Plant Tuber and Root-Based Biocomposites

Development, Characterization, and Applications

About this book

Plant Tuber and Root-based Biocomposites: Development, Characterization, and Applications discusses the latest advances in this important research field. The book details novel tuber and root-based materials individually and covers their manufacturing, characterization, and applications. Emphasis is placed on the fundamental properties of these materials to address challenges and opportunities for industrial commercialization in the future. Various applications in food, medicine, textiles, biofuel, pulp, and paper-making industries, as well as bioenergy, packaging, and automotive, are covered. - Covers the latest advances in the application of bio-based feedstocks (tubers/root fibers) for manufacturing composites - Includes materials selection, design solutions, manufacturing techniques, structural analysis, and performance of tuber and root-based composites in various applications - Explores new materials such as Dioscorea hispida, arrowroot bagasse, and cassava bagasse - Covers step-by-step procedures to develop biodegradable packaging materials such as extraction of raw materials, treatment of materials, and incorporation of additives to improve the functional properties of developed products - Includes nanobiocomposites, covers commercialization, and is a practical guide to realistic applications
