Summary Annotation The authors present a comprehensive review on the development, characterization and applications of composite materials developed from the effective use of biomass as fillers and reinforcements to enhance material performance in industrial and manufacturing applications. Written by leading experts in the field, and covering agricultural biomass, such as rice husks, wheat straw, oil palm, date palm, kenaf, pineapple, jute, ramie, sisal, flax, hemp and doum fibers, the chapters provide cutting-edge, up-to-date research on the use of biomass in polymer composites. The book fills a gap in the published literature and provides a reference for future research on biomass-based composite materials, which are currently in demand as the need for sustainable, recyclable and eco-friendly composites continues to increase.
