This chapter first gives an overview of cellulose raw materials and their molecular and supermolecular structures. The principles of shaping cellulose into fibres, films, and nonwovens by means of solution techniques are then outlined followed by a section on properties and market applications of these materials. Derivatives of cellulose are presented with special emphasis on thermoplastic cellulose esters, typical plasticizers, and promising reinforcing materials. Finally, recent developments and future prospects of cellulose materials are reviewed as far as the above applications are concerned. This book does not cover the important applications of cellulose and ligno cellulose fibres for reinforcing thermoplastics, like wood plastic composites (WPC) and natural fibre reinforced plastics (NFRP), since in these cases cellulose does not substitute a thermoplastic.

FRCs can be classified based on matrix and fibres. Based on fibre source, FRCs may be natural fibre reinforced and synthetic fibre reinforced. Based on fibre length, they can be continuous fibre reinforced and discontinuous fibre reinforced. But FRCs are generally classified based on matrix component. Thus according to the types of matrices stated earlier, composites are of three types (i) ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), (ii) metal matrix composites (MMCs) and (iii) organic matrix composites (OMCs). Organic matrix is subdivided into two classes, namely polymer matrix and carbon matrix. A short description of all these types of composites are discussed below. [Pg.274]

Natural fibre-reinforced polymers have created interest in the recent years in the automotive industry. Besides, other applications of natural fibre composites include door inner panel, seat back, roof inner panel, and so on. Natural fibres are being used in automotive industry due to the following reasons ... [Pg.279]
