SynopsisThe parallel between fibers and metals is discussed in terms of their behavior upon heat treatment, crystallite size and orientation, and diffusion of atoms and molecules. It is pointed out that the degree of crystallinity employed to interpret the x-ray diffraction patterns of fibers is not an important physical parameter. The need for critical study of the mechanism of the growth of primary and secondary walls is stressed for a better understanding of the physical properties of fibers. Reference is made to Hosemann's theory of paracrystals which will help to resolve the "open" problems in polymer physics.

SYNOPSISIn the present investigation, we have made a systematic study of the induced crystallization in never-dried cotton fiber, by allowing it to desiccate under different conditions of humidity and temperature. The resulting structural changes have been followed using x-ray diffraction and infrared absorption techniques. A slow rate of drying coupled with a high temperature was more conducive for maximum crystallization. Analysis of the effect of temperature on the induced crystallization showed possible existence of a thermal transition in cellulose around 3OOC. The induced crystallization brought about by slow drying as well as those produced using intercrystalline swelling agents, have been shown to be resulting from a proper channelization of the interfibrillar mobility existing in the never-dried fibers.* Part of the results reported here were presented as poster in Session 9 "Crystallisation Phenomena"
