**3. Applications of renewable biocomposites**

Biocomposites materials, which were formed by a matrix (resin) with the reinforcement of natural fibers such as wood fibers (soft wood, hard wood, newspaper, and magazine fibers) and nonwood fibers (kenaf, flax, jute, hemp, coir, cotton, sisal, and pineapple). These composite materials exhibit ultimate mechanical, thermal, and biodegradable properties. Because of the presence of these superior properties, the composite materials have significant applications in various fields such as automobile, military, aerospace, naval, construction, and packaging.
