Abstract
The invention provides a fiber-reinforced polymer composite comprising fibers derived from mammalian hair and/or feathers, wherein the fibers have been prepared by means of a process comprising the steps of: (a) subjecting mammalian hair and/or feathers to an oxidation treatment in which the hair and/or feathers (is) are contacted with a solution, which comprises a bleaching agent; (b) separating the oxidized hair and/or feathers from the solution; and (c) drying the separated hair and/or feathers. The invention further provides processes to prepare said composite, a process to prepare said fibers, and shaped polymer products comprising said composite.
