Plant and Animal Based Composites
This chapter is in the book Plant and Animal Based Composites

Abstract

Natural fiber composites are replacing conventional materials because of their eco-friendly and biodegradable nature. They are a renewable source and are preferred over artificial composites. A composite is a material that is a combination of two or more components or materials that together form a new one with higher strength. Natural fiber composites are materials fabricated by using either any one or both of the matrix and reinforcement, from natural sources that are biodegradable. In this chapter, the recent reports about the properties, fabrication process, applications and advancements in the field of composites fabricated with different biodegradable plant and animal fiber-reinforced composites have been discussed. Various types of matrices and reinforcements that are utilized with biopolymers for best maintainable green composites have also been discussed. These natural composites that have practically identical mechanical properties as synthetic composites maintain a balance between ecology, technology and economy which can be created at a low cost. This helps replace nonbiodegradable composites and are beneficial to the consumer
