Banana Fibres and their Composites: Processing, Design, Properties and Applications presents the latest developments in this important research field. The book begins with a detailed review of the fibre extraction and preparation process. It then goes on to provide a detailed analysis of the properties of these fibres and their fabrication and conversion into textiles and their related composites. The book is then concluded with selected case study examples of a broad range of different applications. The book will be an essential reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, materials scientists and engineers, manufacturers and all those working on the research and development of natural fibre-based composites.
