Wool Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Thomas, Sabu; Jose, Seiko

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Wool Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites is an in-depth and practical exploration of wool-based composites, covering everything from the morphology of wool fiber to the industrial applications of wool composites. Wool has emerged in the top position for this role because of its unique characteristics. While fine wool is too costly for many such applications, coarse wool of greater than 35 microns fiber length is globally under-utilized. This pioneering book describes every form of wool composite, woven, nonwoven, felt and fiber, including different fabrication methods.

In unique detail, the international team of expert contributors describe the morphology, structure and properties of wool, methods for the chemical modification of wool, different forms of wool-polymer composites, and many exciting emerging applications.

• Provides technical details on a wide range of applications of wool-fiber polymer composites, including in construction and medicine
• Draws on an interdisciplinary panel of experts from fields such as textiles, polymer science and chemistry to create a guide for readers of all backgrounds
• Describes wool characterization techniques in detail
