5. Composite materials and plant fibers
5.1 History of the use of plant fibers as reinforcement
For reasons of availability and cost, natural fibers of plant origin are the most widely used for reinforcing composite materials. Although plant fibers can be considered as new reinforcements, they have been used for many years.
In 1855, in Paris, François Charles Lepage patented "hardened wood". . This material is composed of rosewood sawdust (generally) and ox blood, with albumin acting as the matrix. Moulding, by compression under...
