We demonstrate that zein-jute fiber composites developed using water plasticized zein as matrix can have substantially higher flexural and tensile properties than composites obtained using polypropylene as matrix. Zein is a plant protein that has been used to develop various types of thermoplastic products. Zein can be extracted from corn distillers dried grains (DDG) with potentially much lower cost...
This paper reports the development of green thermoplastics from corn distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) using a novel method of simultaneous acetylation of the carbohydrates and proteins in oil-and-zein-free DDGS. DDGS is an inexpensive and abundant co-product of ethanol production with limited industrial applications. However, DDGS is a mixture of carbohydrates and proteins and current...
