摘要

In recent years, the use of biocomposites in structural parts is a promising alternative to synthetic composites made from carbon or glass fiber. The use of biocomposites in structural parts is currently limited to less critical applications due to their lower mechanical performance compared to synthetic composites. This study aims to addresses the current limitations of biocomposites and explore their potential use in high-performance structural part applications. The scientific panorama related to bio-composite and nano composite materials was analyzed through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology specifically for industrial applications like wind energy systems and naval construction. Moreover, this research explores also the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach in reference domain to provide a manufacturing product with more efficient and sustainable features from the environmental and economic perspective. The scientific outcome of this study is capitalized in an empirical experimentation supported by a LCA analysis that provides useful insights in identifying the better material for the research purposes.
