The book collects the most state-of-the-art works related to the natural fiber composites in a Special Issue entitled "Natural Fiber Biocomposites". These works address all the issues related the manufacturing of natural fiber composite products, from (1) raw materials, such as wood, flax fiber, and cellulose nanofiber; to the (2) raw material treatments, such as furfuryl alcohol pretreatment, ultrasonic vibration treatment (UVT), and extraction method for the resins; to the (3) process of the composites fabrication, such as thermo-hygro-mechanical densification; and to the (4) performance of the composites, including mechanical, moisture absorption, opacity, thermal, and biodegradability. Discussions on the adhesives/resins used in the natural fiber composites fabrication, such as dried distiller's grains and solubles (DDGS), pennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) press cakes (PPC), and lesquerella [Lesquerella fendleri (A. Gary) S. Watson] press cake (LPC), starch, and polylactic acid (PLA), are also part of the book. It is believed the technical information presented in this book will contribute to the development of the bio-based composites. 606 $aResearch and information: general$2bicssc 610 $abiocomposite 610 $abiodegradability 610 $abionanocomposites 610 $aby-products 610 $acellulose 610 $acellulosic fibers 610 $adensification 610 $adensity 610 $adurability 610 $afiber size 610 $aflax 610 $aflexural properties 610 $agas permeability 610 $agreen composites 610 $ahot-pressing process 610 $amat porosity 610 $amat thermal conductivity 610 $amechanical properties 610 $amodulus of elasticity 610 $amodulus of rupture 610 $amoisture absorption 610 $ananofiber cellulose 610 $anon-dietetic uses 610 $aopacity 610 $apanels 610 $aPLA 610 $astarch 610 $athermal conductivity 610 $athermoplastic composites 610 $athermoplastic starch 610 $aultrasonic vibration time 610 $aultrasonication 610 $awater hyacinth 610 $awater uptake 615 7$aResearch and information: general 700 $aShi$b Sheldon$4edt$01311293 702 $aShi$b Sheldon$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557797503321 996 $aNatural Fibre Biocomposites$93030207 997 $aUNINA
