The utilization of biopolymers blended with agro-industrial residues or by-products holds promise due to the potential for cost reduction and improvement of material properties. In this study, our aim was to develop biodegradable polymeric blends using PBS, starch, and oat hulls via thermoplastic injection. Seven different formulations were analyzed [F0, F20, F40, F60, F80, F100, and PBS], and various analyses were performed. The mechanical properties revealed that pure PBS and F0 presented the highest tensile strength and elongation at break respectively. Pure PBS and F100 demonstrated the lowest density. SEM of materials containing oat hulls displayed cylindrical-shaped fibers, with significant agglomeration and alignment likely due to extrusion orientation. The results demonstrate the successful production of a novel material using thermoplastic starch, PBS, and oat hulls through thermoplastic injection. These materials exhibited good processability. This presents a promising avenue for the development of cheaper and biodegradable materials with good processability to be produced in large scale, as they are environment friendly.

Natural fiber composites are receiving more and more attention because of their greenness and low cost. Among natural fibers, bamboo is characterized by fast growth, a short cultivation period, high strength and good toughness, and is one of the strongest natural fibers in the world. A bamboo-fiber-reinforced polymer composite (BFRPC) has the characteristics of high mechanical strength, low density, degradability, etc. It has the industrial applicability comparable to metal materials, the same strong corrosion resistance as composites such as glass and carbon fibers, and the same immunity to electromagnetic interference and low thermal conductivity as natural materials. Its unidirectional specific strength and unidirectional specific modulus is higher than that of glass fiber, second only to the extremely high price of carbon fiber, which is playing an increasingly important role in the field of composite materials, and can be widely used in the fields of wind power, construction, aviation, automotive, medical care and so on. At present, it has been initially used in packaging, automotive and transportation fields, and is expected to replace petroleum-based plastics in various fields. In addition to their environmental protection and green production, they have excellent physical properties. This paper provides an overview of the mechanical properties of bamboo-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites and thermoset composites that have been developed so far, such as tensile strength, flexural properties and impact strength. In addition, the prospects of bamboo-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites for automotive, packaging and agricultural applications are presented.
