MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611022742 A) filed by ABES Engineering College, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on Feb. 26, for 'lignocellulosic fiber-reinforced biodegradable polymer composite and method for preparing the same.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Neha Singh Raghuvanshi; Mudit Saxena; and Arpita Johri.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a lignocellulosic fiber-reinforced biodegradable polymer composite and a process and method for preparing the same. Lignocellulosic fibers are extracted from fruit pods and stem bark of Helicteresisora using mechanical separation and mild alkaline treatment to preserve natural twisted fiber morphology. The fibers are incorporated at defined proportions into biodegradable polymer matrices such as polylactic acid, starch blends, or natural rubber to produce lightweight and sustainable composites. The natural helical geometry of the fibers enhances mechanical interlocking and impact resistance without synthetic coupling agents. The invention provides an eco-friendly and scalable platform for valorisation of forest biomass waste into high-value biodegradable composite materials."
