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 ...
Improved Thermal Insulating Properties of Renewable Polyol Based Polyurethane Foams Reinforced with Chicken Feathers
(MDPI, 2019-12-03)
In the present work, sustainable rigid polyurethane foams (RPUF) reinforced with chicken
feathers (CF) were prepared and characterized. The bio-based polyol used to formulate the foams
was obtained from castor oil. This ...
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, ...
