Also, wool keratin (WK) loaded polymer surfaces were fabricated. The chemical, structural and morphological characteristics of keratin extracted from aqueous solutions were analyzed and compared for both methods. It is concluded that optimized results in this study could contribute in future research studies to select the parameters and methods to extract keratin films from recyclable wool fibers. Also, WK loaded nanofibrous films could be potential in filtration, air purification and tissue engineering.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessKeratin filmwool fiberwool keratinextractionkeratin characterizationkeratin nanofibersArticle10.1080/15440478.2018.1500335173427436WOS:000509683600011Q1Q2
