Abstract
Some natural fibers, particularly protein fibers like spider silk and wool show good water sensitive properties. The structures of protein fibers have large quantities of hydrogen bond which is identified as the reason behind the feature. This paper demonstrates the water-sensitive property of wool fiber and shape memory effect by water driven and explores the possibility of water-sensitive shape memory fibers.
