Abstract

In this paper, a new kind of cryogel biocomposite was prepared by combining the dissolution of chicken feathers (CF) and cardboard waste (C) without any pretreatment using an ionic liquid as a green solvent via regeneration and in a very simple way by freeze-drying. FTIR results confirmed that keratin (KER) and cellulose (CEL) remain chemically intact and distributed homogeneously in the composite. The CF/C obtained composite was not only found to be biodegradable but also to preserve the unique properties of its components. Moreover, the absorption capacities of the synthesis cryogel were investigated in organic solvents, suggesting that this obtained composite for the first time as oil absorbent.
