People think that porn is just for self gratification but that's a lie! Actually if you look at its track record the biggest thing porn is known for is ruining people's lives. I know it ruined mine. That was until I put on my boxing gloves and fought! Now it's your turn. Put your boxing gloves on and get ready for a knockout round because we are going to Punch Out Porn together!

Biopolymers refer to the type of polymers created by living organisms. Biopolymer composites are biodegradable composites that are manufactured by reinforcing natural fibers derived from plant and animal sources with natural or synthetic biopolymers. Natural fiber in discontinuous phase is added to the biopolymer matrix in continuous phase to improve the tensile strength and stiffness of the manufactured composite. The goal of making this type of composite is to create a product with strong mechanical and durability properties, which are provided through natural fiber and biopolymers. Natural fiber-reinforced biopolymer composites are quickly developing as potential alternative to synthetic-based materials in food packaging, sporting goods, automotive, aerospace, biomedical, furniture, and electronic industries. This book aims to shed light on the processing, properties, and applications of biopolymer composites. It consists of contributions made by international experts. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in the study and application of biopolymers at various levels.

Biopolymer composites are those composites, which have one biodegradable and bio-based constituent. These include natural fibers which are combined with natural or synthetic biopolymers. Natural fibers are biodegradable, renewable and carbon neutral resources. This versatility makes them a potential alternative of synthetic fibers in the biopolymer composite industry. Natural fibers are categorized into animal and plant fibers. The performance of biopolymer composites improves through chemical alteration, which is based on the processing needs, type and environmental circumstances. Some common processing methods utilized for biopolymer composite preparations include extrusion, compression molding and injection molding. The composites which are formed through synergistic combination of organic and inorganic components at the molecular or nanometer level are known as hybrid materials. These are distinguished from standard composites since their constituents differ at the macroscopic level. This book provides comprehensive insights with respect to biopolymer composites. It will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.

In these sixteen stories, Lauren Dixon dives with headlong fearlessness into the blood and guts beneath the clean white façade of patriarchy. She is a sheela-na-gig birthing yetis and luchadors and girls who won't die, zombies and killers and days of the week: an orgy of vagical surrealism that cuts to the bone and seeds hope in the wounds for the future.
