Keratin-Nylon 6 engineered microbeads for adsorption of Th (IV) ions from liquid effluents

open access: yes, 2017
The applicability of novel porous microbeads (average diameter of about 2.0 mm) of α-keratin engineered with Nylon 6, have been investigated for the adsorption of radioactive and non-biodegradable Th (IV) ions from the effluents.

Processing–Structure–Property Relationships in Keratin Films Prepared by Solution Casting and Compression Molding

open access: yesAdvances in Polymer Technology
Feather keratin represents a promising renewable feedstock for biopolymer films; however, its broader application has been limited by inadequate mechanical strength and barrier performance. In this study, the effects of sulfitolysis extraction conditions,

Synergistic Effects of Cosolvents on the Dissolution of Wool Keratin Using Ionic Liquids

open access: yes, 2016
Keratin, regenerated from wool fibers, is widely used in the textile and medicine fields. In this work, a series of synthesized 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids (IL) were used to dissolve wool keratin.

Feather Keratin Binder for Particleboards: A Sustainable Alternative to Urea-Formaldehyde and Food-Based Protein Adhesives

open access: yesBioResources
This study evaluates keratin as a formaldehyde-free adhesive for three-layer particleboards for EN 312 (2010) P1-type by developing a sustainable alternative to urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins while decreasing reliance on food-derived protein adhesives ...

Transformation of keratinous waste into biochar for sustainable multifunctional applications

open access: yesDiscover Environment
Keratin wastes are generated more than 8 million tonnes annually, which largely end up in landfills or incineration. This represents an environmental burden and a significantly underexploited resource with high nitrogen (N) (15–18%) and sulphur (S) (2–5%)

Keratin utilizes H2S to promote HMGB1 sulfhydration for inflammation resolution

open access: yesRedox Biology
Despite the established importance of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in redox biology, strategies to modulate its endogenous levels remain largely unexplored. Here, we show that a keratin fraction (KF) obtained from natural sources modulates H2S homeostasis and ...
