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.Research & information: generalbicsscflax FRPbasalt FRPglass FRPwood beambendinghybrid FRPflax fibernano-claywater uptakehygrothermal propertiescoaxial electrospinninglength of straight fluid jetspreading anglenanoribbonslinear relationshipcuraua fibersgraphene oxide coatingepoxy compositesballistic performancerecycled cotton fibersstiffnessmicromechanicsYoung's moduluspolymer matrix compositesflax fiberssurface treatmentsadhesionpolymer-matrix composites (PMCs)composite laminateslow-velocity impactdelaminationX-ray micro CTpolypropylenebasalt fiberscomposite laminateflexuralimpact damagedog wool fibersfillerspolyurethaneeco-compositesrenewable resourcespoly(lactic acid)poly(butylene succinate)plasticizer migrationdiffusionnatural fibre compositesmechanical propertieselastic behaviourviscous responseempty fruit bunch fiber (EFB)polybutylene succinate (PBS)starchglycerolcharacterizationsbiocompositepolymer BlendsMopa-Mopa resinbiobased compositefique fiberswood-plasticleather wastethermoplastic starchmechanical characterizationthermal characterizationResearch & information: generalFiore Vincenzoedt5976Fiore VincenzoothBOOK9910557123303321Natural Fibres and their Composites3030614UNINA
