Purpose – This paper aims to use the solvent–casting evaporation method to prepare new bio-composites with thermoplastic poly(ether urethane) (TPU-polyether) as the polymer matrix and reinforced with natural chicken feather fibre (CFF). Design/methodology/approach – To produce the bio-composites, 0...
