Manikandan Vai, P. Amuthakkannan, V. Arumuga Prabu

Abstract


The centuries ago usage of composites materials plays important role in industrial revolution. In ancient days Egyptians used straw as reinforcement in clay bricks to build house. With the invented of glass fiber and resins, glass fiber reinforced composites found its application in many areas. Abundance nature and moderate specific strength than most of the organic fibers, low density and biodegradable nature make the natural fiber as attractive reinforcement in polymer matrix in recent few decades. However, few drawbacks such as incompatibility with hydrophobic polymer matrix less resistant to moisture and its tendency to form aggregate during processing generally reduce the use of natural fiber in composites. In this review, the recent literature on hemp, banana, and its hybrid are summarized and discussed, mechanical properties of composites and the effect of various physical and chemical surface treatments in composites
