research Fundamental studies on the interaction between moisture and textiles. Part X. Moisture sorption properties of wool and hair fibers.
Wool and hair fibers absorb moisture similarly due to their keratin structure, with the amount of non-crystalline areas affecting the moisture uptake.
research Scale Heights of Chemically Treated Wool and Hair Fibers
Chemical treatments can change the scale heights of wool and cashmere fibers, affecting their identification.
research Determination of technological conditions of stretching-setting treatment of wool and human hair fibers
Stretching-setting treatment works for wool and human hair using specific equipment and methods.
research A modular modeling approach for investigating wool critical buckling from biologically variable along-fiber microstructure
The model helps understand how wool fiber structure affects its strength and flexibility.
research Wool fiber curvature is correlated with abundance of K38 and specific keratin‐associated proteins
Wool fiber curliness is linked to the presence of certain proteins and K38.
research Wool Fibres: Sectioning and Staining, Differentiation of Ortho and Paracortex
research Changes of Curvature with Regain of Set Wool and Hair Fibers
Merino wool fibers change shape with moisture, while human hair shape stays the same.
research Number changes and development potential of wool follicle cells in the early stages of fiber differentiation
Wool follicle cells are more complex than previously thought.
research Intrinsic curvature in wool fibres is determined by the relative length of orthocortical and paracortical cells
Wool fibre curvature is due to longer orthocortical cells compared to paracortical cells.
research Cellular Debris in the Grease of Wool Fibers
Cellular debris sticks to damaged wool fibers and affects wool cleanliness.

research X-rays studies of the structure of hair, wool, and related fibres. II. - The molecular structure and elastic properties of hair keratin
Stretched hair has a similar structure to natural silk, showing hair's elasticity involves reversible changes within its molecules.
research Moisture sorption/desorption of protein fibres
Internal lipids in keratin fibers, like wool and hair, reduce water absorption and release.
research The Production of Unshrinkability by Cross‐linkage Formation in Wool
Mercuric acetate makes wool unshrinkable by changing its elastic properties.
research Characterization of transport systems for cysteine, lysine, alanine, and leucine in wool follicles of sheep
Sheep wool follicles absorb different amino acids at various rates and locations, which could affect wool growth based on diet and genetics.
research Fractal geometry and topology abstracted from hair fibers
Hair fibers have fractal patterns with properties related to the golden mean, which may affect their functionality.
research Keratin Gene Expression in Wool Fibre Development
Only two of the four keratin genes are expressed in wool fibers.
research Investigation of Some Amino Acid Analogues and Metabolites as Inhibitors of Wool and Hair Growth
Certain amino acid analogues can inhibit wool and hair growth and affect fiber strength.
research Hair today, gone tomorrow: the degradation and conservation of archaeological hair fibers
Acidic sandy clay damages archaeological hair the most, while dry conditions preserve but make it brittle; silicone oil can help keep the hair flexible.
research Identification of the KAP27-1 gene in sheep and its effect on wool traits
The KRTAP27-1 gene variations in sheep may affect wool length and weight.
