Abstract

In order to improve keratin film mechanical properties, keratin and cellulose solutions were mixed in various ratios and coated on glass plates. Measurements of these composite films show that their mechanical properties decrease with an increase in keratin content in comparison with pure cellulose film. The thermal stability of composite film (40/60) with glutaraldehyde was significantly larger and had a little corrugated surface.
