The swellability of fibers were determined quantitatively by the method proposed by the authors on the following nine kinds of sample:
1. Chlorite holocellulose treated with 0.08% NaOH solution [1 (H)]
2. 1 (H) frozen by alcohol-dry ice freezing mixture [2 (F)]
3. 1 (H) treated with ultra violet radiation [3 (UV)]
4. 1 (H) extracted with 6% NaOH solution [4 (NaOH)]
5. 2 (F) treated with ultra violet radiation [5 (F-UV)]
6. 2 (F) extracted with 6% NaOH solution [6 (F-NaOH)]
7. 4 (NaOH) treated with ultra violet radiation [7 (NaOH-UV)]
8. 4 (NaOH) frozen by alcohol-dry ice freezing mixture [8 (NaOH-F)]
9. 5 (F-UV) extracted with 6% NaOH solution [9 (F-UV-NaOH)]
The results showed that the conditions of outer layer of fibers, the amount of hemicellulose and the degree of polymerization of cellulose are very effective for the swellability of fibers.
