The objectives of this book are twofold: 1. To provide a thorough
examination of the materials science of cellulosic fibers with
emphasis on the characterization of structure-property relations,
and 2. To advance knowledge of how to best analyze cellulosic
fibrous networks and composites, and, ultimately, engineer "novel"
cellulose-based systems of superior performance and functionality.
The design of new materials through the study of living systems, or
bio-imitation, is burgeoning to become an established field,
generally referred to as biomimetics. The latter, as with materials
science, in general, prominently features multi-disciplinarity
where new developments in mathematics, physics, chemistry and
engineering continue to inspire novel areas of research and
development. The book is structured in five chapters which provide
a sequential treatment of the running theme: deformation mechanics
and the physical, morphological and mechanical characterization of
native cellulose fibers networks and composites. The heart of the
book is Chapter 3, Damage Accumulation in Fibers, which treats the
experimental methodology for fatigue testing of single fibers and
the engendered results. In-depth examinations of the morphology,
structure and chemical composition of native cellulose fibers, and
the mechanics of deformation in these natural composite fibers are
proffered in Chapters 1 and 2, respectively. The fourth chapter,
Fractal Simulation of Crack Propagation, presents a fractal-based
approach to modeling damage accumulation in materials. Fractals
lend themselves well to modeling such randomly-oriented phenomena
as crack propagation and fracture. The last chapter, Fibrous
Structures: Networks and Composites, comprises analytical
approaches for handling networks and composites.
