ABSTRACT
During the last few years, major improvements in eco-friendly green composites in material application have been achieved by using composite materials made with biomass from natural resources as reinforcement (Auras et al. 2004; Chao-Lung et al. 2011; Debapriya and Basudam 2004; Garlotta 2002; Hagstrand and Oksman 2001). Reinforcement of plastics by biomass-based materials such as natural bers began with cellulose ber in the early eighteenth century and was later further developed (Favaro et al. 2010; Singha and Thakur 2008; Singha et al. 2008). Nowadays, for
