Context: 8th-grade science fair project. I felt like the whole project would be boring so here is the abstract, the overall of the project.
This project is testing what type of fabric fiber will result in the brightest dye. Most dyes are made out of lye, bleach, thiox, antichlor, fiber-reactive dyes, caustic potash, vat dyes, and other chemicals. When you add the dye to the fabric (or add the fabric to the dye depending on the type of dye) the fibers absorb the dye. Some types of fibers retain the color while others lose the color. Some fabric fibers that may retain the dye are cotton, rayon, nylon, felt, polyester, and a polyester blend. The data concluded that cotton and rayon fibers retained the dye the best, resulting in the brightest. This is because the fibers are more susceptible to dye and once they come in contact with said dye they tend to grab it and retain the color. Overall cotton was the best while nylon was the worst. Nylon has a lot of holes for the dye to slip through also fibers are small and resistant to the dye. This is why nylon didn't do as well.
