Finite Element Analysis of Polymers and its Composites offers up-to-date and significant findings on the finite element analysis of polymers and its composite materials. It is important to point out that to date there are no books that have been published on this concept. Thus, academicians, researchers, scientists, engineers, and students in the similar field will benefit from this highly applications-oriented book that summarizes the experimental, mathematical, and numerical analysis of polymers and composite materials through the finite element method.The book provides detailed and comprehensive information on mechanical properties, fatigue and creep behavior, thermal behavior, vibrational analysis, testing methods, and their modeling techniques. In addition, the book lists the main industrial sectors in which polymers and composite materials simulation is used, and their gains from it, including aeronautics, medical, aerospace, automotive, naval, energy, civil, sports, manufacturing, and even electronics.

Surface Modification and Coating of Fibers, Polymers, and Composites: Techniques, Properties, and Applications outlines techniques, concepts, characterization, and applications of surface modification for fibers, polymers, and coated fiber-reinforced composites allowing for precision engineering of the mechanical and thermal properties, electrical conductivity, and chemical resistance of these materials. A broad range of fiber types are covered and the book highlights how surface modification enhances the durability and sustainability of them.The book starts with chapters that discuss surface modification techniques for a range of different fibers and composites, including animal-based, mineral, leaf-based, root-based, and more. The next section of the book covers surface coating techniques as well as morphology, characterization, and computational modeling of surface-coated materials, and the book concludes with a section that outlines the properties and applications of coated fiber composites.

This proceedings book contains papers presented at the International Conference on Eco-friendly Fibers and Polymeric Materials (LSPM23) held on EFPM 2024, 19–20 February, Bangkok, Thailand. The papers in this book are presented by academics and industrial practitioners showcasing the latest technological advancements and applications of environmentally friendly polymeric materials with an emphasis on the production of bio-based fibers and polymers are greatly enlarging its range of applications in different industrial sectors including automobiles, sports, architecture, design, and many others. The content of this book appeals to academia and industrial researchers from the fields of polymer chemistry, physics, and materials science.
