Abstract
Over the years, extensive research has been carried out to find viable alternatives for synthetic fibres. Among the bio natural fibre composites, Chicken Feather Fiber (CFF) is considered to be a good substitute for the synthetic variants. CFF is a by-product of poultry farming and the lack of standardized extraction methods makes it difficult to analyse, treat and post-process the CFF. However, the relative abundance and the compatible characteristics of the CFF makes it an interesting class of fibres with the potential to be used in many applications. This study reveals that the utilization of CFF makes biodegradable and eco-friendly combinations that provides a path to eliminate major solid waste materials from chicken farms. In this paper, we present a comprehensive review of CFF with special focus on the mechanical, chemical, thermal, acoustical and morphological properties of the material. The potential applications of the CFF in different commercial industries for the advancement of eco-friendly sustainable products are explored in detail, along with certain discrepancies in the reported properties of the material.
