Innovative Biofibers from Renewable Resources

This book will be a one-stop-shop for readers seeking information on biofibers that are sustainable and environmentally friendly and those that can replace the non-renewable synthetic polymer based fibers. Emphasis will be on fibers that are derived from agricultural byproducts and coproducts without the need for additional natural resources.

Comprehensive book that covers cellulose, protein, and synthetic fibers from renewable resources Emphasis on fibers obtained from agricultural byproducts and coproducts Written by experts who have a combined knowledge of more than 50 years in the area Includes applications of biofibers in textile, composite, medical, and biotechnology industries Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
