Abstract
Natural fibres, such as sisal, flax, hemp, curaua, ramie and buriti have been studied due to a growing interest in using natural fibres to substitute synthetic fibres in polymer composites. Their main advantages are low cost and low weight, combined with satisfactory mechanical properties1-2. Furthermore, they possess high toughness, reduced tool wear, good insulation properties, reduced human health hazard and enhanced energy recovery, as well as being recyclable and biodegradable3.
