The NB-CH composite was made using a 0.005 M solution of Nile blue NB and a 7 solution of chitosan. To do this, a mixture of Nile blue and Chitosan with the ratio of 2:1 was prepared. The electrocatalytic oxidation of uric acid UA has been studied on glassy carbon electrode by NB-CH using electrochemical techniques. The NB-CH electrode showed one pair of peaks in 0.5 M KHSO4 as a supporting electrolyte. The catalytic currents are linearly related to UA concentrations in the ranges of 3×10-5 to 1.8×10-4 M and limit of detection 1.2 ×10-6 M with surface coverage of 2 ×10-8 mol cm-2.}, keywords = {Nile blue,Chitosan,Dye,glassy carbon electrode,Uric Acid}, url = {https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_75849.html}, eprint = {https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_75849_7443fa3ce0e0436a7a8f7df01547e2aa.pdf} } @article { author = {Jafari, R. and Amirshahi, S.

In the next step, observers are asked to define their blackness preference for blacks with different L values. Results show that while there are some neutral black fabrics, observers mostly prefer bluish-cyanish blacks. Besides, samples with the higher values of lightness and chroma are not preferred by observers especially if their hue angles lie in the first quarter of the hue area, i.e., 0-90o. Meanwhile, samples with the lowest lightness values are not preferred by most of observers because of their high chroma values. This achievement proves that lightness is not the only colorimetric attributes which influences on blackness preference.}, keywords = {Blackness preference,Lightness,Black,Visual assessment}, url = {https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_75844.html}, eprint = {https://pccc.icrc.ac.ir/article_75844_9e0e66415f55ba18e4ebdadeb9b9b389.pdf} } @article { author = {Patil, P. and Wasif, A.I and Anekar, S.V and Nagla, J.R.}, title = {Butea frondosa flower dye extraction optimization through Taguchi design}, journal = {Progress in Color, Colorants and Coatings}, volume = {8}, number = {1}, pages = {25-35}, year = {2014}, publisher = {Institute for Color Science and Technology (ICST)}, issn = {2008-2134}, eissn = {2383-1790}, doi = {10.30509/pccc.2014.75847}, abstract = {In the past few decades, there is increasing trend to use products from natural resources.

The results indicated that 150 micron particle size, 1:20 solid-solvent ratio, two hours for extraction and enzyme addition as assistance for extraction were the optimum conditions for extraction.
