Chicken feather fibers (CFFs) have potential application in light weight composites. We investigated the physical properties of epoxy polymer composites reinforced with CFFs and glass fibers. CFFs or hybrid fiber (glass fiber and CFFs) composites reduced the density upto 30-40% when compared with glass fiber reinforced composites. The CFF composites has a storage modulus of about 3.5 GPa and a flexural strength of about 50-80 MPa. The hybrid fiber composite has better mechanical properties than CFF composites while having increased bio-based content. This study demonstrated a new way to utilize CFFs.
