Characterisation of reduction state of cystine linkages on wool fibre surface under heterogeneous reaction conditions

As a natural biomaterial with outstanding properties, keratin fibres hold promising potential in many application fields. The reduction of disulphides in keratin to the corresponding thiols plays a central role e.g. in modification and functionalisation of wool, in hair cosmetics, as well as in adva...
