ABSTRACT
Consumption of chicken and poultry is a major factor in the world's diet. But the growing popularity of eating chicken has significant negative implications for the environment, especially when it comes to waste management. And one of the most important chicken wastes is its feathers. The purpose of this study is to determine the composition of chicken feathers, density, sound absorption, heat resistance, water absorption, ambient durability, and assessment as fiber panels and classification before using them as a substitute for alternative panel materials in the community. As a result, the best composition for alternative panel materials made from chicken feathers: PVAc glue and white cement is a ratio of 70:20:10 in the manufacture of wall application panels and a ratio of 70:30 in the manufacture of finely chopped chicken feathers, and PVAc glue, and water in the manufacture of acoustic application panels. Density 0.38-0.4, the material is categorized as soft fiber board (RF) with low density and stiffness that can withstand loads up to 38.2 kg/cm2, and absorption value 峋� 0.49-0.52, can withstand heat up to 10 ℃. This study also confirms the potential of chicken feathers with adequate adhesive composition as an alternative and advanced material in the field of architecture that has met the criteria as a green panel material, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
