Abstract

Wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) recordings were carried out on raw Dharwar cotton fibres available in Karnataka. Using this data and employing linked atom least squares (LALS) method, we report here the molecular and crystal structure of these cotton fibres. Employing structural data, we have computed elastic moduli tensor components of these fibres. From these investigations, it turns out that the intrinsic strains present in the fibre arise due to hydrogen bonds and not covalent bonds, which is a significant result.
