The use of natural fibres (e.g. flax, hemp etc.) instead of synthetic fibres (carbon and glass etc.) as composite reinforcements not only benefits the environment, but also provides economical lightweight products for transports. Although there are a few studies reported in literature on use of flax fibres, there is no comprehensive guide on use of flax fibres with bio-resins to re-engineer bio- composite systems that can be used in vehicle structures. The state-of-art of the current research towards using natural fibre reinforced composites is reviewed by the thesis. The review covers the performances of flax composites, concentrating on the effect of matrix types and existing development methods. The review also identifies the ra...
