In this paper, the effects of low temperature plasma (LTP) treatment on the dyeing properties of the wool fiber were studied. The wool fibers were treated with oxygen plasma and three types of dye that commonly used for wool dyeing, namely: (i) acid dye, (ii) chrome dye and (iii) reactive dye, were used in the dyeing process. For acid dyeing, the dyeing rate of the LTP-treated wool fiber was greatly increased but the final dyeing exhaustion equilibrium did not show any significant change. For chrome dyeing, the dyeing rate of the LTP-treated wool fiber was also increased but the final dyeing exhaustion equilibrium was only increased to a small extent. In addition, the rate of afterchroming process was similar to the chrome dyeing process. For the reactive dyeing, the dyeing rate of the LTP-treated wool fiber was greatly increased and also the final dyeing exhaustion equilibrium was increased significantly. As a result, it could conclude that the LTP treatment could improve the dyeing behavior of wool fiber in different dyeing systems.

In general, acid dyes been used for silk dyeing, but acid dyed silk shows weakness in color fastess, To improve this defect, the silk dyed with Acid Mordant Blue 13 was treated with chromes salts solution. Some mechanical properties and dyeing behaviors of the chrome mordant with dyed silk fabric were tested in this work. The tensile strength of silk fabric treated with chrome salts solution was decreased as the duration of treatment was increased. The mean rate constant (K) of photo-degradation was 1.019, and 1.047 after treated with Cr (III) and Cr (Ⅵ), respectively, whereas it was 1.304 in untreatment. The washing fastness of silk fabric also was improved by treatment with mordant and it was 3rd-4th grade and 4th grade when silk was treated with Cr (III) and Cr (Ⅵ), respectively, while untreatment gave 1st grade. The colour of dyed silk fabric was 2.5RP.3/10, but it was 5PB.4/3 and 5PB. 4/4 when the silk fabric was treated with Cr (III) for two hours and with Cr (Ⅵ) for one hour at 90$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This study was to examine the anti-bacteria effect of chrome-tanned garment leathers by various processes to article from hide. Anti-bacterial test by halo test and shake flask method, and pH value measurment are carried out in this study. The results can be obtained as follows: 1. In the soaking process of chrome-tanned garment leathers, it needs more effective anti-bacterial treatment. 2. pH value of samples by various processes has affected to anti-bacteria effect. 3. Chrome used by the tanning and the neutralization process have been found to be the anti-bacteria activity. 4. The dyeing, the fatliquoring and the finishing process has required anti bacteria treatment.

Metal complex dyes are usually used to dye amide fiber such as wool, silk and nylon to achieve high concentrated color and excellent color fastness. However, metal complex dyes that contain various heavy metal components cause not only serious environmental problem but also human health. In this study the ordinary 1:2 metal acid dyes and the modified 1:2 metal dyes, which are environmental friendly, are compared and analyzed in existing dyes investigated the trends in the evaluation system of their harmfulness, containing heavy metals and examined exhaustion rates and dyeing characteristics.

In this article, mordant absorption rate by the Change of temperature and fabric, discharge level by water washing, mordant density and method in mordant dye are going to be handled. Besides, how treatment method will have an effect on absorption rate and color, is also going to be covered. An atom extinction photometer was used to measure the amount of mordant absorbed in fabric at each temperature and mordant type. It turned out that absorption rate differs according to the type of mordant and sample or temperature. Also it turned out that the mordant input amount has little influence on absorption rate, that is to say, if though you use more mordants, just tiny amount of mordant is going to be absorbed in cloth. It is true that the higher temperature goes up, the better mordant absorption gets. It is found that the type of mordant and sample, treatment period affects the discharge rate. Normally $15{\~}98\%$ mordant comes off the fabric by water washing, to be specific, $17{\~}47\%$ Iron by water washing and it has better performance on cotton and nylon than silk, $1\%{\~}52\%$ Aluminum by water washing and better absorption on silk, $36{\~}89\%$ Chrome by water washing and better absorption on silk, $50{\~}89\%$ copper by water washing and better absorption on silk, poor on cotton. The examination of the K/S values and colors between before and after soaping has been conducted under the circumstance that the test fabrics had been treated at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes with $0.2\%$ soaping solution. In case of pre-mordanted fabrics, the K/S value nosedived after soaping, meanwhile densely mordanted fabric's K/S value soared but after soaping, it dropped sharply. It turned out that soaping treatment deteriorates absorption much more than water washing. It's considered that $0.1 \%$ (W/V) of mordant density is appropriate.
