Additive Manufacturing for Biocomposites and Synthetic Composites Hardback

Additive Manufacturing for Biocomposites and Synthetic Composites focuses on processes, engineering, and product design applications of bio-composites and synthetic composites in additive manufacturing (AM).

It discusses the preparation and material characterization and selection, as well as future opportunities and challenges. Reviews the latest research on the development of composites for AM and the preparation of composite feedstocksOffers an analytical and statistical approach for the selection of composites for AM, including characterization of material propertiesEmphasizes the use of environmentally friendly compositesAnalyzes the lifecycle including costsConsiders potential new fibers, their selection, and future applicationsThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the application of advanced composite materials in AM and is aimed at researchers, engineers, and advanced students in materials and manufacturing engineering and related disciplines.
