In Biocomposite processing bio-based materials are processed to composite materials. Normally these material consist of a polymeric matrix that can be fossil- or bio-based and bio-based materials fixed in this like wood dust, natural fibres, straws, rice husks, nutshells and others. Best-known biocomposites are Wood-Plastic-Composites (WPC) or Natural-fibre reinforced materials.
Feedstock
Biocomposite processing is secondary processes where a composite material is formed by a matrix (resin) and a reinforcement of natural fibers or filling with other biomass-based materials like wood dust, agricultural wastes or sidestreams from food processing like nutshells or rice husks. In principal the matrix can be a bio-based or a petro-nased resin, but normally polymers like polypropylene, polyethylene or epoxys are used as matrix material.
