• <strong>Natural</strong> fiber composites excel in most para<br />
meters except strength, strength of glass fib<br />
er composites is higher compared to natur<br />
al fibers<br />
• Flax fibers offer the highest reinforcing<br />
potential amongst the other natural fibers<br />
• Flax offers higher tensile strength compar<br />
ed to others makeing it suitable for compo<br />
site applications<br />
