Regenerated wool keratin fibers (RWKFs) featuring their ecofriendliness, ample resources, and intrinsic biocompatibility have attracted significant interest, while high-value-added applications are still severely limited by inadequate mechanical properties complex fabrication processes. Herein, a straightforward dry-jet wet spinning technique without post-treatment processes is proposed to prepare ultratoughness RWKFs. The as-spun achieve macroscale hierarchical structure due the preorientation of nanoscale α-keratin protofibrils in air-gap drawing spinning, α-keratins preserved large quantities because no additional stretching. As result, fabricated RWKFs tensile strength ∼142.7 MPa, an outstanding elongation ∼171.7%, record high toughness ∼176.3 MJ m–3, outperforming natural previously reported regenerated fibers. Moreover, RWKFs' dyeability, moisture-induced shape-memory capacity, electric generation performance remarkably expand textiles or even smart apparel.

The extraction of wool keratin protein (WK) from waste has garnered attention for its potential application in tissue engineering, drug delivery, and flexible pressure sensors, contributing to the efficient utilization wool. Herein, we utilized biobased polylactic acid (PLA) as polymer electrospinning incorporated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) conductive additives solution. WK, extracted via a reduction method, exhibited excellent dispersibility stability spinning solution, enabling preparation highly sensitive resistive sensor. results demonstrate that PLA/WK/CNTs @CNTs sensor exhibits high sensitivity 12.64 kPa–1 fast response/recovery time 63 ms. Moreover, it possesses lowest detection limit 5.64 Pa, over 6000 cycles, good linearity within wide working range (0–30 kPa), making suitable wearable biometric monitoring applications such finger pressure, bending, pulse monitoring, well visual interaction interactive blankets infants. Therefore, propose high-quality scheme, showcasing discarded smart living.
