Abstract—

New composites based on keratin and EVA (the copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate) are developed. Their mechanical and rheological properties and their process of biodegradation are investigated. These materials’ characteristics were with composites based on polyethylene and keratin to study interfacial interactions. Differences in their mechanical properties are revealed. It is shown that biodegradation proceeds better in composites using EVA because it has reactive groups, in contrast to polyethylene.

基于角蛋白和热塑性聚合物的生物复合物的结构和性质

摘要-

开发了基于角蛋白和EVA（乙烯和乙酸乙烯酯的共聚物）的新型复合材料。研究了它们的机械和流变特性以及它们的生物降解过程。这些材料的特性是基于聚乙烯和角蛋白的复合材料，用于研究界面相互作用。揭示了它们机械性能的差异。结果表明，与聚乙烯相比，使用EVA的复合材料的生物降解性能更好，因为它具有反应性基团。
