Abstract
The demand of biocomposites has been increased in the past few years due to their improved mechanical properties such as light weight, high strength and thermal stability. Most of composites are not biodegradable or even recyclable damaging the flora and fauna. Several research and modification has been done to make biocomposites capable to stand against the conventional or synthetic composites and to increase spectrum of usability as biocomposites are non-toxic, ecofriendly and can be recycled or decomposed under controlled environment. The present work reports the fabrication of biocomposites from hem and hemp-linen in the form of mat from. All the samples were prepared using hand layup technique. Fabricated specimens will be subjected to various mechanical characterizations. It is expected that the present class of fabricated biocomposites will be used for wide engineering applications.
