Scientists have been able to create plastic that mixes the environment using chicken feathers.
Dr. Eki Young, informed the American Chemical Society's 241th meeting. According to him many people have been able to create environmentally friendly plastic in many ways. But the main problems of these plastic were wasted after the wetting. According to him, they were able to make water purifier thermoplastic for the first time with the chicken feathers. Thermoplastic dentist brush is used as the main component of the handle, bottle and many factories.
It is possible to absorb thermoplastic with high heat and bring it in liquid state. It can be used repeatedly and its use is infinite. But other types of plastic are melted only once.
Yang said: 'The main components of the plastic we are using now are coming from oil and gas. But considering the availability of oil prices, easy availability and its near future, they are looking for agricultural-based plastic forming materials; One of the main attractions of which is 'friendly to the environment'.
According to Yang, chicken feathers can be a unique ingredient in plastic formation, mainly they are not used in any other way, it is found in abundance, 3 billion pounds of feathers are left in the United States. The feather is made by keratin. It is one of the strongest proteins found in human hair, horn, and cow dung. Such proteins will strengthen the plastic. Due to the uniqueness of the feather formation process
it has done better than any protein.
