Fabrication of feather keratin bio-based materials: Thermoplastics and tissue engineered scaffolds
DownloadFall 2017
Chicken feathers are an abundant by-product from poultry industry. Feathers are composed of around 90% keratin, a valuable protein bioresource that have great potential for non-food applications. Keratin is characterized by a high content of cysteine residues forming disulfide bonds. This feature...

Serpe, Michael J., Xu, Wenwen, Gao, Yongfeng
Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgel-based free-standing etalons have been developed by fabricating etalons on a solid support that has been coated with a sacrificial polymer layer. Therefore, the etalon could be easily removed from the solid substrate upon...

Mussone, Paolo G., Bressler, David C., Khalil, Hamdy, Mekonnen, Tizazu H.
Over the coming few decades bioplastic materials are expected to complement and gradually replace some of the fossil oil based materials. Multidisciplinary research efforts have generated a significant level of technical and commercial success towards these bio-based materials. However, extensive...
