Biofoams and Biocomposites based on Wheat Gluten Proteins

Biofoams and Biocomposites based on Wheat Gluten Proteins

Novel uses of wheat gluten (WG) proteins, obtained e.g. as a coproduct from bio-ethanol production, are presented in this thesis. A flame-retardant foam was prepared via in-situ polymerization of hydrolyzed tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) in a denatured WG matrix (Paper I). The TEOS formed a well-di...
