A Review of Hybrid polymer Bio-composites

Abstract

There is a large scope for polymer composites in various fields of allocations like automotive, aerospace, civil construction materials, marine applications and many more. Developing a biodegradable industry based green materials, sustainable technology and optimal processes with low ecological impact is a general societal objective but this remains a considerable challenge to achieve. Various researchers worked for development of green or bio composites which may include use of bio waste materials like coconut shell, palm fruit, egg shell, sugarcane bagasse, banana fibers, bamboo fibers, etc. There has been less progress in the application of combination or hybridization of bio waste materials as reinforcement materials for producing polymeric composites of desired characteristics. In this paper, review of hybrid polymer Bio composites is carried out in order to identify future scope to develop novel hybrid Polymer Green composite (HPGC) for industrial applications.
