Applications

• Biomedical Applications
• A medical field profoundly known as Tissue engineering is one of the
areas where green composites are being produced for a number of
uses.
• The study of this field of medical section is to improve or regenerate
organs and tissues and their biological functions as well.
• Due to its various advantages such as biocompatibility,
biodegradability and osteoconductive properties, chitosan and its
composites have created a tremendous scientific interest in
biomedical applications.
 Biomedical Applications
• Another segment for the application of green composites in the
biomedical field are the implants and medical devices, which then
dissolve and can be absorbed into the human body.
• The most common materials used in these implants for orthopedic or
medical applications are generally metals (eg, stainless steel, cobalt
chrome, and titanium alloys), polymers and ceramics.
• zirconium-chitin composites have great potential for use in a wide
range of applications ranging from synthetic catalysis to
biocompatible materials for bone and tooth repair.
 Biomedical Applications
• Chitin and chitosan in the form of composites, gels, nanofibers, films
and nonwovens have been used in order to regenerate wounded
tissues due to their excellent biological and physicochemical
properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, nontoxicity and
antimicrobial features.
 Consumer Products
• People want to buy eco-accommodating arrangements and
administrations, leaning toward firms that are supportive of
environmental practices.
• On June 2005, NEC Corporation propelled a novel created plastic by
joining biomass-based added substances, for example, kenaf fiber and
PLA. This new composite material made of kenaf fiber-fortified PLA
was coordinating the most noteworthy rate of renewable substance
connected to any bioplastic for electronic hardware.
 Consumer Products
• NEC is focusing on high thermal conductivity PLA composites and
further examined cardanol-reinforced cellulose thermoplastics.
 Toys
• In a few cases, toys made of biocomposites present specialized, cost-
related, or natural points of interest when contrasted and customary
manufactured arrangements. That is the situation of babel pico, a
technique amusement for two players, and Kipp Ahoi, an aptitude
diversion from Ravensburger made by a wood infusion shaped
material.
 Musical Applications
• Clarinets, which are frequently produced using jeopardized African
blackwood (ABW), can be created by infusion shaping utilizing Fasal
woods.
• Alpaca utilized a carbon fiber, fiberglass and bio-derived resins to
fabricate a movement guitar, bringing about a lightweight and solid
instrument with a decent, full stable sound.
• The guitar (Clara ukulele) is produced using Ekoa-an exclusive,
sustainable material.
 Snowboards
• Magine Snowboards and Skis has built up a biocomposite snowboard
utilizing Composites Evolution's Biotex flax texture.
• Another promising application has been propelled by Northern
California-based Xboards, Inc., when it presented an eco-
accommodating snowboard produced using flax fiber composite
under the business name BioBoard".
