Book synopsis

The usage of biocomposites has increased significantly over recent years mainly due to the advantages these materials have when compared to synthetic composites such as (i) renewable (ii) eco-friendly, (iii) biodegradable, and (iv) non-toxicity. These advantages will help to attract wider use in more lightweight-based applications such as (i) construction and building (ii) biomedical (iii) transportation (automotive, marine, and aerospace), and (iv) in food packaging. The usage of biocomposites is expected to grow considerably over the next decade. The editors state that before using biocomposites in any type of application, evaluation of their properties and performance, needs to be mandatory. The researcher needs to understand and evaluate the performance of these materials, their processing conditions, structure, and property relations. Biocomposites: Material Properties, Recent Advancements and their Applications reviews in significant detail the properties and performance of these materials with a focus on their intended application. For example, in construction and building, detailed knowledge is needed on conventional testing analysis, crushing and flexural strength as well as natural weathering, recycling, and reuse properties too. For biomedical applications, the researcher needs a broad understanding of conceptual design, physico-chemical properties, and cytotoxicity (orthopedic implants) too. Conductivity is also important for electronics and biosensors, and wear performance, damping analysis, crashworthiness, fatigue, fire properties, and impact studies for transportation. In the case of food packaging, biodegradability, antimicrobial, thermal and optical properties are relevant too. With its overall focus on materials requirements, and factors governing the durability and properties of these materials, as well as recent advancements in design and fabrication, readers will gain an in-depth knowledge of recent research progress in a broad range of diversified applications fields. Covers recent applications in construction, transportation, food packaging and biomedical sectors Focuses on materials requirements, factors governing the properties of these materials and durability Discusses factors effecting processing conditions and recent advancements in design and fabrication Each chapter contains a detailed outline of experimental research
