Management, recycling and reuse of waste composites
Related titles: Wood–polymer composites (ISBN 978-1-84569-272-8) Wood–polymer composites are becoming more accepted in advanced engineering applications. The latest generation of wood–polymer composites are being used in automotive, civil and marine engineering. Advances in durability, mechanical properties and materials used in their production have allowed a significant increase in their use in outdoor applications such as decking, fencing, utility poles and exterior woodwork on buildings. Wood–polymer composites also benefit from being more sustainable than other, traditional, composites and possess a consistency in quality that cannot be achieved by wood alone. This book provides a comprehensive survey on major new developments in wood–polymer composites and presents current research from leading innovators around the world. Recycling in textiles (ISBN 978-1-85573-952-9) An increasing amount of waste is generated each year from textiles (including carpets and clothing) and their production. For economic and environmental reasons it is necessary that as much as possible of this waste is recycled instead of being disposed of in landfill sites. On average approximately ten million tonnes of textile waste is currently dumped in Europe and America each year. Recycling in textiles is the first book to bring together textile recycling issues, technology, products, processes and applications for all of those in the industry who are now looking for ways to recycle their textile waste. Design and manufacture of textile composites (ISBN 978-1-85573-744-0) The term ‘textile composites’ is often used to describe a rather narrow range of materials, based on three-dimensional reinforcements produced using specialist equipment. The intention in this book is to describe the broad range of polymer composite materials with textile reinforcements, from woven and non-crimp commodity fabrics to 3D textiles. Whilst attention is given to modelling of textile structures, composites manufacturing methods and subsequent component performance, it is substantially a practical book intended to help all those developing new products with textile composites.
