Glycidol vapor was reacted with unmodified cotton, carboxymethylated (CM) cotton, diethylaminoethylated (DEAE) cotton, and aminized cotton in a heated vacuum oven. The glycidol was either reagent grade or was generated during the reaction by heating glycerine carbonate or a mixture of propylene carbonate and glycerine. Both wet and conditioned (dry) wrinkle recoveries of CM or DEAE cottons were substantially improved.
