Abstract: The growing demand for sustainable engineering materials has accelerated the development of biodegradable polymer composites capable of combining structural performance with intelligent lifecycle management. In this study, a smart biodegradable agro-waste polymer composite reinforced with rice husk and sugarcane bagasse fibres was developed using a polylactic acid (PLA) matrix integrated with an embedded passive Near Field Communication (NFC) tag for digital traceability and circular economy applications. The composite containing 80 …
