John Richard Aspland honoured with AATCC award

The lifetime achievement AATTC (Association of Textile, Apparel and Materials Professionals), world’s leading non-profit association serving textile professionals since 1921) Award for outstanding achievement has been bestowed to John Richard ‘Dick’ Aspland in the field of textile chemistry.


Aspland’s research included a wide range of textile chemistry interests, including fluorescence of dyeing and laundered fabrics (bi-spectral-spectrometry) ; fastness properties of dyeing on novel polymers; implementation of novel shade sorting software for colour users from colour instrument manufacturers to apparel cutters; the influence of fibre, yarn and fabric parameters on the physical properties of coated fabrics; synthesis of isotopic tracers for studying diffusion in nylon dyeing; the effect of colour distribution on the colour appearance of yarns, fibres, and fabrics (mirco-spectrometry); and the interactions between pigment particles and polymers.

 

Aspland has been active in textile chemistry for more than 50 years as a, researcher, and educator in academia and industry. His book ‘Textile Dyeing and Colouration’ published by AATCC in 1997, has been used as a premier literature on dyeing. Aspland and his former student, Ann Laidlaw, together published the AATCC ‘Colour Guidebook’ in 2011. He has published more than 145 articles in journals and in conference proceedings, three peer-reviewed book chapters, and holds two patents. 


He is an AATCC member since 1971, and has received the AATCC Harold C. Chapin Award for services to AATCC in 1999. In 2005, he was bestowed with the AATCC William J Weaver Paer of the Year Award for his contributions to textile science literature. He also received the Award for Faculty Excellence in 2000 and 2002 from the Clemson University Board of Trustees. He is also a member of the Inter-Society Colour Council and the Fibre Society.
