Topics
The Editor-in-Chief welcomes submission of papers on coloration and topics covering the science and technology of coloured materials. Its scope embraces:
Colorants of all classes in relation to:
• Molecular structure and physical form and the effects of these on application and in-service properties
• Chemistry, synthesis and manufacture
Chemicals:
• Composition and mode of action of chemicals used at any stage in coloration, including pre- and post-coloration processes
Application practice:
• Processing operations on different types of laboratory and bulk-scale equipment
• Practical significance of any processing variants
• Developments in coloration processes
Application theory:
• Chemistry and physical chemistry of coloration processes
• Correlation with industrial practice
Analysis and testing:
• Identification and characterisation of colorants, substrates, finishes and chemicals in substance and on substrates
• Identification of faults
• Fastness testing
• Equipment and techniques
Theory and practice of ancillary processes:
• Processes involved in coloration or in the achievement of the final coloured product
Physico-chemical aspects of colour:
• Colour and constitution
• Colour theory
• Colorimetry and equipment
• Colour matching
• Colour vision
• Spectra
• Photochemistry of colorants, substrates and chemicals
Plant, management and services, provided that it is directly related to coloration, information on:
• Building, machinery, works engineering and organisation
• Automation, instrumentation and control
• Power and energy resources
• Water quality, supply and handling
• Effluent, pollution and environmental factors
Subjects within the scope of the journal include those making functional use of colour in addition to more conventional, aesthetic colorants. The following illustrate fields considered of relevance to the journal.
Colorants; Application:
As well as conventional dyes and pigments, functional colorants fall within journal scope. Applications encompassed therefore include those in which the colour properties of the dyes or pigments being employed may not be of direct relevance to their use. Examples of functional colorant utilisation include, but are not restricted to: chromic materials whose appearance changes in response to a stimulus, such as light, heat, electrical current, pressure, etc.; construction of devices for solar power generation, organic electronics and displays; components in information technologies like photonics and data storage; therapeutic use in treating cancer or infections; probes in biomedicine and forensic science; photocatalytic additives and photosensitisers; security marking for authentication or validation. Aesthetic uses of colorants that are within scope extends from coloration of textiles, coatings, plastics, paper, ceramics, architectural materials, food, cosmetics, hair and fur, through to less conventional applications, such as prosthetics and dental implants.
Chemicals; Theory and practice of ancillary processes:
These subject areas cover materials used in the processing of substrates prior to coloration, such as bleaching agents, or following coloration, like finishes. Papers submitted in this area must include some element relating to impact on substrate colour properties. Influence over substrate colour prior to coloration is considered relevant as determined, for example, by whiteness index, yellowness index or colorimetric co-ordinates.
Analysis and testing:
In addition to describing developments in the assessment of colorants and ancillary materials before, during, and after their application, activities within this field include the analysis of coloured objects and colorants of historical interest, in addition to the conservation of coloured materials.
