No. Mercerized cotton is more absorbant. Mercerising results in the swelling of the cell wall of the cotton fibre. This increases the surface area and reflectance, giving the fiber a softer feel and, if the fiber is held under tension, producing a shiny surface. Due to the increased surface area, mercerised cotton will absorb 7-8% more than unmercerised cotton. The process was originally developed to make cotton more readily absorb dye.
