Abstract
X-ray structural analysis showed that both the crystallite content and the degree of perfection of their surface layer increase during dampening of cotton cellulose. The maximum structural ordering of cellulose is attained at a fibre moisture content ≥14.8%. The determining role of the absorption mechanism of dissolution of water in amorphous regions of cellulose is confirmed by a quantitative estimation of the X-ray diffuse scattering parameters for cotton with different moisture contents.
