Article Synopsis
- Biobased composites present a sustainable alternative to fossil-fuel-based materials, but their widespread use is limited by how people perceive them.
- This study uses the Semantic Differential method to explore how visual and tactile evaluations shape the perception of biobased composites, revealing distinct sensory clusters and relationships.
- Understanding the visual and tactile traits that influence perceptions of beauty, naturality, and value can guide the design of more appealing sustainable materials for consumers and designers.
