Sheet extrusion and plasticisation of Novatein thermoplastic protein
(The University of Waikato, 2018)The purpose of this study was to develop a relationship between protein structure, rheological properties and plasticization of Novatein. Novatein is a biomass-based thermoplastic in which the main constituent is blood ... -
Structural Changes and Chain Mobility During Processing of Bloodmeal-Based Thermoplastics
(University of Waikato, 2013)The purpose of this study was to use concepts from classical polymer physics to develop a fundamental understanding of the interdependent relationship between structure, properties and processing in NovateinTM Thermoplastic ... -
The Effect of Moisture Content and Extrusion Temperature on the Processing, Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Novatein®
(University of Waikato, 2015)The recent effect of petroleum based synthetic plastic on economy and environment has led to ever increasing study of renewable natural polymers such as proteins. Novatein Thermoplastic (NTP) is a protein based thermoplastic ... -
The Environmental and Economic Impacts for Producing the Port Jackson from Novatein®
(University of Waikato, 2014)Preserving meat quality is paramount during meat processing. Contamination is reduced by preventing contact between faecal matter and the carcass. Rectal plugs are used for this purpose during slaughtering, and the animal’s ... -
The Formulation of Titanium - based Metal Feedstocks and the Fabrication of Parts using the Powder Injection Moulding Process
(University of Waikato, 2015)Development of a profitable titanium industry for New Zealand will not come about without innovative technologies. Plastic injection moulding has long held a place in NZ manufacturing to produce large quantities of complex ...
