Structure and determinants of fibre strength in native cotton

摘要

Literature on the current status of the supramolecular structure of native cotton fibre is briefly reviewed and discussed in the light of experimental data on physical properties and X-ray orientation parameters of the four cotton cultivars grown at different locations during 1992, 1994 and 1995 crop years in India. It is observed that the supramolecular structual pa- rameters and true spiral angles, frequency of extinction bands and the morphological structure such as convolution angles remain practically invariant for a variety with the change in location and latitude of the place of growth of cotton varieties.
