Abstract
The present disclosure pertains to fiber-reinforced bio-composites incorporating agricultural waste fibers, bio-based binders, and carbon nanomaterials, and a process for their preparation. The bio-composites of the present disclosure offer superior mechanical and thermal properties while being environmentally sustainable.
Claims8
A process for preparation of a bio-composite material, the process comprising:
- a) preparing a mixture of a plant biomass, a bio-binder, and a carbon nanomaterial;
- and
- b) compressing the mixture obtained in step a) to obtain the bio-composite, wherein the mixture is compressed under a pressure of 10-20 MPa, and at a temperature of 70-100° C. for 2-10 hours.
