Biocomposites in Manufacturing

Biocomposites in Manufacturing, 1st Edition, edited by Faissal Chegdani and Mohamed El Mansori, is a reference work on natural-fiber composite processing and applications. Published by Woodhead Publishing, the volume provides technical research for academic researchers, industrial researchers, materials scientists, engineers, and industrial R&D professionals.

The volume covers the complete manufacturing workflow of biocomposite materials, starting with plant fiber extraction and surface preparation before moving to consolidation and final product machining. Core chapters contrast thermoset and thermoplastic matrix systems, address fiber and matrix interface improvements, and detail recent developments in additive manufacturing and 3D printing of biocomposites.

By detailing material behaviors under actual processing conditions, the text connects composite synthesis to commercial end uses. The analysis emphasizes deployment across six key industrial fields: aerospace, automotive, marine, energy, construction, and sporting equipment.
