The Potential of Hemp

Materials Research

2019 - Now

I’ve been researching the potential of hemp for industrial use for about 3 years. This has involved mapping out the potential of the material, and proposals for biocomposites, including pressed chairs and a bio-timber material which could emulate exotic timbers.
