Overview of Composite Materials from Green Product in Mechanical Application

Abstract

Abstract Green composites have gotten a lot of awareness in the composite industry lately because the whole world is driving toward sustainability whereas conventional composites are usually prepared from petroleum products which are usually non-degradable and result in environmental pollution. This paper presents a succinct review of the composite materials produced from green composites with a potential of being applicable in automotive body parts, aircraft body parts, medicine, construction etc. The review classifies the different research works done into six groups, then identifies gaps in research with the aim of charting a course for future researchers. Also, the review is very essential to manufacturers as they can be kept abreast with the latest developments in green composites which could replace some of the conventional composites used in the manufacturing industry.
