In order to understand the influence of the inherent chemistry on the relative thermal stability
of condensed tannins, the thermal degradation behaviors of various radiata pine bark …

Sustainable consumption and production falls under UN sustainable development goal 12,
which require environmentally sound management of chemicals and all wastes; and to …

In this work, a chemical free green processing route was followed to fabricate alpaca
powders from waste alpaca fibres. The waste fibres were converted into powders with the …

Optimization of enzymatic hydrolysis of wool fiber was carried out using a Central Composite
Design (CCD) in order to produce wool nanoparticles. The effects of three important …

The goal of this study was to investigate the mechanical and biological properties of
oxidized keratin materials, which were obtained by using buffalo horns to oxidize. It could …

Protein is one of the most abundant natural polymeric materials, but only a few studies on
nanoproteins have been conducted. In this paper, a novel approach based on ultrasound …

The protein structures of wool, treated in fabric form with ultrasonics for different time
durations, were analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), in …

The water vapour sorption behaviour of a range of sheep wool types and alpaca was
studied using dynamic vapour sorption. Sorption isotherms were interpreted using the …

The tensile and durability properties of single wool fibres were investigated with tensile
testing method and lever equipment giving the results examined by Zhurkov's kinetic …

Protein fibers, including wool fibers, selectively adsorb precious-metal ions; hence, they can
potentially be used in wastewater treatment applications. Herein, we examined metal-ion …
