Cotton is one of the main members of the cellulose fibre family. With the advent of technology and research, members of the cellulose family are increasing. Some of the examples of recently developed cellulose fibres are hemp, banana, and ramie. These fibres are usually blended with cotton to provide some unique properties. At present, no standard method is available to quantify these fibres in a blend. In the present study, moisture regains properties of fibres were used to quantify the blend ratio of cotton and hemp fibers. Various fibre ratios were used to blend the fibres. The presence of these fibres in the blend was identified using FTIR spectral study. Under various humidity and temperature conditions, the moisture regains of these blends was determined with the standard test method. A calibration curve was plotted between blend percentage of fibres and corresponding moisture regain. Based on the calibration curve, the blend ratio of unknown cotton-hemp blends was determined.
