Beskrivning
Natural Fiber Composites: Emerging Trends and Applications presents recent developments in this important field. The book discusses the properties and applications of plant fibers used as reinforcements in composite materials. Additionally, potential applications of plant fiber-reinforced composites across various industries are discussed in detail, via practical case study examples along with the most recent developments in testing and fabrication. Valuable insights into sophisticated surface modification methods that aim to optimize composite performance by enhancing fiber-matrix adhesion are also discussed in detail. In addition to discussing challenges and optimization strategies, the book will be a valuable reference resource giving the reader (researcher and engineer) the knowledge required to fabricate environmentally sustainable composite materials that exhibit superior performance.

  • Provides an in-depth analysis on the chemical, mechanical, thermal, crystalline, and surface morphological properties of sustainable plant fibers and their use as reinforcement in composite materials
  • A variety of physical, chemical, and biological surface treatment techniques are discussed in detail
  • Investigates the utility of plant-based materials as bio-fillers/bio-plasticizers for composite applications
  • Covers Life Cycle Assessment, environmental impact, sustainability and the economic viability of substituting plant fibers for synthetic materials in composite manufacturing
