Enzymatic Functionalization of Wool for Felting Shrink-Resistance

, &
Pages 437-450 | Published online: 29 Jul 2016
 

ABSTRACT

Felting shrink-resistance is an inherent limitation of wool that affects serviceability of woolen textiles by altering fit and aesthetic after repeated launderings. Eco-friendly protein hydrolysis of scales of wool via enzymatic processing bears “slow nature of enzyme action” and “excessive weight/tensile strength loss” as major constraints. Chemical & enzymatic pre-treatments used to increase wettability of wool for easier adsorption of enzymes on surface are mentioned. Developments to control tensile/weight loss via different pre-treatments, engineering of enzymes bigger than corresponding native enzymes, immobilized enzymes, post-treatment with cross-linking enzymes, enzymes with optimum efficiency in acidic conditions are reviewed.

摘要

毡缩性是羊毛固有的一项不利特性,它会改变羊毛纺织品在反复洗涤后的贴身性和美观度,从而影响羊毛纺织品的推广。通过酶处理对羊毛鳞片进行环保型蛋白水解后,能够克服主要限制因素“酶作用的缓慢性质”和“重量/拉伸强度过度损失”。本文指出化学和酶预处理用于提高羊毛的润湿性,以便更容易吸附表面酶。本文还对下列各项工艺开发进行了考察:通过预处理控制拉伸/重量损失,对大于相应天然酶的酶进行工艺处理,固定酶,采用交联酶进行后处理,酶在酸性条件下的最佳效力。
