Biocomposites in Manufacturing: Properties, Processes and Industrial Applications presents the latest developments in this important research field. All the different manufacturing steps for the production of biocomposite products are covered, from extraction of the plants to the finishing of the final product, such as machining. The book also highlights innovative industrial applications that have recently appeared due to renewed interest from industry and academia.

It will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists, engineers, and all those working in industrial R&D in the development of composite materials, specifically biocomposites (natural fiber reinforced composites) for a broad range of industrial applications including aerospace, automotive, marine, energy, construction, and sporting equipment.
