abstract = "We have investigated the crosslinking effect of
unmercerised and mercerized cotton cellulose
crosslinked with different BTCA mass fractions in the
impregnation bath. Crosslinking efficiency was analysed
using FT-IR spectroscopy, water retention capacity
method, tensiometry and the methylene blue method. On
the basis of the experimental data which was obtained
with the separate physical-chemical methods, different
prediction models for crosslinking efficiency was
developed. Modelling was taken out with the genetic
programming method. Research shows good accordance of
the experimental data with the genetic models.",
