ABSTRACT
The research thrust of this thesis investigated the role of acetylation on the colour and dyeing properties of mono azo dyes where H-acid was used as coupling component. It also studied the potentiality of 2-nitroso-l-naphthol both as a pigment when used as a ligand with some selected heavy metals and as a dye to nylon and wool substrates with a possibility of being postmetallized with some metallic salts. In addition, characterization and dyeing properties of dyes where p-amino toluenesulphon-N-ethylanilide was used as diazo component was investigated.
