## Abstract Low temperature plasma (LTP) improves the shrink‐resistance of wool fabrics but impairs their softness, so different polysiloxane coatings were applied. Modifications in surface hydrophilicity and topography of fabrics and fibres have been recorded through drop test, contact angle and S

## Abstract The O~2~ plasma treatment of self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) of octadecyl mercaptan on gold substrates was investigated as a model for the oxidation of wool fiber surfaces. Three controlled low‐pressure gas‐plasma treatments were employed in which the active species were (i) atomic oxy
Alcoholic alkali solutions, such as potassium t-butoxide in t-butanol and potassium hydroxide in ethanol, have been known to remove the covalently bound lipid from the wool fibre surface. In this study, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) have been used
