Hardcover. Zustand: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. Natural/Biofiber composites are becoming a significant alternative to glass fiber composites in industries such as automotive, packaging, building, and consumer products. This book offers a comprehensive overview of biocomposites, featuring contributions from experts in biobased materials. It defines biocomposites and explores the integration of various natural fibers--including flax, jute, bamboo, and hemp--with polymer matrices from renewable and non-renewable sources. The text delves into the chemical properties, testing, biological synthesis, and characteristics of natural fibers compared to traditional materials, highlighting their combined properties when used with different polymers to create competitive composites. The book addresses the rise of petrochemical products and their disposal challenges, presenting biopolymers as a viable solution. It examines the biodegradability of biobased polymers based on their composition and environmental conditions. Subsequent chapters cover the benefits and applications of biodegradable polymers derived from starch, cellulose, and renewable resources. The authors conclude with insights on recent trends and future opportunities for biocomposites as alternatives to petroleum-based options. This unique resource integrates sustainability, industrial ecology, eco-efficiency, and green chemistry principles into the development of next-generation materials and processes.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Natural/Biofiber composites are emerging as a viable alternative to glass fiber composites, particularly in automotive, packaging, building, and consumer product industries, and becoming one of the fastest growing additives for thermoplastics. Natural Fibers, Biopolymers, and Biocomposites provides a clear understanding of the present state and the growing utility of biocomposites.Including contributions from experts on biobased materials, the book defines biocomposites and discusses the combination of fibers such as flax, jute, bamboo, pineapple leaf and oil palm fibers, kenaf, and industrial hemp with polymer matrices from both non-renewable and renewable resources. The authors also discuss the chemical nature, testing, biological synthesis, and properties of natural fibers in comparison to traditional materials as well as their cumulative properties when combined with various polymers to produce composite materials that are competitive with synthetic composites. Natural Fibers, Biopolymers, and Biocomposites explains the rise of petrochemical and plastic products, the problems associated in their disposal, and how biopolymers offer a realistic solution to these problems. It analyzes the varying degrees biodegradability in biobased polymers depending on their composition and structure as well as the environment in which they are placed. Subsequent chapters discuss the advantages and applications of biodegradable polymers derived from starch and cellulose, soybeans, and even from renewable resources and petroleum. The authors conclude with recent trends and opportunities for the future use of biocomposites as alternatives to petroleum-based composites. The only source available today that focuses on biobased materials, Natural Fibers, Biopolymers, and Biocomposites integrates the principles of sustainability, industrial ecology, eco-efficiency, and green chemistry and engineering into the development of the next generation of materials, products, and processes. …
