The degree of polymerization (DP) is the main factor which plays a role in cellulose aging. The adverse consequence of cellulose fibers aging is the deterioration of mechanical and optical properties. Viscometry is a technique which is frequently used for determination of degree of polymerization of cellulose fibers. The aim of the work was to determine the degree of polymerization of cotton fabrics and to investigate the dependence of DP on number of washing and dying. Next task was to investigate if there exists a corellation between DP and results from thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation studied by methods of thermal analysis. First, the traditional viscometry was employed to determine DP of cellulose fibers. It has been demonstrated that number of washing and dying decreases the DP. In the second part the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG) were used. DSC provided values of combustion heat and TG allowed the detail evaluation of degradation steps; obtained results were further used for correlation with DP. Methods of thermal analysis revealed differences between cotton wool and treated fabrics. Combustion heat did not show any correlation with DP. In contrast, results from TG suggested some promising correlations which could be used for the prediction of cotton fabrics DP using thermal analysis in the future.
