Abstract:This study exploited the use of byproducts from food production and other bio-waste to develop new thermoprocessable polymers and composites. In particular, the thermoprocessability of animal glue, a biopolymer extracted from the bones and skin of animals taken from the waste of meatpacking and tanning industries, was investigated. As animal glue alone does not exhibit thermoplasticity, its plasticization was explored using water as a temporary plasticizer and glycerol as a permanent plasticizer. Optimization … Show more
