AB  - PDMS compound was chosen as a molecule-model for investigating the diffusion of 
      silicon products into cotton bulk. The study demonstrates the suitability of 
      Confocal Raman microscopy (CRM) to monitor the distribution of 
      poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) molecules into cotton fibres. Different molecular 
      weights of PDMS compounds were used in two different solvents (water and hexane) 
      at various temperatures (25, 50 and 60 degrees C). The surfaces of the fibres were 
      studied with scanning electron microscopy and Confocal Raman microscopy was run 
      to detect the PDMS on the surface and in the bulk of treated fabrics. We 
      concluded that all PDMS compounds, irrespectively their molecular weights and the 
      silicon oil infiltrate into cotton fibre. The penetration is strongly dependent 
      on the solvent used. Water proved suitable for assisting the infiltration of low 
      and medium molecular weight PDMS, at elevated temperatures. High molecular weight 
      PDMS infiltrates better from hexane and at room temperature than from water.
