Natural Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composites: Manufacturing and Biomedical Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polymeric and Natural Composites

Part of the book series: Advances in Material Research and Technology ((AMRT))

Abstract

Currently, the use of natural fibres as a reinforcement in composites presents many attractive benefits, including the reduction of materials from non-renewable sources and reduction of environmental impact. Intensive research is being carried out to develop biocomposites.
