Popis: Human hair and sheep wool—natural biocomposites of complex structure, composed of α-keratin chains—are analyzed as basic components for the fabrication of nanomaterials. We demonstrate that metallic nanoparticles can be immobilized both on the surface of and inside hair and wool fibers, and discuss the underlying mechanisms.
