Chapter 6 Sustainable approaches to improve the characteristics of polymer-based composites
-
Rippin Sehgal
Abstract
Polymer-based composites or polymer-matrix composites (PMCs) are widely used in various industries due to their unique properties such as high strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance. However, there is always a need to improve their characteristics to meet the increasing demands of the market. This review article focuses on sustainable approaches that can be used to enhance the properties of PMCs. The main objective of this review is to provide an overview of the latest research in the field of sustainable approaches to improve the characteristics of PMCs. Various approaches such as the use of natural fibers, recycled materials, and bio-based resins are discussed in detail, along with their impact on the environment. The use of advanced manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing is also explored as a sustainable approach to improve the characteristics of PMCs. The review also highlights the importance of balancing sustainability with performance, as well as the need for further research to optimize these sustainable approaches. The potential benefits of sustainable approaches include reduced environmental impact, lower production costs, and increased demand for eco-friendly products. Overall, this review provides valuable insights into sustainable approaches that can be used to enhance the properties of PMCs, while also contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
