A Review on Chicken Feather Fiber (CFF) and its application in Composites

Analysis of thermal decomposition kinetics of chicken feather fiber reinforced Poly-lactic acid composites filament

“…The activation energy of the composite is lower than the activation energy observed during thermal degradation of chicken feather (200 kJ/mol to 210 kJ/mol) [ 28 ]. Chicken feather contains various proportions of different types of proteins [ 13 ]. Each component has different decomposition reaction rules with different activation energies.…”

“…To maintain the homogeneity in the characteristics contour feathers of white broiler chicken was selected. The feathers were pre-processed as suggested in the research paper by Adil Khan et al [ 13 , 22 ]. The trimmed barbs in the form of short fibers are mixed with PLA granules and formed into filaments using an indigenous short fiber reinforced composite filament extruder.…”

“…Chicken feather fibers have a high aspect ratio and also have high thermal resistance properties. CFF has been reviewed as good reinforcement material by earlier researchers [ 13 ]. Biocompatible composites prepared with CFF as reinforcement and PLA as matrix material have been reported in previous research.…”

Potential Use of Melamine Phytate as a Flame-Retardant Additive in Chicken Feather-Containing Thermoplastic Polyurethane Biocomposites

“…In recent years, finding unique and added value applications for them has attracted careful attention. Feather-based fibers are used in numerous applications including nonwovens, biochar, biodiesel, bioplastics, and composites owing to producing novel sustainable and ecofriendly materials with increasing environmental consciousness. ,, In the development of biocomposites, feather fibers, such as chicken feather (CF), have been utilized and referenced in previous detailed review articles. − Specifically, the incorporation of CF has been shown to enhance the mechanical properties of TPU in the literature. ,− …”
