Course content
Natural dyes of plant and animal kingdoms and their significance, classification of natural dyes by occurrence and composition Carotenoids ( -Carotin, rubixanthin, lycopin, azafrin, bixin, crocetin, crocin), diaryloylmethane dyestuffs (curcumin, dimethoxycurcumin, bisdimethoxycurcumin) Benzoquinone dyes (polypor acid, atromentin, aurantiacin, grevilline, boviquinone, carthamin) Naphthoquinone dyes (lawson, lapachol, juglone, alkannine) Anthraquinone dyes (alizarin, chrysophanol, emodin, aloeemodin, physcionanthranol, pseudopurpurin, purpurin) Indigoid dyestuffs (indigo, indirubin, indican) Chromatographic methods Spectroscopic methods Historical and modern applications of natural dyes Dyes for silver-based photography, principles of spectral sensitisation, black-and-white, colour and infra-red photography Photochromic dyes Dyestuffs for conversion of solar energy Dyestuffs used in medicine Dyestuffs in molecular biology

Learning activities and teaching methods
Monologic (reading, lecture, briefing)
  • unspecified - 42 hours per semester
Learning outcomes
The student will recognize properties and production of dyestuffs for use in registration of information (information storage media), laser dyestuffs, dyestuffs for conversion of solar energy. He will concern with applications of dyes in medicine and molecular biology. The student will also learn relationships between structure of functional dyestuff and its utility value.
The student will know about natural dyes, and their chemical structures, and possibilities of technical applications.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of organic chemistry.
