Abstract
The cottonseed linter or fuzz fiber is the short cellulosic fiber that is left after the staple cotton fiber is removed from the seed surface by ginning. Cottonseed linters differ essentially from cotton lint (normal length fibers) in length and to some extent morphology. X-ray evidence illustrates that both linters and lint are largely alpha cellulose with almost identical amounts of crystalline fractions. Elemental analysis and electron and light microscopic techniques have been used to reveal the differences and similarities between lint and linter fiber content and structure.
