Hydrophobic nature of the staple cotton is due to the presence of non-cellulosic substances such as waxes, pectins, proteins, which share approximate 10 % part and rest 90 % is cellulose. The adsorbent cotton shows the hydrophilic nature, which is achieved by the alkaline treatment of the staple cotton.
