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. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aadhesion 610 $aballistic performance 610 $abasalt fibers 610 $abasalt FRP 610 $abending 610 $abiobased composite 610 $abiocomposite 610 $acharacterizations 610 $acoaxial electrospinning 610 $acomposite laminate 610 $acomposite laminates 610 $acuraua fibers 610 $adelamination 610 $adiffusion 610 $adog wool fibers 610 $aeco-composites 610 $aelastic behaviour 610 $aempty fruit bunch fiber (EFB) 610 $aepoxy composites 610 $afillers 610 $afique fibers 610 $aflax fiber 610 $aflax fibers 610 $aflax FRP 610 $aflexural 610 $aglass FRP 610 $aglycerol 610 $agraphene oxide coating 610 $ahybrid FRP 610 $ahygrothermal properties 610 $aimpact damage 610 $aleather waste 610 $alength of straight fluid jet 610 $alinear relationship 610 $alow-velocity impact 610 $amechanical characterization 610 $amechanical properties 610 $amicromechanics 610 $aMopa-Mopa resin 610 $an/a 610 $anano-clay 610 $ananoribbons 610 $anatural fibre composites 610 $aplasticizer migration 610 $apoly(butylene succinate) 610 $apoly(lactic acid) 610 $apolybutylene succinate (PBS) 610 $apolymer Blends 610 $apolymer matrix composites 610 $apolymer-matrix composites (PMCs) 610 $apolypropylene 610 $apolyurethane 610 $arecycled cotton fibers 610 $arenewable resources 610 $aspreading angle 610 $astarch 610 $astiffness 610 $asurface treatments 610 $athermal characterization 610 $athermoplastic starch 610 $aviscous response 610 $awater uptake 610 $awood beam 610 $awood-plastic 610 $aX-ray micro CT 610 $aYoung's modulus 615 7$aResearch & information: general 702 $aFiore$b Vincenzo$c(Professor of engineering)$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557123303321 996 $aNatural Fibres and their Composites$94520256 997 $aUNINA
