| dc.description | We are honored to host within this monolith a unique collection of chapters that discuss polysaccharides within the context of their potential uses as fibers in industrial applications. This effort attempts to provide by virtue of the complexity of their synthesis in plants an overview of the highly multidisciplinary nature of polysaccharides’ research for fibers, and the very large variety of applications that are pressed to meet global needs, running a gamut, for example, from biotechnology to fabrics to energy. It is an enormous challenge, therefore, to future leaders especially considering persistent overpopulation and economic throes to properly realize the options available to address these needs. Therefore, this book humbly aims to contribute one additional stone to the natural resources landscape from chemical to engineering composites to medical roles of these bio-based products to applications in related and diverse fields. Various questions and answers concerning the optimization of the formulation and development technology for marketing strategy will be offered. Most importantly, fiber-based polysaccharides have replaced many of the conventional metals and/or materials in many applications. The most important advantages of using bio-based polymers are their ease of processing, availability, biodegradability, productivity, and low costs. In this book, we will cover various aspects of polysaccharides-fiber reinforced composites and address some of the basic issues for the development of such composites; types of natural fibers; chemical composition of natural fibers; microstructure of fibers and the modification of fibers through reactive extrusion techniques and how we can improve the stability of these fibers so that they can be used with engineered polymers and further the advantage of polysaccharides. | en |
