Over the past two decades, there has been a shift in research
and industrial practice, and products traditionally manufactured
primarily from wood are increasingly combined with other nonwood
materials of either natural or synthetic origin. Wood and other
plant-based fiber is routinely combined with adhesives, polymers,
and other "ingredients" to produce composite materials.
"Introduction to Wood and Natural Fiber Composites" draws
together widely scattered information concerning fundamental
concepts and technical applications, essential to the manufacture
of wood and natural fiber composites. The topics addressed include
basic information on the chemical and physical composition of wood
and other lignocellulosic materials, the behavior of these
materials under thermocompression processes, fundamentals of
adhesion, specific adhesive systems used to manufacture composite
materials, and an overview of the industrial technologies used to
manufacture major product categories. The book concludes with a
chapter on the burgeoning field of natural fiber-plastic
composites.
"Introduction to Wood and Natural Fiber Composites" is a
valuable resource for upper-level undergraduate students and
graduate students studying forest products and wood science, as
well as for practicing professionals working in operational areas
of wood- and natural-fiber processing.
