Abstract
The relation between the glass transition temperature and the water content of wool can be described by the Fox equation. Data on transitions from a wide range of sources, including mechanical, dielectric, and calorimetric measurements, are well described by the equation. The utility of the relation for understanding and interpreting experiments on the wrinkle recovery of wool fabrics is shown.Keywords
