Research at the Southern Regional Research Laboratory has resulted in the de velopment of a fiber produced from peanut protein which has been named Sarelon. This fiber is light-cream-colored in its natural state and possesses a soft hand and a warmth similar to that of wool. It possesses an affinity for dyes normally used on protein fibers and may be dyed with vat and direct cotton dyes. Its major weak ness, like that of all synthetic protein fibers, is its low strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
