Abstract

Abstract For thousands of years, wool has been a valuable fibre for humans. Today, wool remains an essential fibre in the textile industry and is suitable for a wide range of applications because of its unique properties and versatility. In addition, wool is renewable and biodegradable making it a sustainable choice for technical textiles. However, wool is susceptible to moth damage. This is caused by the moth larvae that feed on the keratin protein present in wool fibres. Therefore, mothproofing methods are necessary to protect wool products. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of wool and its different applications. Wool’s chemical composition and structure are discussed in addition to its unique properties and world production. This is followed by a section that highlights the different applications of wool ranging from apparel to technical textiles as well as the numerous insect-proofing treatments of wool. A growing interest in wool powder applications has led researchers to explore various methods for its preparation. In this context, the review reports on developments in novel and emergent mechanical methods of preparing wool powder and its potential applications.

羊毛：应用、防虫处理和羊毛粉的制备

摘要几千年来，羊毛一直是人类的宝贵纤维。如今，羊毛仍然是纺织业中不可或缺的纤维，因其独特的特性和多功能性而适用于各种用途。此外，羊毛具有可再生性和生物降解性，因此是技术纺织品的可持续选择。然而，羊毛容易受到蛀虫的破坏。这是由于飞蛾幼虫以羊毛纤维中的角蛋白为食造成的。因此，有必要采用防蛀方法来保护羊毛产品。本综述旨在提供对羊毛及其不同应用的全面了解。除了讨论羊毛的化学成分和结构外，还讨论了羊毛的独特性能和世界生产情况。接下来的章节重点介绍了羊毛的不同应用，从服装到产业用纺织品，以及羊毛的多种防虫处理方法。人们对羊毛粉应用的兴趣与日俱增，促使研究人员探索各种羊毛粉制备方法。在此背景下，综述报告了制备羊毛粉的新型和新兴机械方法的发展及其潜在应用。
