Biopolymers: overview of several properties and consequences on their applications

K. Van de Velde, Paul Kiekens · 1 Jan 2002

Recently, interest in composite manufacturing has shifted towards the use of natural fibres as reinforcement because of their environmental benefits. The use of a biodegradable matrix is worth considering since this would result in a completely biodegradable composite. In order to assess the most suitable matrix polymer, one must know the properties of the available…
