1,8-Naphthalimide Derivatives as Dyes for Textile and Polymeric Materials: A Review

In this review we describe the use of 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives as dyes for textile and polymeric materials. The influence of chemical structure of 1,8-naphthalimide as disperse dyes, acid dyes, and cationic dyes on the dyeability is described. 1,8-Naphthalimide based dyes as fluorophores for dyeing of synthetic polymers are also discussed. Some polymerizing 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives are also described in terms of their use for dyeing of synthetic polymer materials during their preparation.
