Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) was used to determine adsorption isotherms and isosteric heats of adsorption for several normal alkanes on a number of intact textile fibers and to determine the specific surface areas of these fibers. Surface areas obtained by IGC were in excellent agreement (except for cotton) with those calculated from the geometric dimensions of circular cross-section fibers and with those obtained by the adsorption of krypton. Heats of adsorption were found to be only slightly higher than the corresponding heats of liquefaction of the probes. The effect of fiber surface purity on adsorption behavior as well as computerized data reduction are briefly discussed.
