THE DETECTION OF MORDANTS BY ENERGY DISPERSIVE X-RAY SPECTROMETRY

摘要: Twelve mordanted and cochineal dyed modern wool samples were subjected to scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS) analysis. The analyses for metallic elements matched in all cases those actually used the preparation. mordants detected contained elements: aluminum, chromium, copper, iron, tin. SEM photomicrographs also examined effects of mordanting on fiber surfaces. Atomic absorption (AA) analysis is reported.
