Natural Materials-based Green Composites 1: Plant Fibers delves into a comprehensive exploration of various significant plant fiber-based materials, encompassing wood fibers, vegetable fibers, jute fibers, stalk fibers, and hemp fibers. This book serves as an introductory guide, presenting comprehensive information and diverse innovative applications of these essential plant fiber-based materials. It delves into the structure of these fibers, highlighting their unique characteristics and potential uses. Furthermore, it discusses the microstructure of wood and the mechanical properties of green wood-based composites (GWC), emphasizing their eco-friendly applications as building materials. Additionally, the book explores the use of green composites in wastewater treatment and explores seaweed and cotton fibers for their applications as adhesive and in reinforcement.

To complement this knowledge, Natural Materials-based Green Composites 2: Biomass takes a broader approach, covering a wide range of material types. It encompasses natural fiber reinforced polymer composites, particulate composites, fiberboard, wood fiber composites, and plywood composite, all of which utilize natural, renewable, and biodegradable agricultural biomass. This second volume provides in-depth insights into the utilization of these materials, exploring their potential for sustainable and environmentally friendly applications.

Together, Natural Materials-based Green Composites 1: Plant Fibers and Natural Materials-based Green Composites 2: Biomass offer a comprehensive and authoritative exploration of the world of plant fiber-based materials and their applications in green composites. These books serve as valuable resources for researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts in the field, providing valuable insights and knowledge for the development of sustainable and eco-friendly materials.
