Aims to equip graduate students with a comprehensive understanding of biocomposites by exploring the integration of natural fibers, polymers, and renewable materials into composite systems. The curriculum emphasizes the critical evaluation of natural fiber types, their sources, and their physical and chemical properties, as well as the scientific principles underpinning their application in composite manufacturing. Students will delve into advanced topics such as the engineering of bioderived, thermoset, and thermoplastic matrices, alongside synthetic alternatives, to analyze how material selection impacts composite performance. By addressing emerging innovations in biocomposite development, the course fosters an appreciation for the dynamic growth potential within this field.
