ABSTRACT

Safely Design, Test, and Construct Products Made of Natural Fiber CompositesNatural fibers and their composites carry distinct advantages over industrial fibers. Some advantages-including renewability and availability of raw materials, and lower energy consumption-could help safeguard environmental resources and eventually replace synthetic composi
