Abstract

This study is devoted to the investigation of specific properties of cotton fibers that may change during technological processing and under the influence of special aqueous solutions. The results obtained allow the hypothesis that the sorption properties of cotton fiber can improve due to changes in its external appearance, caused by internal structural changes – specifically, the transition of the fiber’s flattened inner channel to a more cylindrical shape. The study showed that during liquid treatments, the external form and surface of cellulose fibers change, accompanied by an increase in internal volume, which enhances their adsorption and sorption properties. These findings can improve the effectiveness of final finishing processes, reduce the consumption of finishing agents, and decrease wastewater pollution.
