Poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) and bovine serum albumin (BSA) were investigated as pretreating agents for surface modification of the cotton fibres. The measurement of zeta potential was initially used to indicate the effectiveness of the pretreatment. It was found that the PEI largely developed the posi...
