A study on distension index (DI) and distribution of crosslinks is reported for cotton cellulose treated with selected swelling reagents and crosslinked by different processes with formaldehyde. Details of estimation of the distension index are also described. Distribution of crosslinks under different conditions of crosslinking has also been shown by electron microscopy. Marked differences in DI values and distribution of crosslinks in cellulose samples crosslinked under different conditions of treatments are discussed. The results of these analysis provide quantitative information on the gross uniformity of distribution of crosslinkages in the fiber structure of cotton celluloses.
