Effects of Ozone Treatment on Wool Scales and Mechanical Properties

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the ozone treating effects on wool scales and wool fabrics mechanical property through experiments and observation. For this purpose, detailed investigations on the role of mechanical properties surfacing topography, changes in component and membrane structure were investigated. Then, a micro explanation was given to discuss the mechanism of wool shrinkage. Because scales are the necessary factor for shrinking, this study is of great significance to the work of shrinkproofing.
