The dyeing of natural and synthetic fibres by methods based on modern chemical technology is increasingly becoming an international industry, with countries throughout the world developing and operating textile coloration plants. Many people begin their careers in textile coloration with only a basic knowledge of science and technology, with students typically embarking on demanding courses unsure of some of the more elementary principles involved. This book is designed for such people, as it assumes that the reader has only a basic knowledge of science and mathematics. It offers a thorough all-round appreciation of the fascinating field of textile coloration. It also provides the junior undergraduate with an excellent preparation prior to undertaking more advanced studies.

用基于现代化学技术的方法对天然和合成纤维进行染色，正日益成为一个国际产业，世界各国都在开发和经营纺织品染色厂。许多人在开始从事纺织染色工作时，只具备基本的科学和技术知识，学生们通常在不清楚所涉及的一些更基本的原理的情况下开始学习高难度课程。本书就是为这些人设计的，因为它假定读者只具有科学和数学的基本知识。它对纺织着色这一迷人的领域进行了全面的鉴赏。它还为低年级本科生在进行更高级的研究之前提供了一个很好的准备。
