Sustainable structural and multifunctional biocomposites from hybrid natural fibres and bio-based polymers
Sustainable structural and multifunctional biocomposites from hybrid natural fibres and bio-based polymers
The SSUCHY project seeks to contribute to developing bio-based composite products with advanced functionalities and high structural properties for transportation sectors and in high value market niches.
It will create opportunities to expand market applications for bio-based composites to semi-structural and functional applications in ground transportation and aerospace along with new opportunities in high value niches such as acoustics and electronic sectors.
It aims to exploit the intrinsic and differentiating properties of plant fibres and bio-based polymers to develop and enhance the functionalities of bio-based composites.
The SSUCHY project has five core objectives:
The SSUCHY project expects to have the following impacts:
