AFM Study of Untreated and Treated Fibers of Mongolian Goat Cashmere

Article Preview

Abstract:

The morphological surface change of untreated and treated fibers of the Mongolian goat cashmere was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM) at ambient conditions. The cuticle scale heights of the Mongolian goat cashmere fibers were measured by the AFM for the fibers before and after treatment. The experimental results showed that the difference between the fine structure of the cuticle and surface roughness of untreated and treated fibers. We found that the surface morphological change of the cashmere fibers was strongly degraded after the bleaching process.
