Abstract
It is found that abrasion tests of wool fabric are greatly accelerated by a coating formed on the abradant. Micro-chemical analyses, infra-red adsorption curves and electron micrographs of this coating show that is is formed of extremely small particles of wool which appear to correspond in size and shape to the keratin molecules of which wool is composed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
