Effects of moisture
Moisture swells the fibre and has the effect of increasing the strength of the cotton; however prolonged exposure to moisture increases the chances of microbial attack on the fibre which leads to a decrease in strength.
Chemical resistance
Cotton is attacked by hot dilute or cold concentrated acid solutions.
Acid hydrolysis of cellulose produce hydro-celluloses.
Cold weak acids do not affect the cotton.
The fibres show excellent resistance to alkalis.
Degradation
Cotton is degraded mainly by the hydrolysis effect of acids.
Effect of temperature
In a dry state, cotton can be heated up to 150 degrees Celsius without decomposing but when the heating is prolonged, a brown colour develops, signaling the onset of decomposition.
