Abstract
A study is reported of 24 cotton varieties belonging to the Gossypium arboreum species with respect to their fibre-bundle strength and crystallite-orientation parameters. From the correlation studies of these two parameters, it is conclusively shown that the Hermans crystallite-orientation factor, which acts as an integrated index, is superior to any other orientation parameter, such as the 40% and 50% X-ray angles. It is also demonstrated that, when inter-species interaction is taken into account, the X-ray angles show deterioration in their correlation coefficients with bundle strength, whereas the Hermans orientation factor still retains its superiority. It is therefore concluded that the Hermans crystallite-orientation factor is the best index for the characterization of cotton fibres for strength.
