Abstract
Tensile strength and damage of cotton fibres could be assessed by making use of light microscopy. In essence, a solution was prepared consisting of ZnCl2 (100g.), KI (32 G.), water (34 Ml) and l2 (till saturation) . This solution was used as a swelling agent for cotton during microscopic examination. Differences in numbers, shape, size, and sequences of beads of the secondary wall as well as the shape of the primary wall have been taken to predict, (a) magnitude of damage, (b) location of damage,(c) kind of damage, whether chemical or mechanical (d) maturity of fibre, and (e) tensile strength.
