Cotton fabric was chemically modified with a 1,3,5‐triazine derivative containing multireactive and multicationic groups, 2,4,6‐tri[(2‐hydroxy‐3‐trimethyl‐ammonium)propyl]‐1,3,5‐triazine chloride (Tri‐HTAC). The morphological structures of net‐modified cotton cellulose were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry, X‐ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that crystallinity and preferred orientation of net‐modified cellulose decreased. The tensile strength of net‐modified cotton decreased and crease recovery angle increased. The thermal stability of the net‐modified cotton was slightly improved. Representative scanning electron micrographs indicated that there appears to be appreciable difference in the appearance of the surfaces of the unmodified and the net‐modified cotton fibers. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
