Abstract

Growing environmental concerns in recent years have led to finding new resources to replace the synthetic materials such as glass and carbon fibers in the development of polymeric and cementitious matrices-based composites. One such material is lignocellulosic fibers, due to their inherent characteristics such as abundant availability and renewability, low weight, biodegradability, interesting specific properties, etc. Studies have been carried out throughout the world in the utilization of these fibers particularly in the development of light weight, but high-performance composites. Some of their products are already in use in many applications. Although these fibers have been used even in sculptures or in arts in general, there is no report on the characteristics required for such applications. This chapter focuses on the exploration of these aspects particularly about the appearance of some plant fibers as well as their texture and potential use in polymeric sculptures or in arts. While doing so, the chapter will also present availability, methodologies used for the characterization as well as the reported properties (chemical, physical, mechanical thermal, electrical, environmental, and moisture absorption) of various Brazilian-based lignocellulosic fibers. It is hoped this will be applicable to fibers from other parts of the world to open up new areas of their utilization in a scientific manner enabling new value-added application for these agro-industrial byproducts, which may otherwise go waste.
