Innovative Strategies for Sustainable Materials: Developing Protein-Based Bioplastics from Rapeseed By-Products for a Circular Economy

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Different S-S reducing and denaturing agents were tested at various concentrations to induce protein denaturation and to understand the role of the molecular feature on the material ultimate properties.The polypeptide chain became so more flexible and, at the same time, made functional groups more accessible for crosslinking reactions.Moreover, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) revealed improved thermal stability of the material containing both the reducing and the denaturing agent (RM-R2D2 14%).
