Preface
Natural fibers for producing biocomposites are an emerging area in polymer science. The rise in ecological anxieties has forced scientists and researchers from all over the world to find new ecological materials. Therefore, it is necessary to expand knowledge about the properties of bamboo fiber composites to expanding the range of their application. This book presents an extensive survey on recent improvements in the research and development of bamboo fibers that are used to make biocomposites in various applications, because of its outstanding features like lightweight, low cost, environmentally friendly and sustainablility. The unique feature of this book is it presents a unified knowledge of bamboo composites on the basis of synthesis, characterization, properties and applications. This book also focusses on the recent advances in bamboo fibers and its composites from renewable resources and introduces potential applications of these materials. This book gives a sound knowledge on bamboo composites to the readers with numerous example illustrations, methods and results for graduate students, researchers and industrialists. Readers will have a quick reference by exploring the research literature on the subject with commercial value-added research applications of bamboo composites.
The objective of the book is to summarize many of the recent developments in the area of bamboo composites. As the title indicates, the book will emphasize new challenges for the synthesis characterization and properties of bamboo composites.
Our book covers the void for the need of one stop reference book for the researchers. Leading researchers from industry, academy, government and private research institutions across the globe will contribute to this book. Academics, researchers, scientists, engineers and students in the field of natural fiber composites will benefit from this book which is highly application-oriented. Moreover, it will provide a cutting-edge research from around the globe on this field. Current status, trends, future directions, opportunities, etc., will be discussed in detail, making it friendly for beginners and young researchers.
