Impact Modification and Fracture Mechanisms of Core-Shell Particle Reinforced Thermoplastic Protein
(WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 2016-08-01)Mechanical properties and fracture mechanisms of Novatein thermoplastic protein and blends with core–shell particles (CSPs) have been examined. Novatein is brittle with low impact strength and energy-to-break. Epoxy-modifi ... -
Improving Impact Properties of Novatein through Polymer Blending and Reactive Extrusion
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Novatein is a brittle thermoplastic made from protein and requires impact strength modification before it can be used in a wider variety of applications, such as in the agricultural, horticultural and meat processing ... -
Manipulating morphology in thermoplastic protein/polyester blends for improved impact strength
(WILEY, 2018-10-01)Novatein thermoplastic protein was blended with 10 wt% poly(butylene adipate- co- terephthalate) (PBAT) compatibilized with Joncryl ADR- 4368 and 2- methylimidazole (2MI). Morphology was tailored for favorable impact ...
