Improving the Water Resistance and Mechanical Properties of Feather Keratin/Polyvinyl Alcohol/Tris(Hydroxymethyl)Aminomethane Blend Films by Cross-Linking with Transglutaminase, CaCl<sub>2</sub>, and Genipin

Improving the Water Resistance and Mechanical Properties of Feather Keratin/Polyvinyl Alcohol/Tris(Hydroxymethyl)Aminomethane Blend Films by Cross-Linking with Transglutaminase, CaCl<sub>2</sub>, and Genipin

The high moisture sensitivity of feather keratin/polyvinyl alcohol/tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (FK/PVA/Tris) blend films hinders their application in the packaging field. Thus, in order to improve the water resistance and mechanical properties of such blend films, we attempted cross-linking the...
