Explanation of the Fractal Characteristics of Goose Down Configurations

Abstract: Down is a layer of undercoat growing on the cuticular of fowl, such as geese, ducks and swans, etc. Goose down and duck down are thereinto the most usual down, which and very soft and fine in nature. For a long time, down has been used as the best filler material for bedding and outerwear, able to withstand cold climates because of its superior thermal insulating properties. The investigation of the configuration characteristics and thermal insulation mechanisms of down and down assemblies have never stopped, … Show more

“…These amino-acid molecules linked into polypeptide chains forming the primary structure of down keratin. Also there were transverse links, like salt bond links, amino bond links, ester linkage links, disulfide bond links and hydrogen bond links, condensed by most these alpha-amino-acid among the down keratin macromolecules [6].…”

“…As a component of the connecting/winding filler, it is important to improve the mechanical property of composite aerogels. The unique hollow structure has great potential and development prospects for adsorption and thermal insulation. , Moreover, DF is also a kind of good high-temperature resistant material, and has outstanding absorption capacity for dyestuff and high dye removal efficiency. …”

“…Shi [3] used two fractal parameters to build up the relationship between structure of fiber bundle and the vertical wicking height. Gao [4][5][6] studied the fractal dimension of goose down and proposed that the near optimal fractal dimension may be attributable for the excellent thermal insulation and breath-ability of goose down. Fan [7] provided a new interpretation for the relationship between fractal dimension of wool fiber and its warmth-retaining property.…”
