Abstract
Two sets of cotton fabrics—one consisting of different types of fabric and the other of a fabric sampled sequentially during its normal processing stages—were investigated by DRIFT spectroscopy. The band assignments were consistent with previous work but, in general, the spectra could not be differentiated on visual examination. However, they were successfully qualitatively and quantitatively distinguished with the use of chemometrics; a chemical basis for fabric clustering was also indicated. This approach is a significant improvement on previously reported work with KBr disk IR sampling.
