Advances in Biocomposites and their Applications

Advances in Biocomposites and their Applications presents a detailed review of the latest progress in this important research field. The book covers various types of reinforcing agents that are used for fabricating biocomposites. Processing and fabrication methods are then discussed, along with their important mechanical, thermal, chemical, and biological properties. The book goes on to discuss various mechanisms used to improve these properties as well as various fields of application, including those in automotive, aerospace, marine, building materials, biomaterials, electrical, and electronic engineering sectors. The economic impact, safety, toxicity, and future directions for these materials are also discussed in detail.
The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, engineers, and all those working in the fields of polymer science, composite materials, and biocomposites.
