Research need from Focus Group: Incorporation of industrial crops into biocomposites

As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.

This is the problem:

This need for research has been identified in FG 40 on “Industrial crops”. If you want to know more about it, check the final report of the Focus Group.

Further research on the incorporation of industrial crops into biocomposites needed and highlighted. Although extensive research has been carried out on the numerous uses for industrial crops this area has not been exhausted yet. There is immense potential to find new areas that industrial crops can supply. Also, publishing the benefits industrial crops can bring to materials is important, e.g. incorporating miscanthus fibres into biocomposites improves the impact performance of the polymer.
