Industrial Applications of Natural Fibres : Structure, Properties and Technical Applications, Hardback Book

Industrial Applications of Natural Fibres : Structure, Properties and Technical Applications Hardback

Edited by Joerg (University of Applied Sciences, Bremen) Mussig

Part of the Wiley Series in Renewable Resource series

Hardback

Description

Natural fibres are becoming increasingly popular for use in industrial applications, providing sustainable solutions to support technical innovation.

These versatile, natural based materials have applications in a wide range of industries, from textiles and consumer products to the automotive and construction industries. Industrial Applications of Natural Fibres examines the different steps of processing, from natural generation, fibre separation and fibre processing, to the manufacturing of the final product.

Each step is linked to fibre properties and characterization, highlighting how different fibres influence the product properties through a discussion of their chemical and structural qualities. Considering the value-added chain from natural generation to final product, with emphasis on quality management, this book reviews the current research and technical applications of natural fibres. Topics covered include: Introduction to the Chemistry and Biology of Natural FibresEconomic Aspects of Natural FibresVegetable FibresAnimal FibresTesting and Quality ManagementApplications: Current and Potential Industrial Application of Natural Fibres will be a valuable resource for scientists in industry and academia interested in the development of natural based materials and products.

It is particularly relevant for those working in chemical engineering, sustainable chemistry, agricultural sciences, biology and materials sciences.
