Abstract
The melting behavior of alpha-form crystallites in wool in an intermed iate state between dry and wet is investigated using DSC for samples i n various forms. The specific thermal characteristics of wool affectin g its melting thermograms are identified. Silicone oil provides a cons tant thermal environment, with the melting and degradation endotherms readily separated for easier interpretation.
