Abstract

In the research, we reported on a new method to produce fine wool protein crystallites by regeneration method, and this kind protein emulsion can be used on the treatment of fabrics, synthetic or nature fibers, allowing to form protein sheath or encapsulation layer that do not disturb the original properties and adding additional functions. From the structure analysis, it was showed that the particle size of the protein is below 100nm and micro-morphology being ball-like in appearance. There exists mixed crystalline morphology, single- and multi-crystal , in the nano-wool protein crystallites and it also showed higher crystalline degree (crystallinity) than original wool materials. And, cotton woven fabric treated with this kind nano materials by simply method , exhibits several unique features and after standard washing, these functions still remained .
