The Viscocomp project will develop a new generation of high performance, renewable reinforcements for biocomposites, based on regenerated cellulose fibres such as high tenacity viscose. These fibres, whilst 100% derived from renewable cellulose (e.g. wood), have the appearance, quality and consistency of synthetic fibres and higher impact resistance and potentially lower cost than natural bast fibres such as flax. Therefore Viscocomp will significantly increase the uptake of sustainable natural fibres as replacements to synthetic fibres such as glass and carbon which are heavier, non-renewable and have high embodied energy. This will reduce the environmental impact of a range of products in the automotive, marine, mass transport and construction sector, during manufacture, use and at end-of-life.

Viscocomp项目将开发新一代高性能、可再生的生物复合材料增强材料，基于再生纤维素纤维，如高强度粘胶纤维。这些纤维虽然100%源自可再生纤维素（例如木材），但具有合成纤维的外观、质量和一致性，以及比天然韧皮纤维（例如亚麻）更高的抗冲击性和潜在更低的成本。因此，Viscocomp将大大增加可持续天然纤维的使用，作为玻璃和碳等合成纤维的替代品，这些合成纤维更重，不可再生，具有高能量。这将减少汽车、船舶、公共交通和建筑领域的一系列产品在制造、使用和报废过程中对环境的影响。
