## Abstract Natural fiber–biopolymer composites have been prepared using flax and poly(3‐hydroxylbutyrate) bipolyesters (PHB). The biopolyesters consist of the homopolyester PHB and its copolymers with 5 and 12% 3‐hydroxyvalerate (PHV). These biopolymer–natural fiber composites provide structures t
Natural fibers are emerging as low cost, lightweight and apparently environmentally superior alternatives to glass fibers in composites. We review select comparative life cycle assessment studies of natural fiber and glass fiber composites, and identify key drivers of their relative environmental pe
The use of natural fibers as reinforcement in polymeric composites for technical applications has been a research subject of scientists during the last decade. There is a great interest in the application of sisal fiber as substitutes for glass fibers, motivated by potential advantages of weight sav
