The project is fully integrated into the research program of the Bio-Based Industries (BBI) Joint Technology Initiatives operating under Horizon 2020, and particularly focused on BBI Value Chains 1 which is dedicated partly to the transformation of lignocellulosic feedstock to advanced bio-based materials. The project aims at exploiting the intrinsic and differentiating properties of plant fibres to develop and enhance the functionalities of bio-based composites and thus to diversify their applicative sectors. The intended application areas are transportation, civil engineering (structural parts), biomedical engineering (materials for biomedical devices), sport and nautical-leisure products. Enhanced functionalities are, in addition to load-bearing resistance and weight reduction of structures, vibration damping, multi-scale shape forming and material health monitoring based on self-sensing. Such developments would provide to the composite industry a significant value and functions added products with high socio-economic impacts and minimized environmental impact. The proposed methodology will be implemented within the framework of a multi-level eco-efficiency issue which covers experimental aspects, process optimisation, modelling and design. To raise the multi-disciplinary and multi-scale fundamental and technological barriers, mounting an ambitious and innovative project with a consortium aggregating very wide ranging skills on one hand and academics, SMEs and industries on the other hand is necessary.
