• Why green(er) materials?
• Challenges/problems with renewable
• Bacterial cellulose as building block
• Examples:
1.Fully renewable nanocomposites
2.Utilising bacteria to modify fibre surfaces or a route to incorporate nanomaterials into composites Green hierarchical composites
3.Renewable macroporous polymer composites

Legal requirements in EU:
Legislative Pressures!
• End-of-Life Vehicle Directive 2000/53/EC
legislation to encourage re-use, recycling and other forms of recovery of ELVs and ban certain hazardous substances
• Directive on the Landfill of Waste 1999/31/EC
legislation to prevent or reduce negative effects on the environment from landfilling of waste
• Directive on Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment(WEEE) 2002/95/EC & 2002/96/EC
legislation to tackle rapidly increasing waste stream of EEE & to reduce landfill & incineration of waste. Enforces recycling of EEE to limit the total quantity of waste going to final disposal.
ALL enforce very high recycling targets!

Our Motivation:
It is clear - new materials are needed!
- Recyclable or made from renewable resources with triggered biodegradability
with mechanical performance of commonly used engineering materials

Does the improved interaction between fibres and matrix translate result in better composite properties?

Conclusion!
Bio-polymer matrix
Natural Fibre
Introduction of bacterial cellulose onto
natural fibres allows to create
Nano-sized bacterial cellulose
This leads to …
better Interfacial Adhesion between NF and renewable polymers (CAB & PLLA)
bacterial cellulose directly reinforces polymer matrix
& eventually to
UD sisal/PLLA composites with better performance!!
& even improved short sisal fibre/CAB composites
Hierarchical composite structures
