Article Preview

Abstract:

Natural fiber reinforced composites material are used in more and more industries for their low cost, lightweight, and more importantly, the properties of friendship to environment. Environmental friendship is a very significant superiority of natural fiber composites for auto industry. In this paper, the following aspects are reviewed: (1) superiority of natural fiber reinforced composite materials to glass fiber reinforced composite material, especially when they are used in automobile industry; (2) current usage in automobile industry and the prospective in the future; (3) recent developments.
