Natural fiber-based biocomposite materials are increasingly present on the market primarily due to their environmental, economic, and recyclable properties. Compared to man-made polymers, which represent non-biodegradable materials derived from petroleum products, nowadays natural fiberbased biocomposites are gaining more attention because of their performance. Biocomposites are a group of materials consisting of matrix and reinforcement (fillers). Natural fibers, which usually have a reinforcing role in biocomposite materials, are derived from biomass (e.g. kenaf, flax, hemp). Also, the matrix can come from renewable sources. Biocomposite materials exhibit better properties than conventional or biopolymer materials. Their use reduces the negative impact on the environment and thus achieves greater sustainability. The increasing presence of these materials is mainly due to good mechanical and thermal properties. For example, they play a very important role in the production of many interior and exterior parts for cars, ships, aircraft. They are widely used in the household, medicine, and pharmaceutical industry, etc.
