Dedication
In recent years, natural fibres have become increasingly popular for use in industrial applications, e.g.
as reinforcement for plastics. This approach is also of growing interest in light of the discussion about
sustainabilityandenvironmentalissues.Theseaspectsarecommonlynotincludedintheregularuniversity
educationforengineersandnaturalscientists.Thisbookwillexaminethevalue-addedchainofnaturalfibres
in order to bring more detailed information about this complex topic to students as well as to industry and
research. The book will enable the reader to gain a fundamental understanding of the sometimes complex
transformationofanaturalfibretofinaltechnicalproduct.
Thisbookisdedicatedtoprofessionalindustrialresearchersworkinginproductionprocessing(fromfibre
separationtothefinalproduct–textilesandcomposites),infibrecharacterisationandinstandardisationand
harmonisation,toacademicsresearchinginthefieldoftechnicalapplicationsofnaturalfibres,aswellasto
