Abstract
Polymeric resins, mainly thermosetting and thermoplastic polymers are the predominantly used matrix materials among the four main matrix types. The strength and stiffness of thermoset plastics (due to the crosslinks present in them) (Crosky, Soatthiyanon, Ruys, Meatherall, Potter in Natural fibre composites. Woodhead Publishing, pp. 233–270, 2014) and despite reheating thermoplastic polymers’ ability to retain their indigenous properties make them attractive choices for use in the automotive and aerospace industries (Behnam Hosseini in Fiber-reinforced nanocomposites: fundamentals and applications. Elsevier, pp. 279–299, 2020; Ghosh, Dwivedi in Processability of polymeric composites. Springer, India, pp. 179–203 2020). But these non-biodegradable materials have tremendous damaging effects on the environment. Every year tons of scrap materials are accumulated worldwide and by the end of this century, the amount is predicted to be doubled. Burning these waste materials release dioxin-like noxious substances into the environment (Behnam Hosseini in Fiber-reinforced nanocomposites: fundamentals and applications. Elsevier, pp. 279–299, 2020). With ever-increasing global warming, both manufacturers and consumers are leaning towards biodegradable resources to eliminate these problems associated with petrochemical resources (Sharif, Hoque in Bio-based polymers and nanocomposites. Springer International Publishing, pp. 1–28, 2019). Nanobiocomposites are slowly taking place of petroleum-based composites as they pose minimal danger to the environment. They are increasingly becoming popular for their versatile applications in many fields for their extraordinary properties. Their outstanding stiffness, low weight, biodegradability, strength, flexural rigidity, durability, low-corrosion, and fire-resistant properties have made them ideal for use in the automotive and aerospace industries. Here, the potential of nanobiocomposites in the automotive and space industries will be reviewed.
