Abstract
This paper deals with changes in the circularity of cotton fibers when slick- mercerized and under different tensions in various concentrations of caustic soda. The percent increase in circularity depends on the circularity of the raw cotton. The Adder ley method for determining the circularity can give fairly reliable results for purposes of comparison.
