| description | Research on the use of natural fibers as replacement to man-made fibre in fiber
reinforced composites have received more interest and opened up further industrial possibilities.
Natural fibre presents many advantages compared to synthetic fibers which make them attractive as
reinforcements in composite material. They come from abundant and renewable resources, which
ensures a continuous fibre supply and a significant material cost saving to the plastics, automotive
and packaging industries. The paper reviews the previous and current research works published in
the field of natural fiber reinforced composite material with special reference in mechanical
properties of the natural fiber reinforced composite. |
