Preface

Green biocomposites have received attention from researchers and industries to develop biodegradable and sustainable products by using natural fibres, which possess outstanding degradable and sustainable properties. Green biocomposites-versatile materials are useful in future to help researchers, scientists and industries to understand the need of green biocomposites for utilization in development of different biodegradable and eco-friendly products. The design of biocomposites plays a crucial role to find its potentiality in different real-world applications. This book will elaborate the design of biocomposites and prospective applications with real examples. This sustainable material penetrates into the market segment and has significant potential i
