The extraction from different biomass sources (e.g. feathers, hairs, nails, horn, hoof, and claws) as well as the characterization methods of these extracted materials are explained. The development of bioproducts from keratins is challenging and limited since they are neither soluble in polar solvents nor in non-polar solvents. Therefore, the utilization of different microorganisms for the degradation of keratin is also discussed. The main aim of this book is to highlight the unique features of keratin and to update readers with the possible prospects to develop various value-added products from keratins. The book is highly interesting to researchers working in industry and academia on bioproducts, tissue engineering, biocomposites, biofilm, and biofibers. 410 0$aSpringer Series on Polymer and Composite Materials,$x2364-1878 606 $aPolymers   606 $aSustainable development 606 $aBiochemical engineering 606 $aEnvironmental chemistry 606 $aBioorganic chemistry 606 $aPolymer Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aBiochemical Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C12029 606 $aEnvironmental Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U15000 606 $aBioorganic Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C19010 615 0$aPolymers  . 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aBiochemical engineering. 615 0$aEnvironmental chemistry. 615 0$aBioorganic chemistry. 615 14$aPolymer Sciences. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aBiochemical Engineering. 615 24$aEnvironmental Chemistry. 615 24$aBioorganic Chemistry. 676 $a668.9 702 $aSharma$b Swati$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKumar$b Ashok$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337934503321 996 $aKeratin as a Protein Biopolymer$91568726 997 $aUNINA
