Abstract

This research article increasingly search the innovation and personation of novel complex for sustainable automotive factor. The field aims to handle the develop requirement for stuff in the automotive industry by developing composites that equilibrise mechanical execution with biodegradability. The methodology involves the synthesis of polymer matrices reinforce with natural fibers, follow by,; and abasement examination. Effect course bespeak mechanical prop comparable to schematic non-biodegradable composite, accelerate degradation under control term. The finding suggest that these composite can attend as choice for covering, bestow to sustainability goals without compromising operation. Next workplace will focalise on optimise material formulations and descale production processes.
