Produktbeschreibung

With the increasingly stringent environmental laws and because governments around the world are pushing for policies which are better for the environment, natural fibers will play a huge role in the future of Composite industry. Natural fibers have the advantage of being biodegradable and can be used for thermal energy at end of their life cycle, thus not adding to the landfill crisis. This book brings clarity on this subject and the sections in this book are carefully planned in order to clear ambiguity regarding natural fibers and its application. There are 16 fibers which are discussed in detail in this book, namely: Cotton, Kapok, Sisal, Pineapple Leaf Fiber, Jute, Banana, Hemp, Kenaf, Coconut/Coir, Rye, Oat, Maize, Rice, Bamboo, Hair & Wool. Each chapter goes in detail about the Types, Properties, Extraction and Applications of these Fibers. There are special chapters such as History of composites which bring to light the history, of how composites were stumbled upon. All inall this publication also serves as a reference material for doctoral student, professors, scholars, academic institutions, teachers; and anyone interested in furthering understanding of natural fibers.
