  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Surfaces and Interfaces in Natural Fibre Reinforced Composites

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((BRIEFSBP))

Abstract

Natural fibres are complex hierarchical bio-assemblies built-up of several biopolymers. In this chapter, the main features related to biopolymers organization within natural fibres are described. Then, the specific surface properties and porous structure of natural fibres that are key parameters as regard to fibre and interface modifications are detailed.
