“…Despite these advantages PLA has poor impact strength, thermal resistance, brittle nature thus exhibiting small elongation before break, low crystallization rate, and heat distortion temperature akin to most bio‐based materials 85 . The inclusion of polymer blends, composites and plasticization using biocompatible plasticizers can overcome these disadvantages 21,80,86,87 . Carbon nanotube (CNT)/graphene/carbon nanoparticles (NC)/carbon black is anticipated to ameliorate the electrical attributes of the FDM‐based PLA composites to be more effective in electrical applications 61 .…”

“…The most commonly used biopolymers are PLA, poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHAs), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(caprolactone) (PCL), and so on, 3D‐printed polymer products made from the materials lack mechanical strength which limits their usage to prototype models. Proper selection of feedstock with higher mechanical properties and developing polymer composites by the incorporation of reinforcements in the form of particle, fiber or nanomaterial into the composite polymer matrix improves the mechanical and functional properties of the products 7,21,42,43 . Multifarious materials such as metals, ceramics, bio‐based deposits can be chosen for the reinforcements into material matrices to enhance the desired properties 44…”

Fused deposition modeling (FDM), one among the most commonly used additive manufacturing (AM), techniques has been widely used in recent years to produce customized parts with intricate geometries, especially from thermoplastics. This method was limited in its ability to produce parts for industrial applications due to inferior properties and the poor quality of fabricated parts. Hence, researchers are being driven to discover novel materials that are viable for FDM in order to keep up with enormous demand for functional products. In the recent years, it is widely recognized that the emphasis was placed on the bio‐based polymer composite matrices rather than conventional thermoplastics due to its vital advantages that aid in the replacement of synthetic and perilous materials. On this context, this review focuses on the recent advancements in FDM printing with biomaterials. Specifically, attempts have been made to investigate and provide nutshell of 3D printing of current bio‐based nanocomposites which consist of either bio‐derived filler or polymer matrices in order to make 3D printing sustainable. The effect of fillers on the filaments and FDM based products, evolution of novel characteristics of bio nanocomposites, the printability of the developed composites and their development in leading applications were also investigated and summarized.

“…In many of the systems covered in this review, the thermosets proposed are only partially bio‐based, often involving a copolymerization with petroleum‐based monomers or modification of bio‐based molecules with non‐natural molecules. In order to improve mechanical properties while also increasing bio‐based content, a significant research effort has focused on reinforcing bio‐based thermosets with natural fibers or agricultural residues with promising results 17,142–145 …”

Environmental concerns and the need for sustainable industrial practices have sparked the search for alternative materials that offer a lower impact on the environment. Over the course of the past few decades, numerous bio‐based polymers have been developed from natural resources. Among the materials, bio‐based thermosets are of particular interest due to their increased thermal stability in comparison to thermoplastics. This review covers recent advancements made in the field of bio‐based thermosets, with a special focus devoted to resins prepared from vegetable oils, natural phenolic compounds and a selection of other thermosetting systems developed recently based on either the polymerization of multifunctional monomers or the crosslinking of linear systems. This review article concludes with a critical perspective on the environmental implications of bio‐based thermosets. © 2020 Society of Industrial Chemistry

“…This behavior is attributed to the polymer chains’ interaction with each other. This interaction in thermosets is strong covalent bonds and chains have a highly cross-linked structure [ 76 ]. Therefore, thermoset resins such as epoxy, polyester, and polyamide have excellent dimensional stability and resistance against high temperatures without losing their structural integrity.…”

Recent Progress in Hybrid Biocomposites: Mechanical Properties, Water Absorption, and Flame Retardancy

Bio-based composites are reinforced polymeric materials in which one of the matrix and reinforcement components or both are from bio-based origins. The biocomposite industry has recently drawn great attention for diverse applications, from household articles to automobiles. This is owing to their low cost, biodegradability, being lightweight, availability, and environmental concerns over synthetic and nonrenewable materials derived from limited resources like fossil fuel. The focus has slowly shifted from traditional biocomposite systems, including thermoplastic polymers reinforced with natural fibers, to more advanced systems called hybrid biocomposites. Hybridization of bio-based fibers/matrices and synthetic ones offers a new strategy to overcome the shortcomings of purely natural fibers or matrices. By incorporating two or more reinforcement types into a single composite, it is possible to not only maintain the advantages of both types but also alleviate some disadvantages of one type of reinforcement by another one. This approach leads to improvement of the mechanical and physical properties of biocomposites for extensive applications. The present review article intends to provide a general overview of selecting the materials to manufacture hybrid biocomposite systems with improved strength properties, water, and burning resistance in recent years.
