Some basic concepts in construction of biocomposites are discussed, such as the different types of biocomposites, the composing material classes, and the general families of production techniques. The conventional, solution-based, and additive manufacturing processing technologies for biocomposites are described and their applicability and base material requirements, ie whether they employ solutions or the undiluted composites/ compounds are explored. The technologies discussed include extrusion/injection, filament winding, compression, autoclaving, infusion, solvent casting, phase separation, electrospinning, and solid freeform fabrication. Every section elaborates on the named production process itself and the resulting biocomposite construct, offering an indication of which technique is most appropriate for given product demands.

Abstract
Some basic concepts in construction of biocomposites are discussed, such as the different types of biocomposites, the composing material classes, and the general families of production techniques. The conventional, solution-based, and additive manufacturing processing technologies for biocomposites are described and their applicability and base material requirements, ie whether they employ solutions or the undiluted composites/ compounds are explored. The technologies discussed include extrusion/injection, filament winding, compression, autoclaving, infusion, solvent casting, phase separation, electrospinning, and solid freeform fabrication. Every section elaborates on the named production process itself and the resulting biocomposite construct, offering an indication of which technique is most appropriate for given product demands.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
