Abstract

A rapid dehydration procedure with acidified 2,2-dimethoxypropane (DMP) has been successfully applied to immature or wet cotton fibers. The ultrastructural integrity and fiber quality parameters such as cell wall area and perimeter of developing and mature cotton fibers were well-pre-served using this procedure as demonstrated by light, scanning and electron microscopy of whole fibers and cross-sections. Embedding in resin following DMP dehydration also prevented the collapse of the immature fibers due to drying of lumen.
