title: [Water in keratin: electrical conductivity measurements].
abstract: Measurements of electrical conductivity of keratin fibers show that, for weak hydration (0-5%) interaction between water and protein is strong. This decreases the probability of charges-exchange taking place between them. During the first percentages of elongation, an increase of the percentage of "intermediate water" appears.
