Development of a building integrated photovoltaic/thermal solar energy cogeneration system
(2008)Using renewable energy sources for onsite cogeneration from structural building elements is a relatively new concept and is gaining considerable interest. In this study the design, development, manufacturing and testing ... -
An eco-profile of thermoplastic protein derived from blood meal Part 1: allocation issues
(Springer, 2011)Purpose A renewable thermoplastic called Novatein Thermoplastic Protein (NTP) has been developed from blood meal—a low-value by-product of the meat processing industry. The aim of this research was to develop a non-renewable ... -
An ecoprofile of thermoplastic protein derived from blood meal Part 2: thermoplastic processing
(Springer-Verlag, 2012-03)Purpose The purpose of this research was to develop a nonrenewable energy and greenhouse gas emissions ecoprofile of thermoplastic protein derived from blood meal (Novatein thermoplastic protein; NTP). This was intended ... -
Effect of Bloodmeal Hydrolysate and Hydrolysate Modified Clay Bloodmeal-Based Thermoplastic Mechanical Properties
(2014)Novotein thermoplastic (NTP) is a bloodmeal based plastic developed by the University of Waikato by mixing bloodmeal with water, additives and tri-ethylene glycol (TEG - a plasticiser and petroleum based product) so it can ... -
Effect of oxidative treatment on the secondary structure of decoloured bloodmeal
(2014)Bloodmeal can be decoloured using peracetic acid resulting in a material with a pale-yellow colour which only needs sodium dodecyl sulphate, water and triethylene glycol to extrude into a semi-transparent bioplastic. ...
