← HistoryWhich outcome results when Byzantine silk dyeing baths experienced excessive heat?
A)Reduced dye uptake efficiency✓
B)Increased silk fiber strength
C)Faster dye hydrolysis rate
D)Enhanced colorfastness properties
💡 Explanation
Reduced dye uptake occurs because elevated temperatures increase the rate of dye aggregation via the colloidal instability mechanism, therefore dyes precipitate out of solution rather than binding effectively, leading to uneven coloration rather than vibrant saturated hues.
