Abstract: Nowadays, recycling natural waste materials is the most appropriate way of dealing with the problems arising from disposal of large volumes of synthetic polymers in the environment. Among the natural materials, keratin proteins are potentially useful biopolymers for various applications from agriculture to biomedical. Keratin, which largely presents in poultry feather, wool, and hair, can be developed into various shapes and forms of foams, sponges, mats, films, gels, fibers, and powder. Since the protein powder could keep the original properties of the material without destroying the microstructure, it has been widely applied in modern industries.
