Lignocellulosic Fibre and Biomass-Based Composite Materials: Processing, Properties and Applications

Lignocellulosic Fibre and Biomass-Based Composite Materials: Processing, Properties and Applications presents a comprehensive review on the development, characterization and applications of composite materials developed from the effective use of biomass as fillers and reinforcements to enhance material performance in industrial and manufacturing applications. Written by leading experts in the field, and covering agricultural biomass, such as rice husks, wheat straw, oil palm, date palm, kenaf, pineapple, jute, ramie, sisal, flax, hemp and doum fibers, the chapters provide cutting-edge, up-to-date research on the use of biomass in polymer composites. The book fills a gap in the published literature and provides a reference for future research on biomass-based composite materials, which are currently in demand as the need for sustainable, recyclable and eco-friendly composites continues to increase. Gathers together a wide spectrum of research on lignocellulosic fiber and biomass fillers and reinforcements used for the fabrication and synthesis of compositesPresents multidisciplinary work in relation to materials engineering, polymer chemistry and physics, materials processing, organic synthesis and industrial design and applicationsDemonstrates systematic approaches and investigations from processing, design, characterization and applications of biocomposites INDICE: 1.
