Biocomposites are composites made up of renewable/non-renewable matrix polymers, reinforced by natural fibres such as cotton, jute, flax, hemp etc. Alternatively, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and polyvinyl chloride, or virgin thermo sets such as unsaturated polyesters, phenol formaldehyde, isocyanates and epoxies may be used as matrices. The matrix prevents the fibres from degrading by holding them together, thus giving a control over the life of composite. They are designed and intended to mimic living materials involved in biological processes. Hence, they have huge demand in the healthcare sector.
Biocomposites have huge application potential not only in health sector but also in automobiles, aerospace, railway coaches manufacturing and in military for construction and packaging. Extensive research is going on the biocomposites, as they are cheap, recyclable and biodegradable.
From a broad perspective, bio-composites can be categorized as green composites and hybrid composites. Green composites are called so, because of their biodegradable nature. Hybrid composites may or may not be biodegradable. Besides this, they can also be classified based on fibre used in their production, from such a perspective there can be either wood-based or non-wood based fibres. Wood based includes polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, whereas non-wood based include jute, hemp, kenaf, sisal, coir, etc.
Biocomposites can be manufactured by multiple techniques including machine press, filament winding, pultrusion, extrusion, injection moulding, compression moulding, resin transfer moulding and sheet moulding. Leaders in global biocomposites market are China, India, Australia and New Zealand. In addition, the market is divided into two separate groups as manufacturers and suppliers of biocomposites.
