Application
Description This project focuses on developing sustainable biopolymer-based composites using agricultural waste biomass. These composites combine agricultural-derived biopolymers with natural reinforcements to create lightweight materials for various applications. The review explores fabrication methods, potential applications, and the challenges and opportunities in creating these eco-friendly composites. The goal is to promote a more sustainable future by utilizing agricultural waste in bio-composite production.
Pathway Description: The process involves utilizing agricultural waste biomass to produce biopolymers, which are then combined with natural fibers to create biopolymer-based composites. These composites are fabricated using methods such as extrusion, compression molding, or injection molding. The combination of agricultural waste and biopolymers results in lightweight, eco-friendly materials. The process emphasizes sustainability by reducing waste and the need for petroleum-based resources.
