Abstract

The interest in natural fibre reinforced polymer composite materials is rapidly growing both in terms of industrial applications and basic research. They are renewable cheap completely or partially recyclable and biodegradable. These fibres are incorporated into a matrix material such as thermosetting plastics thermoplastics or biopolymers and rubber. Plants such as flax cotton hemp jute sial kenaf coir pineapple ramie bamboo banana etc as well as wood used from time immemorial as a source of lignocellulosic fibres are more and more often applied to the reinforcement of composites. Their availability renewabality low density and price as well as satisfactory mechanical properties make them an attractive ecological alternative to glass carbon and man-made fibres used for the manufacture of composites. The natural fibre-containing composites are environmentally more friendly and are used in transportation automobiles railway coaches aerospace military applications building and construction industries ceiling paneling partition boards packaging consumer products etc. Natural fibre reinforced composites can be divided into groups as follows: 1- Conventional panel-type composites such as particleboards MDF insulation boards based on organic binding materials including natural binders like lignin tannin where the lignocellulosic serve as the main ingredient of a composite. 2- Lignocellulosic-mineral composites which are based on inorganic binding materials 3- Natural fibre reinforced polymers in which the lignocellulosic serve as reinforcing fillers within a matrix material such as thermoplastics thermosetting plastics rubbers and nonwoven textile-type composites.
