Biopolymer composites: a review
Open accessAbstract
In spite of the fact that a prodigious portion of petroleum covers multitudinous products in the commercial world, its non-biodegradable characteristic is an unenviable factor. The utilization of biodegradable polymers or biopolymers is a prominent alternative to petroleum-based plastic products. Reinforcing natural fibers to biopolymer matrices significantly improves the properties of prepared plastic products. Such biopolymer composites have been developed by researchers to provide environmentally responsible materials and thereby reduce carbon footprint. Modification or functionalization of natural fibers is important to ameliorate the interfacial bonding with biopolymers, and to successfully obtain high-performance composite materials that can compete with conventional petrochemical-based polymer composite counterparts. Another widely accepted composite development technique is by combining different types of fibers into a single matrix to develop highly valued hybrid composites. The review focuses on the extraction, processing and characterization of bio-based materials; natural fibers and biopolymers, and their synergistic application and future scope as biopolymer composites in automotive and other growing sectors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
