  • ABSTRACT KOLELL, HANNAH JOY. Hydrophobic
    ABSTRACT KOLELL, HANNAH JOY. Hydrophobic Disperse and Polymeric Dyes for the Coloration of UHMWPE Medical Sutures. (Under the direction of Dr. Harold S. Freeman). Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) has extremely beneficial properties, including being high strength at a relatively low weight. However, its high crystallinity and very hydrophobic nature make coloration from a dyebath difficult. Attempts at surface modification of the polymer to increase dyeability often adversely affect the desired high-performance properties. UHMWPE has applications in the medical field, including as sutures, and for surgical purposes coloration at sufficient visibility levels is of high importance. Currently, there is one FDA certified dye, D&C Violet 2, that has the ability to dye UHMWPE sutures. Thus, having additional dyes is of interest as long as the resulting color is not red. To achieve this goal, the present study pertained to the modification of various FDA certified dyes to make them suitable for dyeing PE sutures. Specifically, dyes such as C.I. Solvent Yellow 18 and C.I. Solvent Green 3 (D&C Green 6) were modified with C-4 to C-6 alkyl groups and after structure confirmation through HPLC, UV-Vis, NMR, and HR-MS, the resulting 6 dyes were tested for their ability to dye UHMWPE fibers. The dyeing study showed visibly darker fibers from the modified dye structures in comparison to the D&C Violet 2 prototype. Overall the C-4 substituted dyes showed darker coloration of the fibers and in general showed lower dye release levels during extractions, making them the preferred choices for PE sutures.

  • ABSTRACT WILLIAMS, TOVA N. Approaches
    ABSTRACT WILLIAMS, TOVA N. Approaches to the Design of Sustainable Permanent Hair Dyes (Under the direction of Harold S. Freeman). Interest in designing sustainable permanent hair dyes derives from the toxicological concerns associated with certain commercial dyes, in particular the moderate to strong/extreme skin sensitization potential of certain precursors used to develop the dyes. While work has been undertaken to help address toxicological concerns of hair dyes, alternatives having commercial success are based on the conventional permanent hair dye coloration process and still may pose health problems. The conventional process involves the oxidation of small and essentially colorless precursors (e.g., p-phenylenediamine and resorcinol) within the hair fiber that couple to build oligomeric indo dyes that are difficult to desorb. The resultant depth of shade achieved is superior that of other hair dyes and provides a high degree of gray coverage. In fact, these dyes dominate the commercial realm and stimulate the multibillion-dollar global hair dye market for the millions of consumers (men and women) who use them. Approaches to the design of sustainable (less toxic) permanent hair dyes lie at the heart of the present study. In Part 1 of this study, two types of keratin films (opaque and translucent) were characterized for their potential as screening tools for predicting the efficacy of potential hair dyes using the hair dye, C.I. Acid Orange 7. Translucent keratin films, which were found to be less porous than opaque films and more like hair in this regard, were deemed better tools for predicting the efficacy of potential hair dyes on hair.
