Cotton Science and Processing Technology

Part of the book series: Textile Science and Clothing Technology ((TSCT))

Abstract

Textiles are among the paramount universally used fabrics in homes and industries. However, the acquisition of scalable and eco-friendly multi-functional fabrics of high durability presents as an obstacle challenging their commercialization. The surface modification of textile fabrics, such as cotton, to integrate multiple operates has been recently researched as the primary solution. Cotton is part of the topmost omnipresent and expansively used fabric owed to its inexpensiveness, obtainability, breathability, and biodegradability. It is also a hydrophilic cellulose-based fiber with negatively charged hydroxyl functional groups that can be easily modified with different polymers or small chemical agents for advanced applications. In this chapter, therefore, we shall deeply describe the cotton structure, and highlight the different reaction mechanisms and techniques applied for modification of cotton fibers and fabrics, using various modification agents for diverse applications.
