| Abstract: | The effect of non-conventional scouring treatment (NST), using exclusively
non-ionic surfactant, on the properties of cotton fibres of different species
has been studied. It is observed that
for the treated G. arboreum, G. barbadense, G. herbeceum and G. hirsutum the sinking
time remains within the standard limits. No significant effect on uniformity
ratio is observed for all the samples except for G. herbeceum. A
decrease in 2.5% span length is recorded with all species, except with G.
herbeceum. The species G. arboreum and G. hirsutum show an increase in micronaire values
while G. herbaceum shows a
decrease in the value. The % elongation decreases for G. arboreum
and G herbeceum. SEM micrographs also suggest that the NST method can be
conveniently used for different species of cotton. |
