Synopsis

Tribological Properties, Performance, and Applications of Biocomposites

Discover the principles and applications of biocomposites with this comprehensive guide

For decades, lightweight composites composed of synthetic fibers have found an enormous range of industrial applications, often replacing metals in various industrial processes because of their distinctive properties. However, these synthetic fibers produce considerable carbon dioxide emissions and are difficult to recycle, making them unsuited to renewable industry and the demands of a sustainable world. In recent years, polymer composites of natural fibers―called biocomposites―have been gaining popularity, presenting a superior alternative both ecologically and mechanically.

Tribological Properties, Performance, and Applications of Biocomposites provides a comprehensive overview of these natural fiber polymer composites and their properties as they behave in relate motion and interact with other substances. Drawing insights from both academic research and industry, it provides both theoretical insights and practical applications of biocomposite polymers. The result is an essential tool in updating industry with cutting-edge technology for a sustainable future.

Tribological Properties, Performance, and Applications of Biocomposites readers will also find:

Detailed discussion of biocomposites as they interact with different matrices, nanoparticles, and more
Applications for technologies in areas including dental, biomedical, and tissue engineering
An editorial team with decades of combined experience in biocomposite research

Tribological Properties, Performance, and Applications of Biocomposites is ideal for materials scientists, chemists, and engineering scientists in both academia and industry.
