Message: I have a project (an assessment at my institute) about Dyes Process.

I hope you can help me to give me some information about dyes.

Like:

1) What are dyes?
2) What are the different types of dyes?
3) How to prepare dyes?

And, give me some experiments of Dyes.(I want 10 experiments).

I hope you write me a message and send it very soon...

For your first question, you should start by looking the word up in any published dictionary or encyclopedia. If you do not have one at home, you can certainly find one in your school library, and there are also dictionaries available online. For additional information, examine my page "Fabric Paints: a different way to color fibers", to see the differences between dyes and paints.

You can learn about the different types of textile dyes by looking at my page "About Dyes".

To use dyes, look at the recipes on my website or as provided by any good dye retailer. To learn about how they are synthesized, I recommend the book "The Chemistry and Application of Dyes", edited by David R. Waring and Geoffrey Hallas; it is too expensive for a student to buy, but with luck this or a similar book might be available at a public or institutional library.

You should devise your own experiments for your assignment. You certainly should not try to get them designed for you by another person. You can find some suggestions of experiments for science fair experiments that were posted on August 29, 2007, in the Dye Forum on my website, and in the "Schoolwork" section of my Hand Dyeing Q&A blog.
