Abstract

The gowning environmental concerns lead to the development of sustainable and eco-friendly products made of natural resources called green composites. This chapter gives an introductory overview of green composites. Different types of matrix and natural fiber used for the development of green composites have been discussed thoroughly by investigating their properties and fabrication methods. The applications of green composites in different fields have been reviewed. The machining and joining behavior of green composites has also been discussed in the present chapter.
