      6. <skos:note xml:lang="en">Treatment of cotton yarn or fabric by immersion in a caustic solution of sodium hydroxide or other chemical base. Fibers so treated swell permanently, and the cotton is made stronger and more lustrous. Named after Alexander Mercer (1791-1866), who perfected the process.</skos:note>
