Abstract
Polyethylene (PE), part of the polyolefins group, is one of the major sources of commodity plastics used as the matrix in the development of biocomposite materials. PE-based biocomposites have been extensively used in both for nonstructural and structural applications, due to the low cost, recyclability, and processing advantages as compared to synthetic based composites. In this chapter, the overview on the application of PE-based biocomposites is explained which includes its role to the biocomposite formulation, various processing methods involved, and the characterization techniques applied to determine the properties of the final composites. In addition, this chapter also describes examples on the application of PE-based biocomposites in several fields such as such as structural, packaging, coating, biomedical, and medical.
