Composites originated as biomaterials employing plant fibres as reinforcements. References have been made to the use of linen and hemp textiles as reinforcements of ceramics as early as 6500 BC [1]. The Egyptians have also been known to use grass and straw as reinforcing fibres in mud and clay bricks for the building of walls over 3000 years ago [2]. While synthetic fibres, specifically E-glass, dominate today’s FRP market [3], awareness of the scarcity of non-renewable resources and a demand for environmental sustainability have led to a renewed and ever-increasing interest in  biocomposites. This is reflected by the increasing number of publications on  biocomposites during recent years, including books [1, 2, 4-7] and review articles [8-21].
