The aim of this research was to embed silica-kaolinite on a cotton surface using succinic acid (SA) as a cross-linking agent and sodium hypophosphite (SHP) as a catalyst. The influence of inorganic particles on the performance of the cellulose fiber was investigated using Attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA), scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX), water contact angle (WCA) and reflectance spectroscopy (RS). ATR showed the possible interactions between silica, kaolinite, the cross-linking agent and cellulose functional groups on the surface. The results obtained from the thermal measurements demonstrated that the stabilized silica-kaolinite particles can significantly improve the thermal stability of the cotton fiber. This research suggests a successful method for stabilization and compatibility of various inorganic particles on cotton.
