Flammability Characteristics of Animal Fibers: Single Breed Wools, Alpaca/Wool, and Llama/Wool Blends [PDF]

Fibers, 2019
Animal protein-based fibers used in textiles often are assumed to have uniform properties independent of source, and yet are different when considering texture, structure, and color. Differences between fibers from animal species have been studied in regard to general flammability behavior, but differences between fibers from breeds of the same species

RELATIONSHIP OF CHEMICAL AND SOME PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF FIBRES IN SHEEP AND GOATS [PDF]

Journal of Animal and Poultry Production, 2002
Wool and hair samples were obtained from fleeces representative of 40 adult animals (20 Barki ewes and 20 Baladi does). Wool and hair samples were divided into two types of fibres, coarse and fine for wool and outer and inner coat for goat hair fibres

A Novel Approach towards Removal of Lipid Barrier from Wool Fibers’ Surface Using Thermophilic Lipase

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022
The hydrophobic nature of wool caused by the surface lipid barrier impedes any wet processes of wool fibers. The conventional methods that utilize alkaline solutions for removing this lipid layer are deteriorative for the fiber.
