Overview

Randomized trial examines porcine plasma and carboxymethyl chitosan bioplastics’ absorbent performance, suggesting a sustainable alternative to polyurethane foams.

Key Points

This study aims to develop sustainable absorbent bioplastics from porcine plasma proteins and carboxymethyl chitosan, focusing on tunable porosity and performance.
Developed bioplastics using porcine plasma proteins blended with carboxymethyl chitosan.
Characterized materials with techniques including FTIR, XPS, and tensile testing, and evaluated liquid absorption capacities.
Incorporated glycerol as a plasticizer and sodium carbonate to induce porosity.
PPP-CMCH/Gly_SC formulation achieved a water uptake capacity of 3600%.
PPP-CMCH/Gly/G_SC formulation reached an absorption under load of 5.97 g/g and rewet values of 0.77 g.
FSC, CRC, and AUL values for the bioplastics were about 52%, 22%, and 100% relative to commercial polyurethane foam.
