Scientist Wants Houses Made Of Chicken Feathers
Image via WikipediaA Filipino scientist says he has created a new composite building board made of chicken feathers that could be a major breakthrough for the construction industry in Asia.
The new material would be resistant to the region’s armies of termites, and could also solve a major environment problem in the Philippines by providing a way to dispose of millions of kilos of waste feathers each year.
The research done by University of the Philippines professor Menandro Acda is being heralded as economically and environmentally sound.
