Surface Modification and Coating of Fibers, Polymers, and Composites: Techniques, Properties, and Applications outlines techniques, concepts, characterization, and applications of surface modification for fibers, polymers, and coated fiber-reinforced composites allowing for precision engineering of the mechanical and thermal properties, electrical conductivity, and chemical resistance of these materials. A broad range of fiber types are covered and the book highlights how surface modification enhances the durability and sustainability of them.

The book starts with chapters that discuss surface modification techniques for a range of different fibers and composites, including animal-based, mineral, leaf-based, root-based, and more. The next section of the book covers surface coating techniques as well as morphology, characterization, and computational modeling of surface-coated materials, and the book concludes with a section that outlines the properties and applications of coated fiber composites.
