Abstract
DERIVATIONS of the differential heat of sorption of dry textile fibres (ΔH0) from measurements of heat of wetting have yielded values which are approximately equal for the cellulosic fibres (c. 250–300 cal./gm.). This has been taken to imply that the type of reaction, that is, hydroxyl bonding with water, is similar for all cellulosic fibres, and that varying hygroscopicity is dependent on the relative amount of material within the fibre which is available for moisture sorption1–4.
