Interior carpeting of a car's door made by a biocomposite of hemp fibres and polyethylene
A biocomposite is a composite material of resin plus reinforcement with natural fibers (example: hemp fibres and polyethylene). The earliest composite materials were straw and mud combined to form bricks for building construction.
Green Composites: natural fibers with biodegradable resins.
Hybrid Composites: different types of fibers (synthetic, biological) combined into a single matrix.
Examples
- Examples of natural fibers: straw fibers, bast, leaf, seed or fruit, and grass fibers.
- Most widely used: Flax, Jute, Hemp (see: hempcrete), Kenaf, Sisal and Coir.
- Many polymers, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are being used in wood composites industries.
