Preface
Natural fibre composite is an emerging material that has great potential to be used in engineering application. Oil palm, sugar palm, bagasse, date palm, coir, banana stem, hemp, jute, sisal, kenaf, roselle, rice husk, betul nut husk, and cocoa pod, etc. are among the natural fibres reported to be used as reinforcing materials in polymer composites. Natural fibre composites were reported to be used in many industries such as automotive, building, furniture, marine and aerospace industries. Among the advantages of natural fibre composites include low cost, renewable, abundance, light weight, less abrasive, and they are suitable to be used in semi- or non-structural engineering components. Research on various aspects of natural fibre composites s
