Fibre-Fixed: Composites in Design

Fibre-Fixed. Composites in Design is a book about what can be achieved when tried and tested fibers are combined with other materials - often (bio) plastics - to create fiber reinforced composite materials. These fibers can be manifold: carbon, glass, a synthetic fibre or natural fibers such as flax, hemp, jute, ramie, silk... The strength and stiffness of these fibers, combined with the lightness of plastics, inspires designers to create lightweight, energy-efficient products. At the same ...
