| Abstract: | The physical and morphological characteristics of never-dried cotton, cotton dried under controlled conditions and nature-dried cotton have been examined. On drying in nature, the never-dried cotton fibres get transformed into a convoluted, bean-shaped and collapsed structure from the state of unconvoluted, tubular structure with circular cross-section. In this process, the physical characteristics of cotton could be improved over the nature-dried cotton by drying the cotton under controlled conditions. The effectiveness of different methods of drying in retaining the physical characteristics of cotton in the never-dried state lies in the following order: never-dried cotton > freeze-dried cotton > cotton dried by solvent exchange> cotton dried at 300oC > cotton dried at 100oC > cotton dried at 25°C > nature-dried cotton. |
