These materials find a wide number of applications in such diverse fields as geotextiles, building, electronics, medical, packaging, and automobiles. This first systematic reference on the topic emphasizes the characteristics and dimension of this reinforcement. The authors are leading researchers in the field from academia, government, industry, as well as private research institutions 606 $aPolymers 606 $aComposite materials 615 0$aPolymers. 615 0$aComposite materials. 676 $a620.192 701 $aThomas$b Sabu$0851308 701 $aJoseph$b Kuruvilla$01593707 701 $aMalhotra$b S.
