Porous Fibers: Spinning Angora Rabbit Wool-Like Porous Fibers from a Non-Equilibrated Gelatin/Water/2-Propanol Mixture (Adv. Funct. Mater. 13/2014)

The luxury angora rabbit fiber stands out from other animal hair. Its porous structure combines exceptional insulation and comfortable wear. On page 1831, W. J. Stark and co‐workers present a method by which a structurally equivalent protein filament can be synthesized in a continuous process. Raw m...

Summary:The luxury angora rabbit fiber stands out from other animal hair. Its porous structure combines exceptional insulation and comfortable wear. On page 1831, W. J. Stark and co‐workers present a method by which a structurally equivalent protein filament can be synthesized in a continuous process. Raw material slaughterhouse waste‐derived gelatin is utilized, adding value to this low‐cost biopolymer.
