Abstract
This study focused on developing a composite material using chicken feather waste and human hair waste. The utilization of these waste products helps to address the issue of waste management and contribute to sustainability. This composite material can have various applications in industries such as construction, automotive, and packaging. The study focused on the recycling of chicken feather waste and human hair waste, which are abundantly available from salons and poultry processing. The waste materials are processed and treated to extract the fibers, which are combined with a polymer matrix to create the composite material. The resulting composite materials were tested for their mechanical and physical properties to ensure their suitability for different applications. The testing involved evaluating the tensile strength, compression test, hardness properties, water absorption and density of the composite materials. For the manufacturing of composite materials, three different compositions were considered for this study. As a result, sample A exhibits higher tensile and compression strengths (20 MPa and 112.66 MPa), while at the same time, sample C obtained a higher hardness value (Shore D 82). Water absorption percentage increased by increasing chicken feather in the composites, meanwhile density decreased by increasing chicken feathers in the composites.
