This book provides an overview on the latest technology and applications
of bio-based fiber composite materials. It covers the mechanical and
thermal properties of bio-fibers for polymeric resins and explains the
different pre-treatment methods used by the researchers for the
enhancement. In addition, this book also presents a complete analysis on
the tribological behavior of bio-fiber reinforced polymer composites to
appreciate the friction and wear behavior. This book would be a handy to
the industrial practitioners and researchers in the direction of
achieving optimum design for the components made of natural fiber based
polymer matrix composites.
