Vinyl Ester-Based Biocomposites

by Senthil Muthu Kumar Thiagamani (Editor), Chandrasekar Muthukumar (Editor), Senthilkumar Krishnasamy (Editor) 

Vinyl Ester-Based Biocomposites provides a comprehensive review of the recent developments, characterization, and applications of natural fiber-reinforced vinyl ester biocomposites. It also addresses the importance of natural fiber reinforcement on the mechanical, thermal, and interfacial properties.

The book explores the widespread applications of natural fibre-reinforced vinyl ester composites ranging from the aerospace sector, automotive parts, construction and building materials, sports equipment, to household appliances. Investigating the moisture absorption and ageing on the physio-chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the vinyl ester-based composites, this book also considers the influence of hybridization, fibre architecture, and fiber-ply orientation.

The book serves as a useful reference for researchers, graduate students, and engineers in the field of polymer composites.
