"This state-of the-art reference introduces the reader to the field of green composites. It covers different types of cellulosic fibers used to produce these materials and issues related to the structure-processing-properties relationship and also its life cycle assessment. Containing the latest developments in the area of green composites this book will become an important reference for any course in the field of cellulosic materials or composites." -Joao Paulo Miranda Ribeiro Borges, Faculdade de Ciencias e Tecnologia - Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal "The book has a wide range of information, due to its specific subjects from green composites domains, as well as its multidisciplinary content, being useful in various fields of study and applicability. ... Each chapter is written with teaching skills, and contains recent scientific information. Thus, the book will contribute significantly to the knowledge base of students and researchers working in the field of green materials, including physicists, chemists, engineers, bio-engineers, or biologists." --Silvia loan, "Petru Poni" Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, lasi, Romania "The book covers a wide range of issues related to green composites. It is an update and useful source of reliable information on this exciting subject field. It brings also information on the most important renewable fibre sources, which become it in a very precious book." -Claudio Del Menezzi, Adjunct Professor, DR., Dept. Forest Engineering, University of Brasilia "I will definitely have it on my shelf because it covers a wide scope of biopolymer materials. ... The book is relevant to the current research disciplines and it will extensively contribute to the scientific or engineering fields." -Dr Caroline Khoathane, Tshwane University of Technology, Pretoria, South Africa "...the ultimate goal of biopolymer-based materials research can be considered as promising future material to reduce the burning of fossil fuels. The growing use of biomass for energy would play a vital role in managing with greenhouse warming than is possible with the mounting of trees solely for carbon sequestration. Therefore, this book Green Composites from Natural Resources provides a certain platform to understand much about new micro/nano composite materials based on biopolymers and their applications including automotive, paper making, building materials, toxic ion removal, etc." -Prof. Tarun K.Maji, Department of Chemical Sciences, Tezpur University, Assam, India
