This work has investigated the morphology, chemical structure and UV absorption properties of cottonseed hull and kernel, as part of an assessment of these materials for use as potential UV absorbing and/or medical compounds. The morphological analysis of the samples revealed that cottonseed kernel has a porous and homogenous morphology. By compari...

... the electron micrographs, it was found that there were fine fibres on the outer layer of the hull. The hull outer layer looks more irregular and heterogeneous (Figure 2a and Figure 2b). However, the inner side has a smoother surface than the outer side and there were no fibres (Figure 2c and Figure2d). ...
