Biocomposites: Prospects and Manifold Applications for Human and Environmental Sustainability

Abstract

Bio-polymers composites have gained much popularity for the development of eco-friendly devices and biodegradable products. A clean, pollution-free environment and reduction of waste materials are the need of the hour. Being biocompatible and biodegradable, these polymers offer a solution. The utilization of bio-polymers composite is not limited to an alternative to petrochemical-based material but these are progressively being equipped in electronics, medicine, pharmaceutics, construction, automobile, packaging, adhesive industry, and so forth. Smart bio-polymers are lightweight, possess higher strength, good thermal properties, low density, and require less energy while integrating and assembling. As green technology is the demand of the future, the production of biodegradable composites, bio-binders, and bio-fibers is the toughest challenge. This review paper strives to specifically address the electrical and mechanical properties of bio-polymers composites and their applications in electronic and mechanical industries.
