This technology explores advanced biopolymers as sustainable alternatives to petroleum-based polymers used in the automotive and aviation industries. Biopolymers are suitable for various automobile parts such as steering wheels, engine components, and exhaust systems, while their applications in aviation include interior panels, engine parts, and windshields. These biopolymers help reduce environmental impact and align with industry trends toward eco-friendly materials. Their widespread adoption in automobiles is already underway, but further development is needed for broader use in aviation. This research highlights the potential of biopolymers in replacing traditional plastics with the aid of modifying agents and advanced manufacturing methods.
