“…Besides, in a quest for environmentally friendly light-bodied cars [22], these materials offered a promise of weight and emissions regulation. Thus, the Ford motor company undertook an aggressive research into the extensive use of natural fibers in automobiles which climaxed with the unveiling of the T concept car in 1941 [23]. This had a body featuring mostly soy resin-reinforced hemp, sisal, and wheat straw composites this had its weight two thirds that of a regular car with an engine running on hemp oil fuel.…”

The article provides an overview of biocomposite application in the automotives via a documentation of their history, chronology and progressive steps taken to break into the production lines of a number of key auto makers. It offers a detailed analysis of the key factors that have motivated the research and subsequent adoption of biocomposites; taking a peek at the advantages, disadvantages, and challenges experienced in the process. Auto makers and parts suppliers that have been a force behind this campaign, have also been accorded a fair share in the article. Future projection of role of these materials in the industry; with the ideas well dressed in form of bio concept cars caps up the paper. Automotive refers to; passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, vans, trucks, buses, and recreational vehicles. POLYM. COMPOS., 38:2553–2569, 2017. © 2016 Society of Plastics Engineers

“…In situ epoxidation reaction chemistry is as per reactions [6] and [7] as discussed earlier in the text. If reaction [6] , namely, the formation of proxy acid is considered to be the rate determining step and the concentration of peroxyacid is assumed to be constant throughout the reaction, following rate laws applies.…”

Jatropha (Jatropha curcas) oil with iodine value 104 g I 2 /100 g, and containing 44.7% oleic acid and 31.4% linoleic acid, was epoxidised in situ with hydrogen peroxide (30%) and acetic/formic acid in the presence of catalytic amounts of sulphuric acid. We have compared the kinetics of epoxidation of jatropha oil (JO) by peroxyacetic and peroxyformic acids, in or without toluene at 30, 50, 70, and 85• C. The effects of temperature and various mole ratios on epoxidation rate, oxirane ring stability, and iodine value of the epoxidised oil were studied, and optimum conditions were established. The rate constants for epoxidation of JO were found to be in the range 0.22-69.4 × 10 −6 l.mol −1 .s

“…Most studies of naturally occurring organic fibers concentrate on cellulose-based fibers obtained from renewable plant resources such as wood [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], cotton [12], flax [13], sisal [14,15], jute [16], hemp [17], ramie [18], and bamboo [19]. Lundquist et al [3] were able to get modulus increases of about 4 times and yield stress increases of about 2 times using cellulose fibers of ca.…”
