In many cases, bio-based materials offer lightweight applications, added functionality such as damping/impact absorption andoccupationalhealthbenefits.Thusbio-basedmaterialshavebecomeapressing issue both for academia and industry. A significant market driver for high volume applicationsisthepotentialtodisassociatematerialcostsfromtheinconsistentprice of oil and energy. This book chapter offers ranges of biocomposites, and the natural fibres, bio-basedpolymersandbio-basedcorematerialsusedtoproducethemandpresent the current best practice in design, mechanical characterisation and applications. The term “biocomposite” referred in the book represent fibre-reinforced polymer composite materials where the fibres and matrix are bio-based.

Artificial bio-based fibre reinforcements, such as regenerated cellulose, are also available and offer higher homogeneity.
