Sommario/riassunto

The first intellectual biography of the French-Jewish philosopher Sarah Kofmann (1934-1994) combines philosophical text analysis with contemporary theory of biography. The author conducts a critical revision of the postmodern maxim of the „Death of the Subject“.

Die erste Werk-Biographie zur französisch-jüdischen Philosophin Sarah Kofman (1934-1994) verbindet philosophische Textanalyse mit zeitgenössischer Biographie-Theorie. Das postmoderne Diktum vom „Tod des Subjekts“ wird dabei einer kritischen Revision unterzogen.La première biographie intellectuelle sur la philosophe franco-juive Sarah Kofman (1934-1994) relie l’analyse des textes philosophiques avec la théorie de biographie contemporaine. La phrase postmoderne déclarant la „mort du sujet“ y est soumise à un examen critique.

Sommario/riassunto

Over the last decades, natural fibers have received growing attention as alternatives to synthetic materials for the reinforcement of polymeric composites. Their specific properties, low price, health advantages, renewability and recyclability make natural fibers particularly attractive for these purposes. Furthermore, natural fibers have a CO2-neutral life cycle, in contrast to their synthetic counterparts. However, natural fibers are also widely known to possess several drawbacks, such as a hydrophilic nature, low and variable mechanical properties, poor adhesion to polymeric matrices, high susceptibility to moisture absorption and low aging resistance. Therefore, extensive research has been conducted on natural fiber-reinforced composites in the last 20 years. In this context, this book presents several interesting papers concerning the use of natural fibers for the reinforcement of polymer-based composites, with a focus on the evaluation of their mechanical performances, ballistic properties, rheological behavior, thermal insulation response and aging resistance in humid or aggressive environments.
