Keratin Modified and Functionalized as a Reinforcement and Nucleation Agent of β-Polypropylene Composites

Keratin Modified and Functionalized as a Reinforcement and Nucleation Agent of β-Polypropylene Composites

A new green β nucleating agent has been obtained from industrial waste. This way, pimelic acid (PA) was chemically supported on treated keratin fibers to promote the β polymorph into a polypropylene matrix using several percentages of reinforcement (0.5, 1.0, and 5.0% w/w). IR spectra suggest a succ...
