This book provides critical insights into the properties and applications of melt-blown fibers in the polymer composite field. The book offers a comprehensive overview of the melt-blowing process and explores the intricate structure-property-parameter relationship of melt-blown fibers.  Meer

Natural fiber composites are a preferred alternative to conventional composites due to their environment-friendly nature. However, their market share is limited due to: a) limited number and quantities of natural fibers available for composites, b) diversity in fibers structure, c) poor mechanical properties of fibers as well as composites, d) susceptibility to microbial attacks, and e) cellulose degradation temperature around 200 deg C, which hinders the development of natural fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites using thermoforming at high temperatures.  Meer
