Modification of fibres for technical applications reviews the physical and chemical modification of natural and synthetic fibres for technical applications. Problems such as the high level of moisture absorption of natural fibres, poor wettability by non-polar plastics, and insufficient adhesion between untreated fibres and the polymer matrix result in poor properties in composites, for example. The book reviews a range of methods to physically and chemically modify fibres to provide appropriate functionality for technical applications.
