Abstract
Impurities, such as oil, waxes, pectins, proteins and and natural
colouring-matter have to be removed from raw cotton during the preparation
stages (scouring and bleaching) for subsequent dyeing and for any other wet
processing treatments that follow. In order to develope novel enzymatic
process for preparation of cotton-containing fabric, changes in chemical and
physical surface properties of cotton fiber were followed according to
conventional processing by using various analytical methods. Results on
chemical compositions, ESCA and TOF-Sims analysis of cotton fabrics
originating from different preparation stages will be presented.
