This lecture explores the use of biocomposites in various applications, focusing on materials like fibers and polymers, their specific properties, and the manufacturing processes involved. It delves into the advantages and drawbacks of using biocomposites, such as high resistance, tailored stiffness, and resorption rates. The presentation covers the development of biocomposite foams, the integration of nanofibrillated cellulose, and the biomechanics of healthy tissues. It also discusses the current and future trends in biocomposites, including the use of natural fibers, thermoset and thermoplastic composites, and specific examples of biocomposite applications in different industries.
