Green composites became a most important and adaptable theme of research. This area/theme not only harness the agricultural wastes such as bagasse fibres, banana fibres, etc. but also provides a new material manufactured from these wastes which are reduced weight, have low cost, and have high mechanical strength. Currently, there are various methods available for the processing or fabrication of green composites. Some of these methods are hand layup method, injection molding method, spray-up method, compression molding, Resin-Transfer Molding (RTM), etc. In this chapter, we are discussing about the fabrication method of green composite and their important parameters. Various properties and characterization of composite materials made by these methods have also been discussed and reported here.

An acrylic epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) has been used in this study. The synthesis of the acrylic resin has been made from acrylic acid which breaks the epoxy groups of the ESO (epoxidized soybean oil). This material can be obtained thermosetting polymers suitable for use as a matrix in "green composites. The aim of this work is to develop some AESO-styrene mixtures in order to evaluate the influence of the AESO-styrene ratio in the curing process and also it is desired to obtain the resins characteristics.

This paper reports the microscopic fracture behavior of natural fiber-reinforced green composites. The acoustic emission (AE) method of nondestructive and real-time testing was applied to detect small-scale energy release phenomena during tensile deformation of the green composites. The unidirectional abaca fiber was embedded in a starch-based biodegradable resin matrix. Two kinds of pre-damaged abaca fibers as well as as-received (i.e. undamaged) fiber were used to examine the effect of the pre-damaged abaca fiber on the overall fracture behavior of the unidirectional green composites. In the case of the green composites reinforced with as-received abaca fiber, both of the tensile strength and fracture strain were relatively high. In the case of the green composites reinforced with pre-damaged abaca fiber, however, showed relatively smaller tensile strength and fracture strain. In addition, a wide range of amplitude AE events were measured during the tensile deformation. This tendency was enhanced in the composites reinforced with heavily damaged abaca fiber. The experimental results showed that the AE activity in the early deformation stage was associated with such the microscopic fracture of pre-damaged abaca fibers.
