The Naturcomp project- natural fibres eco-composite development was born from a collaborative work between Fibrauto and Fibrenamics - University of Minho, and aimed at the development of composite materials based on natural fibers (jute, sisal, flax) combined with biodegradable and/or recyclable polymers intended for the transport sector, construction and architecture.
Results
Throughout the project research and development activities were carried out to create parts in composites, reinforced by fibrous materials of natural origin, namely puffs, sinks and bus components.
