N2 - Research on natural fiber composites (NFCs) has identified poor compatibility between natural fiber reinforcement and synthetic matrix, as one of the major factors limiting the wide use of NFC. A novel composite is introduced to resolve this problem, which is made entirely of cellulose and known as all-cellulose composite (ACC). ACC is believed to be the future of sustainable composites in the automotive industry. This chapter is devoted to the discussion of all-cellulose composites and its potential use as a sustainable composite in the automotive industry of the future. The manufacturing of ACC using conventional impregnation method (CIM) and partial dissolution method (PDM) is described, including a comparison between both methods. Then, the dissolution and regeneration stages and the types of solvents and anti-solvents used are also presented. Finally, the effect of the processing parameters on the properties of ACC is detailed and discussed.
