Preface
In current times, natural fibres are coming up as a promising material for various industrial applications. One can realize the importance of natural fibre-based products from the numerous published articles and filed patents during the last few years. A number of natural fibre-based technical products are already available in the market. Nevertheless, in spite of several attractive properties, coupled with low cost and environmental benefits, the growth of natural fibre market is restricted due to a number of technical and political issues. A great deal of efforts has been directed towards analysing these various factors and developing new approaches to overcome these problems. Moreover, research and innovations on extracting or exploring new fibres, new products and applications are being highly encouraged to improve the market growth of natural fibres. The present book discusses all these issues related to natural fibre in a single volume, providing up-to-date information and current s
