МИКРОСТРУКТУРНЫЙ АНАЛИЗ ШЕРСТЯНЫХ ВОЛОКОН РАЗЛИЧНЫХ ТИПОВ И СОСТОЯНИЙ С ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕМ СКАНИРУЮЩЕЙ ЭЛЕКТРОННОЙ МИКРОСКОПИИ (СЭМ)

Abstract

This study investigates the microstructure of wool fibers of various types (coarse, semi-coarse, fine) and different conditions (washed, unwashed, dyed) using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Based on the obtained images, a comparative analysis of morphological features such as scale structure, porosity, microcracks, and other defects was conducted. It was found that the type of wool and the method of processing significantly affect the fiber surface condition and its physical and mechanical properties. The study revealed that fine fibers, such as merino wool, are particularly susceptible to damage during dyeing. The composition and structure of fibers can be precisely determined using quantitative analysis methods in accordance with GOST R ISO 17751-2016. The findings can contribute to optimizing wool processing technology and improving the quality of textile products.
