The Chemistry of Vat Dyes (Palette of Color Series) (Palette of Color Monograph Series) Dianne N. Epp

The Chemistry of Vat Dyes enables high school chemistry teachers to introduce their students to a fascinating area of industrial chemistry-vat dyes. Background information on the history and chemistry of vat dyes is provided along with hands-on, problem-solving activities on producing, testing, and using these chemicals. Indigo and inkodyes are used to illustrate how vat dyes are synthesized and used. This monograph is the first in a three-volume series of monographs entitled Palette of Color. These monographs are designed to provide links between the everyday experiences of secondary school students and topics in their chemistry courses.
