The book presents a basic and clear understanding of the most advanced developments of a wide range of functional plant fibre materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe development and utilisation of plant fibre resources are considered to be one of the strategies with most potential for reducing consumption of petrochemicals, whether for direct use to produce energy in place of oil, coal and gas, and chemicals or to develop new materials. The ready supply and low cost of these 'green' products and processes provide endless opportunities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book considers structure, processing, properties, and applications with a comprehensive examination and discussion of the structure, chemistry and behaviour of plant fibre. This is followed by basic information and a thorough understanding of functional materials directly derived from plant fibres, mainly including nanocellulose, physically and chemically treated plant fibre, cellulose film, cellulose textile, cellulose detection materials, and nanocellulose aerogel. The processing, property and application of functional plant fibre composites is then considered, including nanocellulose composite, plant fibre\/natural resin composite, wood plastic composites and long fibre composites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Professor Lihui Chen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1849952280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781849952286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Whittles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.38h x 6.35w x 1.11d","brand":"Professor Lihui Chen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993032196351,"sku":"9781849952286","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6fa7cce9-d9ce-4e8a-8268-7f6268c6f2ac.jpg?v=1683322148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/plant-fibre-professor-lihui-chen-9781849952286","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
