Bamboo Fiber-reinforced Composites: Fabrication, Performance, Sustainability and Applications extensively covers the classifications, basic structure, compositions, extraction, morphology, processing and surface modification, and properties of various types of bamboo fibers. It also delves into the processing, fabrication, characterizations, and diverse applications of multifunctional composites consisting of bamboo fibers and their diverse matrices (thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, biopolymers, geopolymers, biodegradable polymers and concrete), along with their applications in aerospace, automotive, sports equipment, medical devices, wind turbines, infrastructure, water purification, piezoresistive sensors, fire retardants, EMI shielding, and eco-friendly packaging.

Finally, the book also addresses significant issues and emerging challenges related to bamboo fiber composites, including manufacturing, processing parameters, dimensional stability, and sustainability.
