Abstract
Samples of dialdehyde cotton yarns and fabrics have been reduced with sodium boro hydride to dialcobol cotton and subsequently treated with sodium hydroxide solutions. Pronounced improvements in breaking strengths resulted from the alkali treatments; the yarn strengths for dialcohol cotton were raised from the range of dialdehyde cotton to substantially the level of the untreated yarns. Several levels of oxidation and caustic concentrations were studied.
