Handbook of Composites from Renewable Materials, Structure and Chemistry

Angebote / Angebote:

This unique multidisciplinary 8-volume set focuses on the emerging issues concerning synthesis, characterization, design, manufacturing and various other aspects of composite materials from renewable materials and provides a shared platform for both researcher and industry. The Handbook of Composites from Renewable Materials comprises a set of 8 individual volumes that brings an interdisciplinary perspective to accomplish a more detailed understanding of the interplay between the synthesis, structure, characterization, processing, applications and performance of these advanced materials. The Handbook comprises 169 chapters from world renowned experts covering a multitude of natural polymers/ reinforcement/ fillers and biodegradable materials. Volume 1 is solely focused on the Structure and Chemistry of renewable materials. Some of the important topics include but not limited to: carbon fibers from sustainable resources, polylactic acid composites and composite foams based on natural fibres, composites materials from other than cellulosic resources, microcrystalline cellulose and related polymer composites, tannin-based foam, renewable feedstock vanillin derived polymer and composites, silk biocomposites, bioderived adhesives and matrix polymers, biomass-based formaldehyde-free bioresin, isolation and characterization of water soluble polysaccharide, biobased fillers, keratin-based materials in biotechnology, structure of proteins adsorbed onto bioactive glasses for sustainable composite, effect of filler properties on the antioxidant response of starch composites, composite of chitosan and its derivate, magnetic biochar from discarded agricultural biomass, biodegradable polymers for protein and peptide conjugation, polyurethanes and polyurethane composites from biobased / recycled components. AudienceThis valuable reference work will be read and consulted by researchers, engineers and students both in academia and industry who are working in the field of materials science especially polymer composites/technology. Composites from renewable materials have significant industrial applications especially in the automotive, marine, aerospace, construction, wind energy and consumer goods industries.
