Abstract
Studies by D.T.A. of modified wools are reported. The influence of a range of specific chemical treatments on the shape, size and position of the observed endothermic processes are given. The results of breaking the cystine crosslinks by both oxidation and reduction are discussed. Formation of additional methylene crosslinks and the specific blocking of acidic and basic groups in the protein leads to alterations in the thermal behaviour of the fibrous protein.
