Abstract
The application of the biopolymer chitosan as an alternative to the conventional contaminating processes in textiles was studied. As chitosan is produced by biomass, it is biodegradable and bioadsorbable. These properties are increasingly important given the current environmental legislation. The main aim of chitosan treatment of oxidised wool fabrics is to improve felting properties and dyeing behaviour.Mesh:
