| الوصف: | Broadband dielectric spectroscopy measurements were performed on naturally dried cotton cloth, and a recently developed analytical technique for fractal analysis of water structures was applied to obtain existential states and locations of water molecules in the material. Three relaxation processes observed in GHz, MHz, and kHz frequency regions were attributed to dynamic behaviors of hydrogen bonding networks (HBNs) of water and interacting molecules, polymer chains with interacting ion and water molecules, and ions restricted on the interfaces of larger structures, respectively. Water molecules were heterogeneously distributed in the cotton cloth, and the HBNs remained as a broad GHz frequency process. Fractal analysis suggested that water molecules distributed in the material were characterized by a small value (0.55) of the Cole–Cole relaxation time distribution parameter, indicating spatial distribution of HBN fragments with various sizes in cotton cloth. This result was also supported by the T2 relaxation time obtained from nuclear magnetic resonance for naturally dried cotton yarn. Comparing previous results of dielectric relaxation measurements and fractal analysis with the τ–β diagram for various aqueous systems, the results determined that water molecules cannot exist inside cellulose microfibrils. The fractal analysis employed in this work can be applied to dynamic water structures in any material. The presented analytical technique with a universal τ–β diagram is expected to be an effective tool to clarify water structure detail even for heterogeneous hydrations of the low water content substances.
