Lignocellulosic Polymer Composites

  • Chapter
Science and Technology of Polymers and Advanced Materials

Abstract

Most of the plants growing all over the world are typical biotechnology works of lignocellulosic natural polymer. They can be divided into three groups: annual, biannual and perennial plants. The lignocellulosic materials of perennial origin are e.g. wood and bamboo. Wood as lignocellulosic material has been used for centuries for different applications: as a fuel, construction material, and later as a chemical raw material, mainly for pulp and fiber as well as particleboards and some fine chemical products.
