Abstract
The level of shrink-resistance conferred to wool by five commercial polymers has been improved considerably by pretreatment of the wool with an amine. The successful pretreatments raised the surface energy of the wool. It is suggested that this results in greater adhesion between polymers and wool, which in turn leads to improved shrink-resistance.Keywords
