Preface
In tropical regions, natural fibres are found in abundance and many of these fibres are suitable to be used as fibres in composites. The work on natural fibre composites had been carried for many centuries. Ford had used biopolymer from soya and filled with some natural fibres in their experimental cars in the 1950s. Nowadays, the research and development of natural fibre composites have been intensified and many industries have reaped the benefits from their development. As far as the use of fibres is concerned, fib
