Features: This book introduces the structure, properties, and product development of natural colored cotton, primarily divided into two parts: fundamental and applied. The fundamental part elaborates on the formation and cultivation, morphological structure, ultra-microstructure, physicochemical properties, and the formation and characteristics of pigments of natural colors, with comparisons to ordinary white cotton. The applied part introduces spinning, weaving, and finishing methods for several colored cotton products based on their characteristics. To provide quality assurance for natural colored cotton products, the latter part of the book discusses reference standards and environmental evaluation of colored cotton products, showcasing the development prospects of colored cotton products. The book cites a large amount of experimental data and includes color illustrations. It serves as a reference for agricultural, textile, and dyeing professionals and university teachers and students, as well as for those involved in the cultivation and processing of natural colored cotton.
