Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

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.
