Protein Textile Fibers Coated with Silica - azo Disperse Dyes Hybrid Film-forming Materials

The paper presents experimental data regarding morphology and hydrophobic character of some film building silica hybrids containing disperse dyes embedded or covalently linked into the inorganic network, used as coating materials for protein textile fibers. Thermo-mechanical properties of the textiles coated with. the colored film forming materials are studied in relation with the coating materials composition.
