摘要：Treatment of cotton with chitosan has gained popularity as the treatment has improved the physical and chemical characteristics of the fabric. However, different application methods were employed for pre treatment of cotton with chitosan. Hence a study was undertaken to study the impact of chitosan on cotton as a surface modifying agent with reference to dye ability of fabric. Treatment with chitosan was performed in three methods; on weight of fabric weight by volume and volume by volume concentration and the treatment methods were evaluated based on the acquired stiffness and colour strength dyed with reactive dye.
