Multiscale Textile Preforms and Structures for Natural Fiber Composites presents unified knowledge on relevant preform preparation techniques and their resulting fiber architectures. Emphasis is on the structural parameters of each preform and their effect on final composite properties. The book assembles information and knowledge on natural fiber reinforcement forms, including conventional forms such as spun yarn, woven, knitted, nonwoven, braided and comingled. These are illustrated and classified into one-, two- and three-dimensional reinforcements. In addition, the book includes information on non-conventional preform formation techniques such as unidirectional tapes, pre-impregnated preforms, spread tows, powerRibs and 3D printing filaments.

Textile reinforcement forms (preforms) play an important role in determining the properties of the final composite and product. The preform formation process provides precise control of the fiber architecture and orientation using a suitable textile manufacturing technique. While the techniques employed for preparing glass and carbon preforms are well-known, there is still a gap in understanding on how to prepare natural preforms for composite reinforcements.
