Are 100% Green Composites and Green Thermoplastics the New Materials for the Future?

Table 2

Average values of physical and mechanical performances of synthetic thermoplastic, thermosetting resin and our natural based thermoplastic.

Matrix	Density	Elastic modulus (Stretching) (MPa)
Synthetic thermoplastic	0.9–1.1	1000–2500
Thermosetting resin (polyester)	1.2	3000–5000
Natural based thermoplastic	1.2–1.4	100
