“…One should not be surprised by this remarkable potential if it is accepted that only wood encompasses around 10,000 distinct species. In principle, for each lignocellulosic species of plant, fibers with distinct properties from different parts, such as leaves, stem, fruits, and even roots could be extracted for engineering purposes 1 . Today, one of the motivations for investigating lignocellulosic fibers is the possible substitution for synthetic fiber in polymer composites.…”
