Abstract
⺠Cellulosic fabric was swelled by UV-irradiation for different time intervals (λ = 254 nm). ⺠The cellulose fabric was also swelled by applying conventional mercerization technique. ⺠The UV irradiated and mercerized cellulosic fibers were dyed using direct dyes. ⺠SEM analysis confirmed the rate of swelling of the cellulosic fiber in either of the treatment. ⺠The mercerized cellulosic fabrics have shown better tear and tensile strength as compared to the UV irradiated one.
