Biocomposites for Industrial Applications: Construction, Biomedical, Transportation and Food Packaging reviews, 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 and crushing and flexural strength, as well as natural weathering, recycling and reuse properties. The usage of biocomposites is expected to grow considerably over the next decade, but the book's editors note that before using biocomposites in any type of application, evaluation of their properties and performance, including processing conditions, structure, and property relations needs to be mandatory.For biomedical applications, the researcher needs a broad understanding of conceptual design, physico-chemical properties, and cytotoxicity (orthopedic implants) too. 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.
