This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project proposes to optimize and commercialize the manufacturing of all natural biobased composites from renewable resources. Phase I research demonstrated the technical feasibility of fabricating soybean oil based composites using a selected fiber/resin polymer composite combination. The Phase II project will focus on optimization and scale-up of the fabrication approach and process to improve the performance of the biobased composites. Further, with the help of commercial partners, Phase II work will develop a number of full scale prototype products with the following features: (1) the products contain 80% or more natural fibers and resins; (2) the products rely on economical and environmentally friendly tooling and manufacturing processing; and (3) the products comply with performance, safety, durability, and cost requirements set by end-users.The commercial applications of this project will be in a number of areas, including low cost building materials for industrial and household furniture, packaging materials, piping for remote areas and aquaculture systems. The proposed biobased composites are expected to have higher value-in-use industrial applications than their petroleum counter-parts (that is, to be available at a lower cost while offering the same functionality).

这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第二阶段项目旨在优化和商业化利用可再生资源制造所有天然生物基复合材料。第一阶段的研究表明，使用选定的纤维/树脂聚合物复合材料组合制造大豆油基复合材料的技术可行性。 第二阶段项目将重点关注制造方法和工艺的优化和扩大，以提高生物基复合材料的性能。此外，在商业合作伙伴的帮助下，第二阶段的工作将开发一批具有以下特点的全尺寸原型产品：（1）产品含有80%或更多的天然纤维和树脂;（2）产品依赖于经济和环保的工具和制造工艺;及（三）产品的性能、安全性、耐用性及成本均符合最终用户的要求。本项目的商业应用范围包括多个范畴，包括用于工业和家庭家具的低成本建筑材料、包装材料、偏远地区的管道和水产养殖系统。拟议的生物基复合材料预计将具有比石油对应物更高的工业应用价值（即，在提供相同功能的同时以更低的成本获得）。
