Casein and soybean protein-based thermoplastics and composites as alternative biodegradable polymers for biomedical applications

This work reports on the development and characterization of novel meltable polymers and composites based on casein and soybean proteins. The effects of inert (Al(2)O(3)) and bioactive (tricalcium phosphate) ceramic reinforcements over the mechanical performance, water absorption, and ioactivity beh...
