Tribology of Natural Fiber Polymer Composites, Second Edition covers the availability and processing of natural fiber polymer composites and their structural, thermal, mechanical and tribological properties and performance. Environmental concerns are driving demand for biodegradable materials such as plant-based, natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites. These composites are fast replacing conventional materials in many industrial applications, especially in automobiles, where tribology (friction, lubrication and wear) is an important aspect. Provides enhanced coverage on industrially relevant fiber types, such as flax, hemp, kenaf, rice, grain husk and pyrolyzed fibersIncludes an emphasis on modeling and the simulation of the wear resistance of fibersDiscusses the effect of aging in various environments and different results in wear and friction performance INDICE: 1.
