Repurposing human hair keratins into novel fibers based on interfacial polyelectrolyte complexation
Millions of tonnes of human hair accumulate in landfills or are incinerated annually, contributing to environmental pollution. However, human hair contains keratins which is a valuable biomaterial as they are biocompatible, biodegradable and bioactive. In addition, as the keratins are of human origi...
