Abstract

Due to growing environmental concerns, the engineers and researchers have shifted to using renewable resources to replace many non-renewable, conventional materials like metals and synthetic fibres. Natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites (bio-composites) are usually human-made materials that have gained huge attention in various fields of engineering applications. However, the difficulties in the secondary manufacturing of these composites due to the anisotropic and heterogeneous nature create a barrier in the large-scale production of bio-composites products. This chapter deals with various machining operations associated with natural fibre-reinforced composites. The challenges faced during the machining of natural fibre-reinforced composites have been summarised. Different ways of assisting the quality and improvement of the machined surface have been discussed.
