dc.description.abstract | The replacement of common acrylic derivatives by biodegradable materials in the formu lation of superabsorbent materials would lessen the associated environmental impact. Moreover,
the use of by-products or biowastes from the food industry that are usually discarded would promote
a desired circular economy. The present study deals with the development of superabsorbent materi als based on a by-product from the meat industry, namely plasma protein, focusing on the effects of a
freeze-drying stage before blending with glycerol and eventual injection molding. More specifically,
this freeze-drying stage is carried out either directly on the protein flour or after its solubilization
in deionized water (10% w/w). Superabsorbent materials obtained after this solubilization-freeze drying process display higher Young’s modulus and tensile strength values, without affecting their
water uptake capacity. As greater water uptake is commonly related to poorer mechanical properties,
the proposed solubilization-freeze-drying process is a useful strategy for producing strengthened
hydrophilic materials. | es |
