A sublimation printing method on cotton and/or viscose is described comprising the steps of: preparing a piece of laminar substrate, applying (for example) microcapsules onto a side of said piece of laminar substrate, wherein said microcapsules comprise a core of polyester and/or polyamide and/or polyethylene and a shell of cellulose and/or starch, ink-jet printing onto said side of said piece of laminar substrate using sublimation ink, preparing a piece of fabric containing a high amount of cotton and/or viscose, approaching said piece of laminar substrate and said piece of fabric, pressing and heating, and separating said piece of laminar substrate from said piece of fabric; a fabric ready for sublimation printing is obtained if the step of ink-jet printing is not performed.

A textile material comprises a plurality of yarns, wherein the yarns contain an intimate blend of dyed polyphenylene sulfide fibers and cellulosic fibers. The dyed polyphenylene sulfide fibers comprise a disperse dye that is distributed substantially evenly across the cross-sectional area of the fibers. A method for dyeing textile materials containing polyphenylene sulfide fibers comprises the steps of (a) providing a textile material comprising yarns which contain an intimate blend of polyphenylene sulfide fibers and cellulosic fibers, (b) providing a dye liquor comprising a liquid medium and a disperse dye, (c) applying the dye liquor to the textile material, (d) heating the textile material under ambient atmosphere to a temperature sufficient to evaporate substantially all of the liquid medium from the textile material, and (e) heating the textile material under ambient atmosphere to a temperature of about 180? C. or more to fix the disperse dye to the polyphenylene sulfide fibers.

The present disclosure discloses a dye for industrialization of dyeing cotton fiber in supercritical carbon dioxide that can react with cotton fiber, wherein a preparation method therefor comprises the following steps: dissolving a hydroxyl-containing natural dye in an organic solvent, dropwise adding an alcohol compound containing a halogen group into a reaction system in the presence of an acid-binding agent, precipitating the product with another solvent after the reaction is completed, and then filtrating and drying to obtain the compound described. The obtained compound is used for dyeing cotton fiber in supercritical carbon dioxide. The dye provided by the present disclosure is capable of dyeing cotton fiber in supercritical carbon dioxide conditions, and has a better color fastness while dyeing the cotton fiber.
