This book is a collection of all papers on the 2016 International Conference on Advanced Material Science and Mechanical Engineering (AMSME2016), which will be held on March 20-21, 2016, Bangkok, Thailand. AMSME2016 is one of the most comprehensive conferences, which focused on the various aspects of material science and mechanical engineering. AMSME2016 aimed at bringing together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of material science and mechanical engineering.

This book provides an overview on the latest technology and applications of bio-based fiber composite materials. It covers the mechanical and thermal properties of bio-fibers for polymeric resins and explains the different pre-treatment methods used by the researchers for the enhancement. In addition, this book also presents a complete analysis on the tribological behavior of bio-fiber reinforced polymer composites to appreciate the friction and wear behavior.  This book would be a handy to the industrial practitioners and researchers in the direction of achieving optimum design for the...
