Description
Summary:	This paper deals with the usage of fibrous fermentation residue as raw material for sustainable composites. At the moment this plant-based biomass is not used for industrial applications. The material was ground and mixed with two different bio-based epoxy resins and a petroleum-based one for comparison. Two different particle volume ratios were tested to get an impression about the behavior of the residue in a composite. First results show that it is possible to produce completely impregnated residue composites. The properties of the composite show a high potential of this material for lifestyle products and furniture sector.
