1. Magnetic fields as the means for regulating interparticle interactions in
dyeing and finishing compositions.
The influence of steady magnetic fields has been investigated upon
the state of dyes (both water-soluble and insoluble) and surfactants in the solutions
applied in textile dyeing and finishing,
sorption capacity of cellulose fibrous materials,
plasticizing and diffusion permeability of thermoplastic fibers.
Significant effect of the magnetic fields on the above-mentioned characteristics was
experimentally confirmed. The possibility of achieving several desirable effects in dyeing
and finishing textiles was demonstrated. This is based on :
the stimulation of association and aggregation of electrolytes in aqueous solutions,
exposed to magnetic fields;
the increase in solvation of hydrotropic organic compounds;
the changes in the conditions of chemical mass-transfer and in the kinetics of some
chemical processes.
All the conclusions have been comprehensively tested by introducing magnetic treatment into various dyeing and finishing technologies on textile plants within Russia.

2. Influence of weak magnetic fields of hyperlow and audio frequencies on electrolyte solutions, microheterigenic, and biological systems
Reception (absorption without transformation into heat fluctuations) of alternating magnetic field energy by aqueous electrolyte solutions has been observed. Energy reception is possible due to the low amplitude of applied magnetic field. Changes in the state of electrolyte solutions are measured by chronopotentiometric, conductometric, inverse potentiodynamic, and impedance methods. Abnormally high adsorption of alkali metal cations and aminoacids on the surface of platinum electrode indicates that the influence of weak low-frequency magnetic field is mainly concentrated on the phase boundary. This may be a possible explanation of the high sensitivity of such microheterogenic systems as microorganism populations and mammal blood cells towards their treatment by weak magnetic fields.
The efforts of the group are principally directed to achieving insight into the
mechanisms of this effect and answering the following questions:
what are the
mechanisms of low-frequency field energy reception by aqueous solutions, of secondary
field irradiation and of energy transfer between magnetic field and treated medium;
what is the
nature of changes caused by low-frequency magnetic fields in physico-chemical and
structural properties of solutions, and in the parameters of sorption and in the diffusion
properties taking place at the boundaries "air - solution", "metal -
solution", "textile material - solution", "biocell shell -
solution".
Using the data obtained, new original methods for regulating the vital functions of
microorganisms (applied for producing fermentative preparations for biochemical
pretreatment of textile fibers) are being developed.
