Multitechnique Physicochemical Characterization of Horse Hoof Trimmings as Sustainable and Untapped Keratin Source. In the keratin-rich biomass scenario, horse hoof trimmings play a marginal role due to the limited volume and the scarce background on material features, despite added values such as cruelty-free, localized and routine production and traceability. This work presents a multitechnique characterization of horse hooves, including physicochemical, structural, thermal, and compositional analysis, providing a solid background knowledge of material features, mandatory for upcycling strategy definition. FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, SEM-EDX, thermogravimetric analysis, and elemen...
