method. Dyeing was carried out in open dye bath. Cotton fabric was dyed with reactive dyes&#13;
(Reactive Blue 4, Reactive Orange 4, Reactive Violet 5), direct dyes (Direct Red 7, Direct Black 22,&#13;
Direct Blue 1) and vat dyes (Vat Yellow 2, Vat Red 10, Vat Brown 1). Silk fabric was dyed with&#13;
acid dyes (Acid Yellow 17, Acid Orange 7, Acid Red 73). Polyester fabric was dyed with disperse&#13;
dyes (Disperse Orange 3, Disperse Orange 13, Disperse Red 11). In another method and in order to&#13;
produce color on conductive fabric by a greener route (non use of auxiliaries and heat), fresh textile&#13;
substrates were subjected to chemical polymerization with pyrrole in the presence of dye at room&#13;
temperature. The effects of surfactants (sodium dodecyl sulphate, Cetyl trimethylammonium&#13;
bromide) and dopants (n-tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium&#13;
tetrafluoroborate) in the polymerization were studied. The polymerized fabric containing the dye was&#13;
then measured using Computer Color Matching (CCM) analysis to assess the dye uptake. Crease&#13;
recovery angle of the fabrics was measured. Electrical conductivity of conductive fabrics was&#13;
measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Surface morphology was tested with&#13;
Scanning Electron Microscope.&#13;
