Green plastics: Utilizing chicken feather keratin in thermoplastic polyurethane composites to enhance thermo-mechanical properties

A 'green', sustainable resource, in the form of chicken feather derived keratin, was used to enhance the thermomechanical properties of polyurethane bio-composites. Solvent–casting–evaporation method was used to incorporate three levels of chicken feather fibers (0, 10 and 20 %·w/w) into a...
