fabric through chemical bonds a preferred embodiment of this approach uses a combination of hyperbranched polyethylenimine pei and solubilized chlorotriazines to form textile and dye reactive nets it should be recognized that seemingly small chemical changes on a dye structure can shift its absorption spectrum and therefore the shade on a fabric for aromatic systems the electron donating capability of pendant groups increases in the following order u2014 or u2014 oh u2014 nh 2 u2014 nhr u2014 nr 2 where r is an alkyl group therefore reactivity of an amine that is pendant on an aromatic system with a glycidyl group is expected to red shift the absorption maximum of the dye and similar reactivity of a hydroxyl group should blue shift its absorption maximum some possible reactions of diglycidyl peg with sulfhydryls and amines are illustrated below 1b reaction of singly reacted diglycidyl peg with a second sulfhydryl group on a dye 2a reaction of diglycidyl peg with an amine group on a dye 2b reaction of singly reacted diglycidyl peg with a second amine group on a dye the present invention is further directed to the dyed fibers yarns fabrics finished goods or other textiles encompassed herein under the terms u201c textiles u201d and u201c webs u201d treated with the dye reactive peg fixative these textiles.
