FOR POTENTIAL INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

R. Deepak Joel Johnson, V. Arumuga Prabu, P. Amuthakkannan and K. Arun Prasath

Abstract

This review presents the survey of performance of biocomposites prepared using different natural fibres reinforced with polymers. Reviewing of bioresin was also done in this article to understand the importance of replacing the polyester and epoxy resin or to reduce the usage of epoxy and polyester resin to make the biocomposites which is partially biodegradable, environment friendly and also to utilize such partially biodegradable biocomposites to make products for industrial, structural and many other applications.
