The physicochemical properties of wool fibre surfaces are reviewed in terms of treatments used to increase surface polarity and promote aqueous wetting, dyability and shrink resistance. Use of a new UV ozone dry treatment, which is effectively effluent free, is shown to give levels of surface oxidation which leads to water wetting and dyeability which may be suitable for some industrial purposes.
