TLDR Milk protein treatment reduces pilling in rabbit hair fabric.
The study investigated the use of milk protein grafting and cross-linking technology to address the fuzzing and pilling issues in rabbit hair knitted fabric. By observing the fabric's surface with SEM and testing its pilling resistance through circular locus and hair bulb counting methods, it was found that the treatment made the fiber's surface rougher. This roughness, resulting from significant protein grafting, effectively improved the fabric's pilling resistance.
