Abstract:The fabrication of a novel macroporous organic material from keratin wool fiber waste is herein described together with its utilization as a heterogeneous matrix for the immobilization of organocatalysts, namely, methyl imidazolium iodide, TBD, and a combination thereof. Application of the freeze-drying method and utilization of the cross-linking agent hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) allow for the preparation of keratin sponges suitably shaped in the form of cylindrical pellets with an interconnected threedim… Show more
