Abstract

Agro-waste fibres (AWFs) are of very reasonable economic value and have attracted a lot of research interest globally. AWFs have significant potential in composites due to low cost, high strength, environmental benign nature, availability, and sustainability. Nevertheless, dozens of the investigations have failed to give the desired attention of the fire behaviour of AWF composite materials when exposed to heat atmosphere. In this chapter, a detailed account of AWF composite material combustion process was discussed to understand the reason for the high heat release rates (HRR) caused by cellulosic content. HRR is a critical component of the flammability properties of AWF composite materials as the fire behaviour largely depends on it. The prospective examination of AWF composite material fire behaviour gives the required direction about the limits of their utilization and developmental trends for future industrial applications in Nigeria.
