A Solid-State Pathway towards the Tunable Carboxylation of Cellulosic Fabrics: Controlling the Surface’s Acidity
We report on a tunable solid-state approach to modify the acidity of cotton substrates using citric, oxalic, and fumaric acids. The first stage of the method involves soaking the cotton swatches in an ethanolic saturated solution of the corresponding acid. After drying, the carboxylation reaction pr...
