The purpose of this study was to determine and describe the effects of ozone, oxides of nitrogen, and simulated sunlight on the colorfastness of selected advanced generation nylon carpet face fibers. The specific objective was to investigate and compare the possible effects of the identified atmospheric contaminates on selected acid dyes used to color advanced generation nylon carpet yarn. / Antron III, Anso IV, and Ultron were the three advanced generation nylon carpet face fibers used in this study. They were dyed with selected acid dyes and exposed to one and three cycles of ozone, oxides of nitrogen and 60 to 80 measured hours of simulated sunlight (xenon). After exposure, a HunterLab Tristimulus Colorimeter was used to determine color changes. The color measurements were tabulated and analyzed using the two-way analysis of variance, Duncan's Multiple Range, and the Pseudo-F tests. / The data analysis revealed differences in color change among the acid dyes but no differences related directly to the advanced generation nylon face fibers or the atmospheric contaminants. Some of the acid dyes changed color significantly when exposed to the contaminants, but most maintained their color throughout all the tests. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 48-02, Section: B, page: 0406. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1987.
