Abstract

With the growing concerns over environmental degradation and the increasing demand for sustainable materials, eco-friendly composites have gained considerable attention in recent years. This review paper delves into the promising realm of seed-based fillers, reinforcements and polysaccharidic matrices in the production of biocomposites that are yet focusing on those seeds, which can be considered industrial process waste. Seeds, with their inherent mechanical properties and biodegradability, which are often the waste of production systems, offer a compelling solution to reduce the environmental impact of composite materials. This paper explores the properties of various seeds considered for composite applications and investigates the processing techniques used to incorporate them into composite matrices. Furthermore, it critically analyzes the influence of seed fillers on the mechanical and physical properties of these eco-friendly composites, comparing their performance with traditional counterparts. The environmental benefits, challenges, and limitations associated with seed-based composites from waste seeds are also discussed, as well as their potential applications in diverse industries. Through an assessment of relevant case studies and research findings, this review provides valuable insights into the outlook of seed-based composites as a sustainable alternative in the composite materials landscape, emphasizing their role in promoting a greener and more responsible approach to materials engineering.
