Kumar K., Davim J. Plant and Animal Based Composites 2021

Textbook in PDF format

The increasing demand for environmentally friendly materials and the need for cheaper fibres points the search in the direction of natural products such as bark, leaves, scales or shells. The aim of this book is to provide a forum to review the recent advances in the area of plant and animal-based composites and identify possible trends for further developments.
Comprehensive overview on sustainable composites.
Describes the common disadvantages of moisture absorption, mechanical and chemical stress.
Recent developments in plant and animal fiber-reinforced composite
Advances in animal/plant–plastic composites: preparation, characterization and applications
A review of ductile attributes of natural fiber composites
Study of plant-based fibers and resins in composites
Orthopedic application of plant-based composites: a case on orthotic calipers
Development and mechanical characterization of jute/polypropylene/coir composites
Mechanical behavior of plant-based composite: a case with rice straw
