effectively indicating its potential use in delivering intracanal medicaments. [source] Dye diffusion and the phenomenon of barriness on polyamide fabricsCOLORATION TECHNOLOGY, Issue 2 2004L Razafimahefa Dyed polyamide fabrics tend to exhibit barriness, particularly when acid dyes of good wet fastness are used. The causes of this phenomenon have been investigated by studying the diffusion kinetics of the dyeing process. The conditions used in the pretreatment of the yarn have been considered, in particular the effect of mechanical and thermal conditions during thermal pretreatment. It has been demonstrated that barriness is dependent only on the kinetics of diffusion. If drawing is increased, the rate of dye diffusion is reduced, whereas an increase in the texturising temperature tends to increase it. The influence of dye diffusion decreases as the dyeing temperature rises. The traditional practice of dyers to attempt to reduce barriness by raising the dyebath temperature very slowly therefore makes matters worse. To reduce barring it would be preferable to introduce the dyestuff to the dyebath only once the dyeing temperature has been reached. [source] Laser scanning confocal microscope characterization of dye diffusion in nylon 6 fibers treated with atmospheric pressure plasmasJOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 3 2008Chunxia Wang Abstract The effect of atmospheric pressure plasma treatment on wettability and dyeability of nylon 6 fibers is investigated. The plasma treatments resulted in an average of 10°,20° decrease in the advancing contact angle and 20°,30° decrease in the receding contact angle. An increased dye diffusion rate of nylon 6 fibers was observed using laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM). Scanning electron microscope confirmed that the fiber surfaces were roughened, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy showed that the polar groups on the fiber surfaces increased after the plasma treatments. As the plasma treatment time increased, a greater degree of etching was achieved and more polar groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups produced on the surfaces of the nylon 6 fibers, leading to a better wettability and thus a better dyeability of the fiber. This study proved that LSCM may be effectively used in detecting the change of dye diffusion rate in nylon fibers treated with plasmas and the mounting medium should have a close refractive index as the fiber to avoid distortion of the fiber cross section image. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Valverde Abstract Vernonioside B2 isolated from the methanol extract of the Brazilian herb Vernonia condensata Baker was evaluated in vivo for analgesic and antiinflammatory activities. The compound reduced writhings (93.28%) and Evans blue dye diffusion (91.80%) induced by acetic acid (0.1,N) in a dose-dependent manner. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
