When cotton fiber, which is almost entirely cellulose, is subject to a temperature of about 450 degrees F?
Tee Blue

what chemical reaction occurs? What gases are evolved?


Depends if oxygen is present. If oxygen present, there will be a combustion reaction, and form CO2 and H2O

If no oxygen, the cotton might pyrolise. I don't know exactly what is formed but my guesses would be O2, CO, CO2, H2O, H2, CH4, C2H4, C2H6. These guesses are low-energy species based on the elements present in cellulose.

What is the difference between Cotton Yarn and Cotton fiber?
handwoven fabric



The fiber is the finest, tiniest strand that you see within the yarn itself. The fibers are treated and spun together to make up the yarn. The yarns are woven/knit together to make fabric.

If you liken the fiber question to human hair then one single strand of hair on your head would be considered a fiber. If the hair were braided the braid would be considered a yarn.

Which fiber shrinks more, cotton or polyester?
Handwoven fabric

I have a shirt that is almost brand new (its been worn once) and I washed/dryed it and now its alot smaller than it was new. Its made out of cotton and polyester. I believe the blend is 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Which causes more shrinkage? Needless to say, I can't really wear it comfortably now. Thanks.

    Remaining crop acres await harvest decisions

    By Bonnie Coblentz
    MSU Ag Communications

    MISSISSIPPI STATE -- Many acres of Mississippi crops remain in the fields, but by mid-November, most of what is left will have no market value and will not be harvested.

    Nearly all the state’s corn crop was harvested by Nov. 8, but large percentages of the other row crops were still in the fields. Historically, harvest of the state’s corn, cotton, soybeans, rice, sorghum and sweet potato crops is complete by late October to early November.

    This year, fall rains kept producers out of fields for nearly a month, and only corn farmers were able to get the bulk of their crop harvested on time. Harvest on what was left began again in earnest the first week of November.

    Irresistable Han-Fic - Faded-Sixteen

    Without Taylor’s presence the king size bed felt huge and looming. Though at first, the emptiness was not unwelcome. I stretched out my arms and legs, rooting myself under the thick comforter and pressing my head against the pillow. Letting out a sigh, I rolled over and fished around for a better spot. His side of the bed was cold and I switched to that one for awhile. My nose dug against his pillow and I could smell the scent of him lingering in the cotton fiber, the aromas wrapped tightly around the fibers and reminding me of him. Soapy and spicy, with a hint of sweet. Again, I couldn’t find comfort and tossed myself over to the other side of the bed to start over, flipping and flopping, tossing and turning, seeking a comfortable spot where I might finally find rest…. But the search was fruitless. Glancing at the clock, I realized the bed had been half-empty now for almost an hour.
