Sustainable Biocomposites for Key Industrial Applications: Properties, Challenges and Opportunities presents the latest developments in this important field. The book adapts an application-orientated approach exploring the usage of plant fibre reinforced bio-derived polymer-based composites over various industrial sectors. Key topics covered include morphological aspects, manufacturing processes and their effect on overall performance, the structure-property relationship, defects and failure mechanisms, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) including machine learning (ML). The book also discusses the historical background, current trends and new developments, as well as key challenges and future perspectives that highlight environmental sustainability through recyclability and re-use linking to the circular economy. It also explores the bio-fillers/bio-plasticizer-based revolution in materials formulation and its socio-economic impact. The book will be a valuable reference resource for all those who are involved in the design and development of sustainable composite materials that will ensure their expanded usage in high-demanding, lightweight and semi-structural applications.Focuses on developing biobased composites from recycled polymers and sustainable/renewable feedstocks for expanded usage in high-demanding lightweight/semi structural applicationsDiscusses environmental performance using advanced characterization techniques and their end-of-life scenarios through life cycle assessment (LCA)Provides information on raw materials extraction, processing technologies, use and disposal relating to environmental performances of biocompositesCovers key industrial sectors including automotive, aerospace, medical, and food packing industriesHighlights valorization of agricultural residue and use for value added products that contribute towards the circular/bioeconomy
