Bamboo-Based Polymer Composites

Bamboo-Based Polymer Composites: Fundamentals, Properties, Applications and Performance presents the latest developments in this important research field. The book begins with a thorough introduction to bamboo resources, bamboo anatomy, its growth origin, and the extraction process used to obtain the fiber. Following sections cover polymer composites, the fabrication process and performance, and new progress in the isolation and functionalization of nanocellulose-based bamboo, chemical modification, manufacturing techniques, and structure-property relationships. This comprehensive resource on topics presented provides insights into potential applications for structural, construction and building materials. - Contains various case studies on concept generation, materials selection, methodology, characterization, and performance analysis to illustrate how these innovations can be applied in practice - Covers economic aspects, social and environmental concerns, lifecycle assessments, and future prospects - Solves the need for an integrated approach, with multidisciplinary working teams discussed in detail
