Preparation and Properties of Keratin/CMC Blend Membranes

Abstract:

In this work, the wool keratin solution was obtained by a reduction method, and mixed with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) solution in order to prepare blend membranes. The structures and mechanical properties of the blend membranes with different keratin/CMC ratios were investigated. It was found the addition of CMC with good molding ability improved the smoothness and enhanced mechanical properties of membranes. The results of instrument analyses showed that the crystallinity, thermal stability and hydration performance of blend membranes were between those of pure keratin and CMC membranes. CMC exhibited good ability to improve the film-forming of keratin membrane.
