Figure 1. A state-of-the-art workflow for the fabrication and characterization of structural biocomposites.

Figure 1.

(A) A workflow proceeds from left to right beginning with the selection of experimental goals and source materials. After each round of biocomposite fabrication and characterization, data are gathered and used to iterate upon the next selection of experiments.

(B) A pneumatic extruder affixed to a 6-axis robotic arm extrudes hydrated biocomposites.

(C) Extruded biocomposites solidify through evaporation. Composites containing delignated cellulose, lignocellulose, and chitosan are pictured.
