Polycarboxylic acids have been used as crosslinking agents for cotton fabrics and paper to replace the traditional formaldehyde-based reagents. Previously, we found that a polycarboxylic acid esterifies cotton cellulose through the formation of a five-membered cyclic anhydride intermediate. Both mal
