Previous work on the morphology of naturally coloured green suggested than that the secondary wall of the fibres consists of alternate layers of cellulose and a waxy organic substance called suberin. The work described in this paper has shown that modern varieties of green cotton do contain a large proportion of suberin. Data front fibre swelling is consistent with alternate layers of suberin and cellulose in the secondary wall. The naturally coloured fibres have a lower tenacity and work of rupture than conventional white fibres although they have an acceptable level of textile properties. The crystallinity of the coloured fibres is lower than for white cotton, but the cellulose has the cellulose I structure, normally found in cotton. |
