Natural Fiber Composites for a Sustainable Environment

The proposed book covers all the relevant details of Natural Fibre Composites (NFCs) commencing from the reinforcement side to its fabrication routes, mechanical, thermal, and metallurgical characterizations, machining and joining aspects (conventional, advanced and hybrid modes), surface analysis (defects and wettability characterization) and so on. It details reuse, re-manufacturing, and recycling of NFCs. Gives complete overview of the mechanical, metallurgical, and tribological aspects of natural fibre composites Includes automotive applications and potential of natural fibre composites Covers tribo, thermal and mechanical aspects apart from joining techniques Elaborate details on joining, reuse, remanufacturing, and surface modification Discusses all aspects of natural fibre composites towards sustainable manufacturing This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in sustainable composites, materials science, and polymers.
