Comparative study of the properties of differently decrystallized and crosslinked cotton fibers

Commercially-available, bleached cotton fibers, rayon, and their hydroentangled counterparts were carboxymethylated to produce cellulosic products with increased absorbency. These cellulose materials were tested for absorbance, spectroscopic properties, degree of substitution and carding ability. Carboxymethylated fibers and hydroentangled webs exhibited increased water retention as the degree of substitution increased before losing fiber integrity and carding ability.

Triboelectric Nanogenerators

A comparative study of the electrical performance of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with plain- and 2/1 twill-woven cotton textiles was conducted. Furthermore, the microstructures of the cotton fiber surfaces were examined to understand the fundamental mechanical interaction among the cotton fibers in the TENGs. The TENG with 2/1 twill-woven cotton textiles exhibited higher output voltages compared to that with plain-woven cotton textiles. The difference in the output voltage between the two types of TENGs resulted from the difference in triboelectric charge generation between the constituent cotton textiles. The higher output voltage of the TENG with 2/1 twill-woven cotton textiles was attributed to the higher density in triboelectric interactions among the cotton fiber molecules.

Reactive Modification

Biquaternary ammonium salt CY and cationic surfactant DAB were investigated as pretreating agents for surface modification of cotton fibers. The measurement of zeta potential was used to indicate the effectiveness of the pretreatment. It was found that CY and DAB both largely enhanced the positive charge on cotton fibers following an increase in the pH. Adsorption studies of gardenia yellow dye on these pretreated cotton fibers showed that both CY and DAB enhance adsorption capacity of gardenia yellow dye on cotton fibers. The zeta potential results and adsorption studies revealed that the uptake of gardenia yellow dye on treated cotton fibers occurs via electrostatic attractions between the anion of the dye and cationic segments of the treated cotton fibers. The washing fastness and crocking fastness of the dyeings were improved after the pretreatments.
