Abstract

The emergence of smart materials has an effective impact on finding new technical approaches to creating contemporary textiles with a renewed intellectual vision to take advantage of technological progress in the textile industry in general and the clothing industry in particular, which will contribute to the production of advanced clothing artworks using materials of modern smart technology (Glow yarn). Two types of fabrics were used (100% polyester, polyester-cotton (65% - 35%) and were dyed using Phosphorescent dye, with colors (yellow-orange - phosphorous green - lemon) and tests were conducted to estimate color stability for each of (washing - friction - perspiration) – light) and color depth test (k/s). The sample of 100% polyester fabric dyed with phosphorescent dye gave the highest values ​​of color depth test results (k/s)) with a value of (11,57), while the sample of polyester-cotton (65% - 35%) dyed with phosphorescent dye gave the lowest values of color depth test results k/ s)) with a value of (3.80), and samples of 100% polyester fabric dyed with phosphorescent dye recorded the highest values of the stability test results (washing - friction - sweat - light). This confirms the possibility of dying.
