Abstract
Relaxation curves of human hair stretched 10–50 per cent in aqueous media have been determined. The time range of the experiments was 0–60 hours and the temperature range 14.9–34.7°C. The results indicate that two relaxation processes occur in a fibre stretched in water. One is rapid, contributes the major part of relaxation during the first 10 seconds after extension and is due to the breaking of secondary bonds; the other is a slower process which gives rise to relaxation over greater periods of time and is due to disulphide-bond fission.Keywords
