Natural Fibre Composites and Their Mechanical Behaviour.

There is an increased interest in the scientific community regarding the use of bio-based polymers in composites, as combining these matrices with natural fibres produces "green composites" or "bio-composites". At present, natural-fibre-reinforced-composites (NFRCs) are seen as realistic alternatives to synthetic- (e.g., glass) fibre-reinforced composites in many applications. [Extracted from the article]
