To increase the use of these materials more information is needed on their properties, characterization, processing, safety, and sustainability.
Natural Fibre-Reinforced PLA Composites: Processing, Characterization and Applications reviews the thermal, physico-chemical, fire retardant, mechanical, tribological, biodegradable and anti-microbial properties of these materials. Fabrication of PLA biocomposites using advanced fabrication techniques like additive manufacturing and electrospinning are also discussed in detail.
The book will be a valuable reference for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and engineers working in the development of polymers, bioplastics, polymer composites and biocomposites as well as industrial manufacturers.
- Covers all aspects of polylactide biocomposites, and discusses their properties and characterization
- Discusses compostability, the influence of water uptake, and other aging conditions
- Covers Lifecycle assessment, end of life options and recycling of bio-based products from PLA
- Discusses Socioeconomic aspects, sustainability, and future-prospects
