Fabrication and characterization of keratin starch biocomposite film from chicken feather waste and ginger starch

Abstract The disposal of chicken feather through burning or burying is not environmentally compliant due to the accompanying release of greenhouse gas and underground water contamination. Thus, the transformation of this bio-waste into a bio-composite film is considered not only a sustainable strate...
