Abstract
The rapid growth of world population has resulted in substantial increases in demand and consumption of all raw materials world wide.This provides a unique opportunity for developing new,naturally-renewable and environmentally-friendly,biodegradable composites.This paper reviews the current literature covering the background,current status,and importance to the environment for developing a kind of composite made by natural fiber and biodegradable plastics.It also discusses current trends,emerging applications and research needs for future development.The successful development of these biocomposites from abundant and renewable natural fiber resources will provide a strategic alternative solution to the continuing depletion of petroleum reserves,environmental pollution,and protection of the fragile environment.
