Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the preparation of reactive cyclodextrins, in which process the cyclodextrins CD are reacted with a bifunctional alkyl compound X—(CH2)n—Y, wherein X is a group which reacts with CD, n is an integer from 2 to 20 and Y is a group which reacts with a group Z or is a group-Reactive which is capable of reaction with cellulosic or proteinic materials and, optionally, in a further step, insofar as Y is a group which reacts with a group Z, the resulting product is reacted with a reactive anchor compound Z-Reactive to form the reactive cyclodextrin, and also to reactive cyclodextrins prepared in accordance therewith, to materials dressed therewith and to the use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for treating of textile substrates with a supercritical fluid. The textile substrates are formed as spools of yarn or rolled webs, and the supercritical fluid flows over and/or through them substantially perpendicular to their spool or winding axis. At that, the treatment temperature assumes different values during the treatment period. It is provided that during the treatment period, the treatment temperature values are set by at least two functions of the treatment time, and that the supercritical fluid is conditioned differently at the time the following function takes effect.

Abstract: Dyeing polyester textile material with disperse dyes from supercritical CO.sub.2 gives stronger dyeings by carrying out the subsequent pressure reduction in a plurality of steps.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for measuring the velocity and/or length of endless webs of textile goods are described. The textile web is irradiated with a light beam of which one deflects a first portion prior to impinging on the surface of the textile web and one directs the deflected light beam to evaluation means. The light beams reflected from the surface of the textile web are directed through a convex lens and are also directed to the evaluation means so that the corresponding light beams are superimposed. The velocity and/or the length of the web of textile goods are determined from the frequency of the interference formed by the superposition of the light beams.
