The Textile-based biocomposites lecture, in partnership with the be@t project, aims to share advances in textile-based biocomposites in terms of sustainability, including manufacturing methodologies such as 3D printing with natural fibres, bio-based combined yarns and bioprepregs, with the aim of inspiring various industrial sectors.

Programme contents:

  • Introduction to textile-based biocomposites (overview, main advantages, market and applications, biopolymers, natural and bio-based fibres).
  • Textile intermediate solutions for reinforcing biocomposites.
  • The be@t project and its developments:
    1.  Overview.
    2. 3D printing using natural fibres.
    3. Combined natural and bio-based yarns.
    4. Bioprepregs and Fully Bio-based Composites.
