Abstract
"Catalytic damage" occurs in cotton fabrics during hydrogen peroxide bleaching. The model for catalytic damage proposed previously by Meyer, Kokot, Weber, and Zürcher is compared with a laboratory simulation of cotton cellulose damage produced using electrogenerated oxygen species at metal electrodes. Additional electrochemical information is provided to support the previously proposed mechanism of the damage of a cotton poplin. Diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy and chemometrics are used for relative qualitative and quantitative interpretation of the damage.
