Use of natural fiber reinforced bio-based polymers for high-performance structure design
• Environmental concerns incentivize the use of natural fiber reinforced polymers composites as an alternative to synthetic and non-renewable materials.
• The large-scale use of biocomposites in structural and outdoor applications has been limited by weathering effects on their mechanical properties.
This project aims to perform an experimental investigation into the use of natural fibres and bio-based polymers in outdoor structures such as a solar panel support truss systems.
