Foaming Novatein thermoplastic protein
… plasticised to produce thermoplastic materials. Novatein Thermoplastic Protein (NTP) is a patented blend of blood meal (a highly aggregated protein) and processing additives which: reduce hydrogen bonding, break cross links between cysteine residues, disrupt hydrophobic interactions, and …

Biopolymer foams from Novatein thermoplastic protein and poly(lactic acid)
Novatein is the only commercial thermoplastic protein made from bloodmeal, a highly denatured protein and a readily available by-product of the meat processing industry. One of the major limitations of Novatein is its hydrophilic nature and loss of plasticizer during processing which leads to poor …

Improving Impact Properties of Novatein through Polymer Blending and Reactive Extrusion
Novatein is a brittle thermoplastic made from protein and requires impact strength modification before it can be used in a wider variety of applications, such as in the agricultural, horticultural and meat processing industries. Polymer blending is often used for improving material properties cost …

Protein-Intercalated Bentonite for Bio-composites
… as in bloodmeal-based plastic, also known as Novatein Thermoplastic Protein or NTP. In NTP, the highest improvement in tensile strength and Young’s modulus was at 23 % (11.45 MPa) and 17 % (727.45 MPa) at 0.5 parts stickwater-modified NaBt per hundred of bloodmeal (pphBM). For elongation at …

Decoloured Bloodmeal Based Bioplastic
… material is currently being commercialised as Novatein Thermoplastic Protein (NTP) and studies are working on improving its properties through production of composites and blends. In addition further studies are working on understanding its molecular structure before and after thermoplastic …
