Biography
The Editor is working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, APS College of Engineering, Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The author's work broadly concentrates on Natural polymer composites, more specifically utilizing naturally available fibres and production of biodegradable composites. The author's approach has been to study the direct extrusion compression moulding of natural fibre-reinforced thermoplastic composites. Author?s research on mechanical characterization of natural fibre-reinforced composites. As well as he proposed some screw elements and their impact on fibre attrition during the extrusion moulding process. The fibre attrition and its impact on the properties of the composites have been studied. At larger scales, he is interested in the processes that allow us to search, navigate, and represent our position in the world around us. This work has concentrated on the typical development of Natural fibre composites and these composites have been proposed which are suitable for automotive parts, door panels, walls for houses etc. In studying different improved properties of these natural polymer composites he has developed and employed a range of methodologies, from normal composite plates to major parts for automotive sectors of large-scale movements.
