Green composites: Polymer composites and the environment

Edited by C Baillie, Queen\'s University, Canada

There is an increasing movement of scientists and engineers who are dedicated to
minimising the environmental impact of polymer composite production. Life cycle
assessment is of paramount importance at every stage of a product's life, from
initial synthesis through to final disposal and a sustainable society needs
environmentally safe materials and processing methods. With an internationally
recognised team of contributors, Green Composites examines fibre reinforced polymer
composite production and explains how environmental footprints can be diminished at
every stage of the life cycle.

The introductory chapters of Green composites look at why we should consider green
composites, their design and life cycle assessment. The properties of natural fibre
sources such as cellulose and wood are then discussed. Chapter 6 examines recyclable
synthetic fibre-thermoplastic composites as an alternative solution and polymers
derived from natural sources are covered in Chapter 7. The factors that influence
the properties of these natural composites and natural fibre thermoplastic
composites are detailed in Chapters 8 and 9. The final four chapters consider clean
processing, applications, recycling, degradation and reprocessing.

Green composites is an essential guide for agricultural crop producers, government
agricultural departments, automotive companies, composite producers and material
scientists all dedicated to the promotion and practice of eco-friendly materials and
production methods.
