Biocomposites are composite materials consisting of either a polymer matrix or a filler based on biological resources. They have been widely used in numerous applications such as storage devices, photocatalysts, packaging, furniture, biosensors, energy, construction, the automotive industry, and so on due to their great versatility and satisfactory performance. This book focuses on composites made from natural materials (natural fibers and biopolymers) and relates their physical, mechanical, electrical, structural, and biological characteristics as well as their potential applications in biomedicine, pharmaceuticals, and engineering.

Faserverstärkte Kunststoffe finden Anwendung in Luft- und Raumfahrt, Automobil, Maschinenbau und Sport. Das Anwendungspotential ist jedoch noch lange nicht erschöpft, auch wegen zu hoher Bauteil- bzw. Herstellungskosten. Um dem existierenden Kostendruck Rechnung zu tragen, gewinnen die Aspekte der Automatisierung und Effizienzsteigerung immer mehr an Bedeutung. Die Ergebnisse des Verbundprojektes FLAME zeigen, dass durch Einsatz von Mikrowellen im Prozess hier deutliche Vorteile erreicht werden. Fiber reinforced plastics are used in aerospace, automotive, mechanical engineering and sports. However, the potential of its application is far from being exhausted, due to high material and manufacturing costs amongst others. To account for the existing cost pressure, the aspects of automation and efficiency enhancement gain more and more importance. The results accomplished in the joint research project FLAME show that by using microwave processing considerable benefits can be achieved.

This book addresses the issue of designing the microstructure of fiber composite materials in order to obtain optimum performance. Besides the systematic treatment of conventional continuous and discontinuous fiber composites, the book also presents the state-of-the-art of the development of textile structural composites as well as the nonlinear elastic finite deformation theory of flexible composites. The author's experience during twenty years of research and teaching on composite materials is reflected in the broad spectrum of topics covered, including laminated composites, statistical strength theories of continuous fiber composites, short fiber composites, hybrid composites, two- and three-dimensional textile structural composites and flexible composites. This book provides the first comprehensive analysis and modeling of the thermo-mechanical behavior of fiber composites with these distinct microstructures. Overall, the inter-relationships among the processing, microstructures and properties of these materials are emphasized throughout the book. The book is intended as a text for graduate or advanced undergraduate students, but will also be an excellent reference for all materials scientists and engineers who are researching or working with these materials.
