Abstract: The structural and morphological features of cotton yarn pretreated with trichloroacetic acid methylene chloride (TCAMC) reagent under slack condition at room temperature have been studied and the stress-strain behaviour of the treated yarn analysed. Modification of cotton due to TCAMC treatment results in significant increase in tensile strength and noticeable increase in elongation. The extent of modification depends on the concentration of the reagent and the treatment time. The probable reasons for improvement in tensile properties are discussed. It has been found that the changes effected by the TCAMC treatment enhance the abrasion resistance of yarn. SEM examination reveals that the treated yarn possesses some characteristic features.
