Abstract

The use of natural fibers as a reinforcement for various materials

was recorded already in ancient Egypt; however, their

rediscovery can be dated to the beginning of 20th century.

Currentspecial issueisdevoted to theroleofnatural fibersas

reinforcements for various biodegradable and nonbiodegradable

polymer matrices. The application of natural fillers can

be seen as an approach to adjust material performance of

polymer composites supposing that filler/matrix interactions

will be optimized and a hygroscopicity of natural fillers will be

hindered. This special issue contains 16 papers that highlight

a number of reasons for applications of natural fillers in

polymer composites. In recent years the discussion about

a balance in carbon footprint increased an attractiveness

of natural fibers/fillers derived from agricultural sources

predominantly from one-year plants.
