✦ Synopsis

The applications of biocomposite materials are increasing in aerospace, automobile, and household items due to their biodegradable, renewable, non-corrosion, and high strength to weight ratio properties. The processing and characterization of biofiberreinforced biocomposite materials are vital for their strength and performance. This book discusses the properties, chemical treatment, and compatibility of biofi bers with materials.
Research on biofibers reinforced biocomposites for automotive and daily life applications is discussed.
Demonstrates systematic approaches and investigations on design, development, characterization and applications of biocomposite materials.
