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 ... -
Rheology and Processing of Novatein Thermoplastic Protein
(University of Waikato, 2010)Biopolymers have become suitable alternatives to petro-chemical polymers as they can biodegrade and are considered environmentally friendly. Novatein Thermoplastic Protein (NTP) is a newly developed plastic material using ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
