Description
Concerns about the environment and the increasing awareness around sustainability are driving the push for developing new materials that incorporate renewable sustainable resources. This book presents emerging economic and environmentally-friendly lignocellulosic polymer composites materials that are free from side effects found in traditional synthetic materials. It brings together a large panel of highly-accomplished leading experts in the field of lignocellulosic polymers and composites from academia, government, as well as research institutions across the globe. The 23 chapters encompass basic studies including the preparation, characterization, properties and theory of polymers along with applications, while addressing emerging topics of novel issues.
In particular, Lignocellulosic Polymer Composites includes::
• Detailed information and a clear understanding of the present state and the growing utility of lignocellulosic materials from various natural resources that are both biodegradable and bio-based
• Chemical modification of cellulosic materials for advanced composites
• The fundamental properties of lignocellulosic polymers in comparison to traditional synthetic materials
• An exploration of the various processing/ mechanical/ physico-chemical aspects of lignocellulosic polymer composites
• Reviews of the applications especially in the transportation, construction, and packaging industries
