  Abstract

In this work, the chemical and low temperature nitrogen plasma methods were adopted to treat the raw material, untreated poultry feather (UPF), to obtain thechemically treated poultry feather (CPF), plasma treated poultry feather (PPF) and chemically & plasma treated poultry feather (CPPF), respectively. Then the four kinds of feather fibers were used as reinforcement fibers to prepare feather/keratin composite films with the ratio from 1 % to 12 % (relative to the mass of keratin in the film), respectively. The effect of feather treatment method and the feather fiber content onthe mechanical properties of films were studied. The results show that UPF has poor enhancement performance in keratin films, and CPF and PPF have better reinforcing effect than UPF. The keratin films reinforced by CPPF have relatively strong breaking strength, indicating that the CPPF plays an active reinforcing role in the composite film and has the most potential as a reinforcement fiber. For all the samples, when the fiber content is around 7 %, the composite film has the best mechanical properties.
