Biofiller-Reinforced Biodegradable Polymer Composites - Paperback

by R. Jumaidin (Editor), S. M. Sapuan (Editor), H. Ismail (Editor)

Presenting a comprehensive overview of the field, Biofiller-Reinforced Biodegradable Polymer Composites examines biodegradable composites derived from biofiller and biodegradable polymers while providing critical information for efficient use of biocomposites developed from natural resources.

• Discusses advanced techniques for the use of both biofiller and biodegradable polymers as the matrix for composites.
• Highlights application of both natural fiber and natural matrix for composites in the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable materials.
• Introduces the basics of biocomposites, the processing and characteristics of new composite materials, and new combinations of composites such as soy protein and nanocellulose.
• Elaborates on the introduction of new materials to develop biodegradable polymers.

This book has been written for researchers, advanced students, and professional engineers and materials scientists working in the area of bio-based polymers, natural fiber composites, and biocomposites.
