Sustainable Biopolymer Composites: Biocompatibility, Self-healing, Modeling, Repair and Recyclability

Sustainable Advanced Bio-Polymer Composites: Biocompatibility, Self-healing, Modeling, Repair and Recyclability focuses on sustainable polymer composites also referred to as bio- composites. Vital aspects such as biodegradability, bio-compatibility, repair and recyclability are discussed in detail. Complexities like rapid and scalable processing, onsite repair, and minimal environmental effects (reduced carbon emission) are also covered as well as discussion on the appropriateness of advanced polymer composites for structural applications in automotive, aviation, and the marine industry. The composites repair process is extremely complex, and it is essential to have a comprehensive understanding of the damage mechanisms in order to apply the most suitable repair technique. Damage assessment using onsite inspection e.g. NDT, THz techniques and the automated repair process for reliability and repeatability are vital parameters when executing bonded composites repair. Furthermore, overall integrity and structural health monitoring of composites repair is also necessary. Sustainable Biopolymer Composites: Biocompatibility, Self-healing, Modeling, Repair and Recyclability contains key chapters on modeling and simulation of composites damage mechanisms with respect to the specific environment and application. Processing and damage mechanisms are also discussed as well as self-healing properties. The book will be an indispensable resource for the growing number of scientists, engineers, physicists, and chemists, who are interested in the preparation, applications and repair analysis of bio-based composites and nano-composites for different types of final application. It will also be useful for industrial scientists who are active in the formulation, fabrication and repair of polymer products based on renewable resources.
