“…DDGS, a corn ethanol coproduct, has been used as filler to increase the thermomechanical properties of PHA bioplastic and the biodegradation of the resulting composites, showing potential for disposable agricultural applications (29). Chicken feather fiber (CFF) waste from the poultry industry, with glass fiber and epoxy resin, resulted in lightweight hybrid biocomposites (30). As compared with glass fiber-epoxy composites, the CFF or CFF-glass fiber hybrid composites exhibited 30 to 40% density reduction because of internal void and lower aspect ratio of CFF as compared with glass fiber.…”

Interest in constructing composite materials from biosourced, recycled materials; waste resources; and their combinations is growing. Biocomposites have attracted the attention of automakers for the design of lightweight parts. Hybrid biocomposites made of petrochemical-based and bioresourced materials have led to technological advances in manufacturing. Greener biocomposites from plant-derived fiber and crop-derived plastics with higher biobased content are continuously being developed. Biodegradable composites have shown potential for major uses in sustainable packaging. Recycled plastic materials originally destined for landfills can be redirected and repurposed for blending in composite applications, thus leading to reduced dependence on virgin petro-based materials. Studies on compatibility of recycled and waste materials with other components in composite structure for improved interface and better mechanical performance pose major scientific challenges. This research holds the promise of advancing a key global sustainability goal.

“…The same group further observed that loading epoxy matrix with hybrid glass fibre/chicken feather fibres reduced a density up to 40% when compared with standard glass fibre reinforced composites. The feather fibre/epoxy composites displayed storage modulus of about 3.5 GPa and a flexural strength of about 50-80 MPa, while partially replacing feather fibres with E-glass fibre (hybrid fibre composite) can increase the modulus (13.4 GPa) and strength (about 310 MPa) [232].…”

Among the biopolymers from animal sources, keratin is one the most abundant, with a major contribution from side stream products from cattle, ovine and poultry industry, offering many opportunities to produce cost-effective and sustainable advanced materials. Although many reviews have discussed the application of keratin in polymer-based biomaterials, little attention has been paid to its potential in association with other polymer matrices. Thus, herein, we present an extensive literature review summarizing keratin’s compatibility with other synthetic, biosynthetic and natural polymers, and its effect on the materials’ final properties in a myriad of applications. First, we revise the historical context of keratin use, describe its structure, chemical toolset and methods of extraction, overview and differentiate keratins obtained from different sources, highlight the main areas where keratin associations have been applied, and describe the possibilities offered by its chemical toolset. Finally, we contextualize keratin’s potential for addressing current issues in materials sciences, focusing on the effect of keratin when associated to other polymers’ matrices from biomedical to engineering applications, and beyond.

“…In the case of composite materials without compatibilizers the decrease in breaking strength is 45% fact attributed to the uniform dispersion of feather flour due to the presence of compatibilizers, Figure 6. It can be concluded that thermal degradation of feather flour occurs in the process of achieving composites and the properties are dependent on feather flour content [14]. The results for elongation at break denote https://doi.org/10.37358/MP.20.4.5432 variations of the values for all composite materials.…”

The study is highlighting the possibility of modeling the properties of composite materials based on recycled polypropylene (PPR), flour feathers(FF), and compatibilizers (C). The composite materials with 10% and 20% feather flour content were mixed and processed with a two-stage extruder having four heating zones between 200-230�C, in order to obtain granules. The granules were injected in various forms to evaluate the properties. The composite materials have been evaluated for determination of melt flow index (1900C; 2.16kg), density, Charpy impact, breaking strength, elongation at break, and the dielectric behavior. The results showed that the introduction of feather flour in the polymer matrix based on PPR leads to decreased flow properties as well as physical and mechanical properties. The solution in solving these deficiencies was to use compatibility agents, that would improve these properties. The physico mechanical properties were analyzed in order to identify a composite with optimal properties for industrial application.
