6.1 Introduction
Natural fiber composites (NFCs) are constituted by one or more fiber types of vegetable origin, which act as the reinforcement of a polymer matrix. This can be in turn thermosetting or thermoplastic and oil-derived or bio-based. A large number of natural fibers have been experimented for use in composites. Also, a number of literature reviews on NFCs do exist, starting from around two decades ago [1–3]. Some reviews concentrate on more specific aspects, such as the possibility of structural applications [4], effect of chemical treatment ...
