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