Dr. Seshadri Ramkumar and his team at the Institute of Environmental and Human Health at Texas Tech University leveraged the absorbent capabilities of cotton to create the Fibertect wipe that can absorb and neutralize gases and liquids that might be used in chemical warfare. The process has received a patent and has been validated for use as a low-cost decontamination wipe for the U.S. military.
Hake concludes, "For six millennia cotton has been essentially a source of textile fiber, but these creative organizations are evolving the use of cotton and, in the process, its future."
Cotton Incorporated, funded by U.S. growers of upland cotton and importers of cotton and cotton textile products, is the research and marketing company representing upland cotton. The Program is designed and operated to improve the demand for and profitability of cotton.
