BIOCOMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN

This field encompasses basic research on bio fibre, manufacturing of bio composites and design of bio composites for building components and furniture. The basic bio fiber research aspects that are emphasized include characterisations of bio fibre and quality enhancements of bio fibre. Bio composites aspects that are emphasised include optimizations of processing variables, formulations and utilizations of new resin binder, and product evaluations. Design aspects that are emphasised include developments of 3D and 4D models using CAD/CAID methodology, applications of bio composites materials and structures in the Industrialised Building Systems (IBS) and furniture, and PLC (Product-Life-Cycle) cost analysis.
