The use of Natural Fibre Composites (NFCs) in
automotive and building industries is growing
rapidly. NFCs are made from low cost, lighter and
more renewable natural fibres. This book explores
further potentinal of NFCs in developed and
developing countries, using materials that are
normally viewed as waste and simpler processing
methods. Using Canada and Lesotho for case studies,
raw materials and related institutional environment
are surveyed. Choice of materials and processing
methods for the composites are made on the basis
of the surveyed factors. Some of the selected fibres
are examined for their microstructural properties
and their interactions with waste plastics in the
composites. The composites are made and tested using
fibres from Agave americana leaves/flax stalks and
straw from corn/wheat stalks in waste Low Density
Polyethyelene (bale wrap) and High Density
Polyethylene (shopping bags). The environmental
benefits of NFCs are demonstrated using a Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA). This book challenges university
graduate and undergraduate students to think outside
the box when designing and creating the green
materials.
