Natural Fiber Textile Composite Engineering sheds light on the area
of the natural fiber textile composites with new research on their
applications, the material used, the methods of preparation, the
different types of polymers, the selection of raw materials, the
elements of design the natural fiber textile polymer composites for
a particular end use, their manufacturing techniques, and finally
their life cycle assessments (LCA). The volume also addresses the
important issue in the materials science of how to utilize natural
fibers as an enhancement to composite materials. Natural
fiber-reinforced polymer composites have been proven to provide a
combination of superior mechanical property, dielectric property,
and environmental advantages such as renewability and
biodegradability. Natural fibers, some from agricultural waste
products, can replace existing metallic and plastic parts and help
to alleviate the environmental problem of increasing amounts of
agriculture residual. The book is divided into four sections,
covering: applications of natural fiber polymer composites design
of natural fiber polymer composites composite manufacturing
techniques and agriculture waste manufacturing composite material
testing methods The first section of the book deals with the
application of textile composites in the industry and the
properties of the natural fibers, providing an understanding of the
history of natural fiber composites as well as an analysis of the
different properties of different natural fibers. The second
section goes on to explain the textile composites, their
classification, different composite manufacturing techniques, and
the different pretreatment methods for the natural fibers to be
used in composite formation. It also analyzes the composite
material design under different types of loading and the mechanism
of failure of the natural fiber composite. The effect of the fiber
volume fraction of different textile structures is explained. The
third section of the book, on composite manufacturing techniques
and agriculture waste manufacturing, concerns the natural fiber
composite manufacturing techniques, agricultural waste, and the
methods of their preparation to be used successfully in the
composite, either in the form of fibers particles or nanoparticles.
The book then considers the testing methods of the different
composite components as well as the final composite materials,
giving the principle of the testing standards, either distractive
or nondestructive. This book attempts to fill the gap between the
role of the textile engineer and the role of the designer of
composites from natural fibers. It provides important information
on the application of textile composites for textile engineers,
materials engineers, and researchers in the area of composite
materials.
