Absorbent Properties of Carboxymethylated Fiber, Hydroentangled Nonwoven and Regenerated Cellulose: A Comparative Study

Michael Easson, Andres Villalpando, Brian D. Condon

Abstract

Commercially-available, bleached cotton fibers, rayon, and their hydroentangled counterparts were carboxymethylated to produce cellulosic products with increased absorbency. These cellulose materials were tested for absorbance, spectroscopic properties, degree of substitution and carding ability. Carboxymethylated fibers and hydroentangled webs exhibited increased water retention as the degree of substitution increased before losing fiber integrity and carding ability.
