Abstract
The felting process is generally carried out in aqueous solution or steam, because the rate of felting in aqueous solution is larger than that in the air. So the difference of the cyclic compression-recoveay behaviours of the bulks of two sorts of Angora rabbit fibres were observed in the water and air by means of the method described in the preceding paper.
As the results, it was recognized, the specific thickness t (cm/g•cm-2) under a certain pressure p decreased as the number of cyclic compression increased in the distilled water, but in the air it slightly decreased. The slope of the compression line (log t-log p) varied according to the sorts of the fibres in the bulk.
