The surface chemical composition of raw unscoured cotton was successfully investigated by
the surface analytical techniques X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and Time of …

Raw cotton and flax fibers and fabrics contain noncellulosic components such as waxes,
pectins, proteins, and hemicelluloses, and major parts of these components are located on …

Surface characteristics of modified cotton fibers have been studied using electrokinetic
analysis (EKA), inverse gas chromatography (IGC) and dynamic contact angle (DCA) …

Cotton and linen fibers were ground in a ball-mill, and the effect of grinding on the
microstructure and surface properties of the fibers was determined by combining a couple of …

Adsorption of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as a method to introduce charged (ionizable)
groups onto cellulose cotton fibre surfaces was investigated. The method was based on …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of selective oxidation on the surface
properties of cotton cellulose fibres. Four different methods to evaluate the accessibility …

In x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), knowledge of elemental depth distributions
within the first 10 nm is often essential. However, none of the conventional XPS methods can …

Alcoholic alkali solutions, such as potassiumt‐butoxide int‐butanol and potassium hydroxide
in ethanol, have been known to remove the covalently bound lipid from the wool fibre …

The adsorption of chitosan onto cellulose cotton fibers introduces antimicrobial properties,
mainly created by the amount and location of amino groups. Therefore, it is important to be …

The theme of the thesis was to link together the research aspects of cellulose occurring in
nature (in natural wood fibres) and model surfaces of cellulose. Fundamental changes in …
