【 摘 要 】

Sustainable development of bio-composites is the solution for current ecological imbalance caused by the petroleum based synthetic materials. Synthetic fibers of conventional polymer composites are replaced by natural/biodegradable fiber resulting into bio-composites. The paper presents an overview about the development steps, manufacturing methods and characterization parameters of bio-composites. Popular manufacturing methods of bio-composites such as hand layup, injection molding, compression molding etc. have been covered briefly. It includes characterization based on mechanical, thermal and morphological parameters. The commercial and industrial application potential of bio-composites is also included.
