Nevertheless, while showing good bioactivity and great drug carrier properties, keratin lacks of suitable mechanical characteristics. To overcome this drawback, keratin was blended with poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), a biodegradable and biocompatible polyester able to confer mechanical integrity to the keratin based materials.

Keratin (Ker) protein regenerated from readily available and low-cost wastes (e.g. raw wool, feathers and textile by-products) is a promising natural polymer for tissue engineering and drug delivery.
