摘要: Abstract This chapter focuses on natural fibre composites (NFCs) in which the matrix materials are polymeric resins. NFCs composite comprising at least one major component derived from a renewable biological origin. Fundamentals of NFC discussed terms reinforcement preforms, resins, manufacturing techniques, characterization and quality assurance. Since material based resources can provide viable low-cost structural components eco-friendly alternatives to conventional for automotive construction applications, newly emerging bio-based industry application also considered. In this second edition, fracture toughness enhanced by interlaminar techniques these applications discussed.
