Abstract:

In order to identify the influencing factors affecting the process of cyanotype exposure, a photocatalytic reactor with stable conditions was experimented as a new exposure method. The influence of printing factors such as photosensitizer concentration, cotton fabric type, ultraviolet(UV) lamp power and exposure time on the image effect of cyanotype process was investigated, and the optimized printing conditions of the cyanotype process were obtained. The properties of cotton fabrics were characterized by the scanning electron microscope, universal tensile tester and others. The results show that cotton fabrics with an areal density of 180 g/m2 has the best cyanotype image effect when exposed to 600 W UV light for 30 min, with much improved efficiency. The lamp power is proportional to the exposure time, and both are found to be the main factors affecting the quality of cyanotype image. Comparing to the raw cotton fabric, the mass of plain dyed fabric (without pattern) and that of the printed fabric (with pattern) under the optimized conditions were 7.26% and 5.57% respectively, and the tensile strength was increased by 66.89 and 46.78 N, respectively. It was concluded that the properties of fabric substrate change with the different amount of Prussian blue pigment precipitation.
