摘要: Keratin obtained from poultry feathers was modified with glycerol, which acted as a plasticizer. Films were prepared by pressing the keratin at temper- atures concurrent typical polymer processing atures. The films completely cohesive opposed to partially if pressed under same conditions without glycerol. "tough" and mechan- ical properties show similarities of com- mercially available commodity thermoplastics. produced in few minutes reducing or oxidizing agents. could have potential applications for environmentally friendly materials are needed, such food packaging mulching films. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.* J Appl Polym Sci 97: 1644 -1651,
