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 feedstocks

Offers an analytical and statistical approach for the selection of composites for AM, including characterization of material properties

Emphasizes the use of environmentally friendly composites

Analyzes the lifecycle including costs

Considers potential new fibers, their selection, and future applications

This 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.
