Different characteristics and properties of the natural fiber composites have to be investigated in order to maximize their potential usage and implementation in vari­ous applications. Adopting of any new material type in a certain application is lim­ited by several factors that affect its suitability in that particular application (Al-Oqla and Sapuan 2014; Dweiri and Al-Oqla 2006).

It is of paramount importance to know various physical, chemical, mechanical, and biological as well as economic and environmental properties of the composite in order to determine its compatibility with a particular application to ensure its contribution to the industrial sustainability (Al-Oqla and Sapuan 2014).
