Abstract

Wool fiber shows excellent advantages in warmth-retaining and many other practical properties possibly due to its hierarchical structure. Its fractal dimension of wool fiber is calculated which is very close to the Golden Mean, 1.618. The present study might provide a new interpretation for the reason why wool fiber has so many excellent properties
