A study of the wet properties of wool exposed to low concentrations of aqueous chlorine under a variety of conditions is reported. Fiber stress-strain data are presented showing the effects of variations in the concentration of chlorine, pH. temperature, time of exposure, and agitation. Comparisons of cystine-cysteic acid percentages as inter preted from paper chromatograms are presented. Alkali solubilities of chlorine-damaged samples were determined, and their relation to other properties is noted.
