Abstract

The application of X-ray fluorescence to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemically modified cotton textile materials is described. The scope and flexibility of the technique have permitted the determination of more than 20 elements with, greatly reduced elapsed time compared with the corresponding spectroscopic or wet methods. Precautions to be observed in preparing standards are discussed. Results of the analysis of typical modifications and their significance in the development of cottons for specific uses are described.
