Abstract: | Originally absorbent cotton was developed for the purpose of medical use. At present absorbent cotton is used for sanitary use and n surgical operation as well as for ordinary daily living. Absorbent cotton is a material which comes in direct contact with the human body, so the quality of absorbent cotton is provided for in the pharmacopoeia of advanced countries. The Pharmacopoeia of Japan describes absorbent cotton as "the de oiled and bleached tuft of the seed of the cultivated variety of Malvaceae family of plants." The fibre of absorbent cotton is very elastic; it consists of 98- 99.5% a-cellulose which has a diameter of 16-30p and a length of 12-40 mm. The colour of absorbent cotton is not pure white; when piled one upon another, the overlap has a slightly yellowish white colour. |
