About this document
Tensile Strength of Alkali-Treated Cotton is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The study investigates the tensile properties of cotton fibers treated with various alkali metal hydroxides, revealing that 5N KOH treatment results in higher tenacity compared to 5N LiOH or NaOH. The authors suggest that breaking load, rather than tenacity, should be used to assess strength due to the influence of crystallite length and orientation on fiber performance. The findings indicate that the treatment conditions significantly affect the fine structure and mechanical properties of the cotton fibers
