Description
Lignocellulosic Fibre and Biomass-Based Composite Materials reviews the development, characterizationand applications of composite materials developed from the effective use of lignocellulosic fibre andbiomass. The book gathers together a wide spectrum of cutting-edge research on biomass fillers andreinforcements used for the fabrication and synthesis of composites.The book takes a systematic approach, investigating processing, design, characterization andapplications of biocomposites, in order to establish their important relationship as a general guidelinefor end-user applications. Beginning with an introduction to biomass and its composites, a team ofleading experts in the field cover rice husk, kenaf, oil palm, alfa and doum fibres, bamboo, cork, andmany other materials, considering a range of applications, along with key issues such as performance andsustainability. The groundbreaking research presented opens the door to obtaining advanced materialcharacteristics and significant enhancements in physical, mechanical, and thermal properties.This will be become an extremely useful reference and technical guide for academic and industrialresearchers in composite materials, as well as for advanced students and industrialists working inmaterial commercialization.- Gathers together a wide spectrum of research on lignocellulosic fiber and biomass fillers and reinforcements used for the fabrication and synthesis of composites- Presents multidisciplinary work in relation to materials engineering, polymer chemistry and physics, materials processing, organic synthesis and industrial design and applications- Demonstrates systematic approaches and investigations from processing, design, characterization and applications of biocomposites
