Relationship by marriage; that is, the relationship between a husband and his wife's kindred, and between the wife and her husband's kindred. Affinity is distinguished into three kinds: direct, or that subsisting between the husband and his wife's relations by blood, or between the wife and the husband's relations by blood; secondary, or that which subsists between the husband's and his wife's relations by marriage; and collateral, or that which subsists between the husband and the relations of his wife's relations.

Dans les opérations de transformation du coton, le mercerisage sert en général à accroître la résistance à la tension, le brillant, l'affinité avec les colorants et la résistance des produits à l'abrasion. Dans cette opération, le coton, en général sous la forme d'un tissu, est imprégné de solutions de soude caustique à froid dans une proportion de 15 à 30 % du volume. Cette solution fait gonfler les fibres de coton. Une fois le délai de contact voulu écoulé, on lave l'alcali sous tension, parfois avec de l'acide. Pendant le lessivage, on ajoute de la soude caustique plus diluée (+,- 5 %) sans tension, ce qui accroît l'affinité du coton avec les colorants. 2, record 5, French, - affinit%C3%A9
