MODIFICATION OF WOOL FIBERS VIA BASE/CATIONIC DETERGENT PRETREATMENT AND TRANSGLUTAMINASE-MEDIATED REACTION OF KERATIN

Modification of Wool Fibers via Base/Cationic Detergent Pretreatment and Transglutaminase-mediated Reaction of Keratin

The surface modification of wool fibers is an important part of the textile industry to add functionality and stability to wool products.In this study, we developed a process utilizing a base/cationic surfactant solution pretreatment followed by an enzyme-mediated keratin crosslinking reaction to modify the wool fibers.Changes in water contact angl
