Abstract
The attention of most traditional fiber composites research goes to optimizing the mechanical properties as the typical applications for fiber composites are found in the
transportation and wind turbine industries, where the necessity of light, strong and form-flexible materials helps to optimize the strength and shape in order to increase the efficiency of the systems. It is believed that the market potential for fiber composites can increase by recognizing the existence and consequence of a visual value, regarded as just as important as traditional properties. This article includes two studies within the emerging field of visual and bio-composites and aims to establish a foundation for changing the perception of fiber composites and its applications.
