Natural Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
Abstract
The incorporation of natural fibers as a reinforcing agent in thermoplastic polymer composites has gained increasing applications both in many areas of engineering and technology. Several natural fiber-based thermoplastic composite materials have been developed using modified synthetic strategies to extend its application in the automotive area. The advantage of using natural fibers is more economical and ecologically favorable. The effects of …
