Lightweight and Sustainable Composite Materials: Preparation, Properties and Applications

Lightweight and sustainable composite materials are used in a broad range of different application fields. For example, in packaging, automotive and aerospace sectors, household appliances, sporting goods, and civil and biomedical applications. Recent studies on these materials reveal that they process excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties as well as improving environmental sustainability. The combination of being both lightweight and sustainable results in unique properties that make them suitable for a broad range of advanced commercial engineering applications. Lightweight and Sustainable Composites Materials focuses on the synthesis, processing, and characterization of these materials, their environmental sustainability features, compatibility with composites and their broad range of commercial and industrial application fields. The book will be a valuable reference resource for academic and industrial researchers, and material scientists and engineers working in the development of lightweight and sustainable composite materials.
