Flexible Biocomposites with Enhanced Interfacial Compatibility Based on Keratin Fibers and Sulfur-Containing Poly(urea-urethane)s
(MDPI, 2018-09-21)
Feathers are made of keratin, a fibrous protein with high content of disulfide-crosslinks
and hydrogen-bonds. Feathers have been mainly used as reinforcing fiber in the preparation of
biocomposites with a wide variety ...
Fully Biodegradable Biocomposites with High Chicken Feather Content
(MDPI, 2017-11-09)
The aim of this work was to develop new biodegradable polymeric materials with high
loadings of chicken feather (CF). In this study, the effect of CF concentration and the type of
biodegradable matrix on the physical, ...
Build-To-Specification Vanillin and Phloroglucinol Derived Biobased Epoxy-Amine Vitrimers
(MDPI, 2020-10-22)
Epoxy resins are widely used in the composite industry due to their dimensional stability,
chemical resistance, and thermo-mechanical properties. However, these thermoset resins have
important drawbacks. (i) The vast ...
