Abstract
Chicken feather fiber (CFF) that is a clear livestock waste is been used currently in various applications like textiles, crafting, decorations and even in biocomposite manufacturing. The reason for it is the abundance availability and compatible characteristics of the CFF. Here the reviews by various literature sited has been piled up to enhance the awareness of the researchers in the area of using CFF as a reinforcing material in developing various forms of composites. Properties like physical, chemical, mechanical, thermal, acoustical, morphological etc. that are been characterized by different researchers have been put together for the advancement of material development technology. In the past Importance is being given by most of the researchers to the various natural plant fibers. So for the change and the sustainable development the reviews are been formatted.
Highlights
Natural fibers have always attracted scientist’s attention because of their advantages from the environmental standpoint, but almost all the research has been focusing on cellulose from vegetable sources
In the research work the carbon nitrogen fiber is derived from Chicken Feather Fiber (CFF) and the role of different colors on chicken feather fiber char characteristics was investigated [43]
Through the review made here it can be concluded that the CFF has immense importance and great scope of improvement and discovery through advanced research in the field of advanced composite material
Summary
Natural fibers have always attracted scientist’s attention because of their advantages from the environmental standpoint, but almost all the research has been focusing on cellulose from vegetable sources. Keratin fibers are non-abrasive, biodegradable, renewable, ecofriendly, insoluble in organic solvents, and have low density, hydrophobic behavior, ability to dampen sound, warmth retention and cost effective too These characteristics make keratin fibers from chicken feathers a suitable material to be used as a high structural reinforcement in polymer composites [5,6,7]. As in 2005 Barone et al [27] studied polyethylene reinforced with keratin fibers obtained from chicken feathers. In 2014 Subramani et al [32] investigated Mechanical Properties in Polyester and Phenyl-ester Composites Reinforced with Chicken Feather Fiber and presented comparative relation between them. The study was related to the use of biodegradable composites containing chicken feathers as matrix and jute fibers as reinforcement. The proper explanation of the characteristics and properties of different fibers have been discussed by the author [3]
