Abstract

In recent times, industry has promoted the utilization of raw materials that are bio-based or bio-derived in nature. Cellulose is a widely applicable carbohydrate abundantly available in nature, such as agricultural biomass or forestry biomass. Limitations of cellulose materials, such as less thermal stability and mechanical strength, can be addressed by converting them into carbon form. Carbonization of cellulose fiber at high temperatures can convert it into carbon fiber, which is further applicable for aerospace, structural, conductive, and packaging applications. Carbon fiber-based polymeric composites are in use in most of the applications. Thus, in association with experimental studies, theoretical investigations are also becoming important nowadays for better understanding and future upgrades of the products. In view of this, the present chapter focuses on one such representative system, where the analysis of wave propagation in a bio-derived material layered plate structure is studied. Under the orthotopic plate, fiberreinforced composite (FRC) is presumed to be the layered plate structure in the present analysis. The interface of the plate structure is assumed to be loose bonding, i. e., there is a slip between the two-layer structure. In particular, carbon fiber is considered an FRC, where carbon fiber can be derived from cellulose nanofiber. A dispersion equation was derived using proper boundary conditions to determine the effect of various nondimensional characteristics, such as the imperfectness parameter, thickness parameter, and reinforcement parameters. This study provides valuable insights into the field of bio-catalysis, building materials, and bio-compatible coatings for medical devices and their impacts.
