Life Cycle Assessment of Biobased Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composites (Levenscyclusanalyse van biogebaseerde, vezelversterkte polymeercomposieten) KU Leuven
Today, global environmental issues, such as global warming and fossil depletion, drive a paradigm shift in material applications from conventional fossil sources to renewable sources. Following this trend, the topic of this thesis is to analyse the use of biobased resources for fibre reinforced composite fabrication. Currently the most widely used fibre reinforced composites are composed of glass fibre reinforcements and polymeric matrices. In ...
