Abstract
In order to improve the surface properties of wool fiber, the wool fabric was treated with liquid ammonia and protease treatments successively. The results showed that liquid ammonia pretreatment could cause certain damage to the surface structure and disulfide bonds in keratin, which enhanced the action of protease on wool surface and catalytic hydrolysis of the cuticle. The joint treatment of liquid ammonia and protease changed the secondary structure of wool. The content of α‐helix and random crimp increased, while the content of β‐sheet decreased. In addition, the shrink resistance of wool fabric was significantly improved without obvious losses in tensile strength and elongation. The combination of liquid ammonia and protease treatments provides a potential new method for the surface modification and eco‐friendly shrink‐resistant finishing of wool and further widens the application of liquid ammonia in textile industry.
期刊介绍：
Surface and Interface Analysis is devoted to the publication of papers dealing with the development and application of techniques for the characterization of surfaces, interfaces and thin films. Papers dealing with standardization and quantification are particularly welcome, and also those which deal with the application of these techniques to industrial problems. Papers dealing with the purely theoretical aspects of the technique will also be considered. Review articles will be published; prior consultation with one of the Editors is advised in these cases. Papers must clearly be of scientific value in the field and will be submitted to two independent referees. Contributions must be in English and must not have been published elsewhere, and authors must agree not to communicate the same material for publication to any other journal. Authors are invited to submit their papers for publication to John Watts (UK only), Jose Sanz (Rest of Europe), John T. Grant (all non-European countries, except Japan) or R. Shimizu (Japan only).
