S. Kokot et S. Stewart, AN EXPLORATORY-STUDY OF MERCERIZED COTTON FABRICS BY DRIFT SPECTROSCOPY AND CHEMOMETRICS, Textile research journal, 65(11), 1995, pp. 643-651
Diffuse reflectance infrared spectra of differently mercerized cotton
poplin fabrics are interpreted with the aid of fuzzy clustering and mu
ltivariate chemometrics methods (PCA and SIMCA). Fuzzy clustering anal
ysis of spectra from blank, slack, and stretch mercerized samples show
s that three clusters can be identified, and this conclusion is suppor
ted by the PCA display method and SIMCA classification. Spectra from s
lack mercerized samples, treated at three different temperatures, are
also readily discriminated by the same three chemometrics methods.
