Agricultural biomass is abundant worldwide and it can be considered
as alternative source of renewable and sustainable materials which
can be used as potential materials for different applications.
Despite this enormous production of agricultural biomass, only a
small fraction of the total biomass is utilized for different
applications. Industry must be prepared to take advantage of the
situation and utilize the available biomass in the best possible
manner. Agricultural biomass such as natural fibres has been
successfully investigated as a great potential to be used as a
renewable and sustainable materials for the production of composite
materials. Natural fibres offer excellent specific properties and
have potential as outstanding reinforcing fillers in the matrix and
can be used as an alternative material for biocomposites, hybrid
composites, pulp, and paper industries. Natural fibre based polymer
composites made of jute, oil palm, flex, hemp, kenaf have a low
market cost, attractive with respect to global sustainability and
find increasing commercial use in different applications.
Agricultural biomass based composites find applications in a number
of fields viz., automotive industry and construction industry.
Future research on agricultural biomass-natural fibre based
composites should not only be limited to its automotive
applications but can be explored for its application in aircraft
components, construction industry, rural housing and biomedical
applications. In this book we will cover the chemical, physical,
thermal, electrical, and biodegradability properties of
agricultural biomass based composite materials and its different
potential applications. The main goal of this volume is to
familiarize researchers, scientists and engineers with the unique
research opportunities and potentials of agricultural biomass based
materials. Up-to-date information on alternative biomass
utilization Academic and industry leaders discuss unique properties
of biomass based composite materials Direct application of
agricultural biomass materials as sustainable and renewable
alternatives
