Textile Preparation and Dyeing
Technically, hot mercerisation is carried out at 70-1 00°C for 4-60 seconds which
leads to a uniform high swelling of cotton fibres with a softer feel. One process of
hot mercerisation is to saturate cotton piece goods in caustic lye (50-58°Tw) for ...

Chemistry of the Textiles Industry
8.5 Mercerisation In 1850 John Mercer discovered that cotton immersed in
sodium hydroxide swelled and shrank. The alkali treatment converts the fibre's
crystalline structure from cellulose I to the cellulose II form (see section 1.2.1.2).

Natural and Wood Fibre Reinforcement in Polymers
3.2.3 Mercerisation An old method of cellulose fibre modification is mercerisation,
it has been widely used on cotton textiles. Mercerisation is an alkali treatment of
cellulose fibres which depends on the type and concentration of the solution, ...

Textile Chemicals: Environmental Data and Facts
Recovery of caustic soda from mercerisation process [273] During the
mercerisation process, cotton yarn or fabric (mainly woven fabric but also knit
fabric) is treated under tension in a solution of concentrated caustic soda (270-
300 g NaOH/l ...

Handbook of Textile and Industrial Dyeing: Principles, ...
The uniformity, purity and brilliancy of the shades are also higher due to the
change of optical properties of the fibre by mercerisation. The dyes on
mercerised materials are faster than those on unmercerised • materials. This is
probably due to ...

Properties and Performance of Natural-Fibre Composites
Mercerisation is one of the oldest methods of treating cellulose textile fibres. It
has been applied mostly to cotton textiles. At present there is also a tendency to
use mercerisation for the modification of cellulose fibres, which are going to be
used ...

Handbook of Natural Fibres: Processing and Applications
properties of the vegetable fibres can be improved significantly by the chemical
treatments that are commonly used for cotton. Treatments include the action of
alkalis (mercerisation), cross-linking, acetylation, cyanoethylation, as well as
dyeing ...

Process Control in Textile Manufacturing
15.8.1. Mercerisation. Mercerisation is a treatment that gives lustrous appearance
to a cotton fabric or a cotton thread. The process is applied to materials like cotton
and hemp. The process was devised in 1844 by John Mercer of Great ...

The European Polysaccharide Network of Excellence (EPNOE): ...
It is the discoveries of the viscose process where a cellulose derivative is
dissolved in NaOH–water and of mercerisation that were the real starts of the use
of NaOH in the cellulose industry. In three instances, groups of researchers tried
later ...

A Text Book of Fibre Science and Technology
The changes that take place during mercerisation is a physical one, though there
is some chemical change. Solvated dipole hydrates form in this alkali
concentration. The hydrate penetrates inside cotton fibre. Two to three hydrated
molecule ...
