This revised and up-dated second edition provides a current
insight into how the fundamental principles of the chemistry of
colour are applied in dyes and pigments. The text has been
expanded and re-written throughout, while largely maintaining the
structure of the first edition. In particular, the chapter on
functional dyes has been substantially re-written to embrace the
significant developments in chemistry and technology that this
area has experienced in the last decade. As industry and society
have become increasingly sensitive towards environmental issues,
the chapter describing how the colour industry has been
responding is expanded to reflect this growing importance. A new
chapter is introduced on colour in cosmetics, with particular
emphasis on hair dyes, reflecting the growing international,
industrial significance of this topic. This chapter is co-written
with Dr Olivier Morel.

Colour Chemistry will be of interest to academics and
industrialists who are specialists in colour science or who have
involvement with the diverse range of coloured materials, for
example traditional application in textiles, paints, printing
inks, plastics and cosmetics, and functional applications in
electronics and biology. Broad and balanced in its coverage, this
book provides an introduction to the chemistry of colour that is
ideal for students, graduates and those in industry and academia
seeking an introduction to the topic.
