Biopolymers and Biomaterials

Green Composites In Biopolymers

Green composites are composite materials that are made from the renewable resources based on biopolymers and bio-filler. The development of green composites as a substitute of Non-degradable polymers. A wide variety of biopolymers, including polysaccharides, polyesters and proteins are reported to be used as matrices. Some of the biopolymers feature low mechanical and thermic properties. In most cases additives are used to prepare these green composites and overcome the problems matches the poor biopolymer-filler interaction. Different applications as well as the improved mechanical, thermic and barrier properties of various green composite are also well defined.
