Natural fiber (NF) is one of the many resources that nature has provided. NFs decompose
quickly and are biodegradable, renewable, and cost-effective. It may be scavenged from a …

In recent times, a clear trend towards the use of biobased materials can be seen in many
areas. Apart from beneficial ecological properties, high strength and stiffness at low weight …

To date, the literature has focused on synthetic fibre-reinforced composites, but it has not
adequately addressed the unique properties that differentiate natural from synthetic fibres …

For the past 15 years, there has been tremendous interest and technological development
concerning biocomposites. Plant fibres can be derived from a multitude of natural agro …

In recent years, the use of flax fibres as reinforcement in composites has gained popularity
due to an increasing requirement for develo** sustainable materials. Flax fibres are cost …

Recently, interest has been increasing in natural fibres as composite reinforcing fillers for
