Concrete is one of the leading composite materials for construction, therefore the
identification of strategies aimed at reducing its environmental impact is crucial for greening …

Fiber reinforcement can effectively improve the toughness, shrinkage, and durability
characteristics of concrete. The use of recycled fibers from industrial or postconsumer waste …

Polyethylene-based composites were prepared using keratin fibers obtained from chicken
feathers. Fibers of similar diameter but varying aspect ratio were mixed into low-density …

Recycling wastes, especially feathers in the construction sector, is considered a free source
to reduce environmental pollution. Integration of waste chicken feathers (WCF) in certain …

Keratin fibres are waste products of the poultry industry. Natural materials made from
chicken feather fibres (CFFs) are used in concrete-reinforced composites in this study …

This study investigated the use of waste chicken feather (barbs and rachis) as reinforcement
in cement-bonded composites. A series of composite boards consisting of various …

The main objective of this paper is the improvement of the thermal properties of gypsum
plaster through mixing it with chicken feather waste, in order to be used in walls and ceiling …

The technological breakthrough in the field of natural composites has led to the introduction
of many new materials and products, which are environmentally friendly. As a result, there is …

Fibres derived from waste chicken feathers have been used to reinforce magnesium silicate
hydrate (MSH) cement mortars and Portland cement mortars using up to 5% of fibres by …

Materials derived from chicken feathers could be used advantageously in composite
building material applications. Such applications could potentially consume the five billion …
