Whiteness improvement of citric acid crosslinked cotton fabrics by sodium hydrosulfite bleaching

Citric acid (CA)-crosslinked cotton fabrics show a yellowish appearance because CA forms C=C bonds during the heating process. The whiteness was improved by sodium hydrosulfite (Na2S2O4), which was confirmed by the Fourier transform infrared spectra. The computational calculations showed that Na2S2O...
