MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511133349 A) filed by Abes Engineering College, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'biodegradable composite material reinforced with fibres extracted from hibiscus rosa-sinensis stem biomass.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Neha Singh Raghuvanshi; Mudit Saxena; and Arpita Johri.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a biodegradable composite material reinforced with natural fibers extracted from the woody stems of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis. The process includes alkali delignification, mechanical separation of cellulose-rich fibers, and optional surface modification to enhance compatibility with an epoxy resin matrix. The fibers are uniformly dispersed within the resin to produce a lightweight, durable, and eco-friendly composite exhibiting enhanced tensile strength, stiffness, and thermal stability. The material utilizes agricultural waste biomass, providing a sustainable alternative to synthetic fiber-reinforced plastics. The composite is suitable for automotive components, construction materials, consumer products, and other environmentally responsible applications."
